You haven't read Messengers of Deception"?!

You're one of those people who I assumed had read that one early on. I used to lend/ give that one out to people, since I kept finding it in the used bookstores.; 12:38 AM
Mac said...: I've read all of Vallee's UFO books except "Messengers" and "Challenge to Science." Fortunately, I now have both on my shelf.; 12:44 AM
Anonymous said...: Is it called multidimensional or interdimensional hypothesis of Mr. Jacques Vallee?; 2:54 AM
Mac said...: Vallee uses the term "multiverse" rather than "interdimensional" -- wisely, in my opinion, because "interdimensional" implies that the "aliens" hail from other spatial dimensions (a la "Flatland").; 5:02 AM
dudivie said...: Multiverse is the case and a word for physicists ?; 8:59 AM
Mac said...: "Multiverse" has become a mainstream cosmological term, but I think it was relatively new when Vallee first applied it to the UFO phenomenon.; 4:05 PM
purrlgurrl said...: "Captured" by Betty Hill's niece is intended to set the record straight by presenting the complete facts of the Hills' experience. Unless you're a serious researcher, skip all the excrutiangly dull, overdetailed sidebars. What made the book stand out from other writings about the Hills is that we see them as real human beings seen through the eyes of someone who loved them, not the archetypes they've become.; 1:46 AM
Mac said...: Purrlgurrl--

Books like this seem to always err on the side of uninteresting detail. People with "normal" lives typically just aren't that interesting to read about.; 10:39 PM
