Anatomy of a Phenomenon: Unidentified Objects in Space - A Scientific Appraisal

By Jacques Vallée

Categories: Religion & Spirituality, Science & Math

Anatomy of a Phenomenon, first published in 1965, was Jacques Vallée's first book, written while he was working as an astronomer and computer specialist and studying UFO reports with a scientist's methods. Vallée surveys sightings from antiquity to the 1950s, classifies the shapes, behavior and locations described by witnesses, criticizes the US Air Force's handling of the problem and argues that the reports deserve systematic scientific study rather than dismissal.
