EXPLORING OTHER DIMENSIONS In DIMENSIONS, Dr. Jacques Vallee reexamines the historical record that led to the modern UFO phenomenon and to the belief in alien contact. He tackles the enigma of abduction reports, which come from various times and various countries, as well as the psychic and spiritual components of the contact experience. He notes the factors that inhibit research into the phenomenon and concludes that the extraterrestrial theory is simply not strange enough to explain the facts. A serious scientist who has studied the phenomenon of alien contact stories examines past and present claims and offers the startling hypothesis that they are true, but that the reported and "beings and " are not from other planets or galaxies, that they may inhabit another dimension, a dimension so startlingly different from our own that our consciousness lurches to experience it.
