ONE DAY IN SAN FRANCISCO, Jacques Vallee realizes why the highly classified project he joined two years earlier will never solve the many-dimensional mystery it investigates. That insight into UFO phenomena leads him into a deeper independent field exploration of cases in Brazil and Argentina, Europe and Russia. Back home in Silicon Valley, his professional fascination for new business ventures opens opportunities to draw new insights from biology and information physics. Vallee uses the literary skills of a mature diarist to introduce us to this colorful world of twenty-first century research. When the path to new solutions takes an unexpected turn, his psychic explorations enter a new domain, rich in emotional presences and esoteric insight.
