…that's just one thread of the evidence. It's one thread of the evidence and it isn't really well supported by the evidence. Jacques Vallée, who is one of the foremost commentators on the phenomenon has been at great pains to point out that with the…
…this is the so called postmodern approach to ask the question: not what is the UFO, but what is it doing to us. Jacques Vallée pioneered this approach and the answer is fascinating. What the ufos are doing to us, to global society is they are eroding…
