Publisher's summary

In Dimensions, Dr. Jacques Vallee reexamines the historical record that led to the modern UFO phenomenon and to the belief in alien contact. He then 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. In the last portion of the book, he notes the factors that inhibit research into the phenomenon - the triple coverup and political motivations - and concludes that the extraterrestrial theory is simply not strange enough to explain the facts.

I recommend this book

I recommend this book. Vallee has been involved with the UFO phenomenon since the 1950s. He thinks for himself and has a compelling solution to the mysteries of UFOs.

Dimensions lots of questions

Interesting take on comparisons of the phenomenon with uaps, lore, and mythology. Tied a lot of different takes together. However, leaves you with more questions in the end.

Good book with caveats

Valee has earned his stripes with a great gathering of UFO accounts over millennia. I cringed when he referred to Uri Geller, a known charlatan. Overall it’s an interesting book and worth one’s time. It’s sad to think that man is gullible enough to convert an experience into religion.

Valuable for anyone interested in the topic

The main idea is that people have reported experiences of interactions with mysterious beings continuously throughout recorded history: demons, elves, UFOs, etc.

Vallee argues that such phenomena originate in intelligence from another dimension, and probably not from aliens that have traveled through space to visit our planet.

Highly speculative and limited, but intellectually honest.

Fantastic!

This book might change your life

One of the best, if not the best, analyses of the UFO phenomenon. I really want to read the rest of his books now

Excellent!

I just finished my second read through. I absolutely loved this book. It instantly topped the charts for me on being one of the best books, dare I say, the best book, on the subject. After having read so much about the mystery, I have more or less come to the same conclusion as the author. His wisdom, experience, and educational background make him uniquely positioned to be the foremost living expert in the study of these phenomena. I am so excited this is only the first of three books and now that I have purchased the next two volumes I will immediately start reading the second book in the series. I highly recommend Dimensions if you are interested in the subject. It is very grounded and humbling.

interesting Perspective

It was an interesting read and brings up a lot of great points. it's good to remain skeptical about this phenomena, until we can prove otherwise we shouldn't just accept the narrative. Question everything.

Interesting and Thought Provoking

Vallee provides insight into the topics of visitors and abductions and does not toe the line of many in the ancient aliens field. His historic knowledge and the extensive research he has applied throughout his career gives a solid foundation and questions the common theory often ascribed to the answer being of extraterrestrial origins. Whether you ultimately believe his theories or not, the propositions are thought provoking and deserve a deeper scientific approach to investigate and determine what this ancient and ongoing interaction truly is.
