Confrontations: Scientist's Search for Alien Contact

Science & Nature Spirituality & New Age Biography & Memoir

Jacques Vallee’s Confrontations invites readers into the high-stakes world of a computer-age astronomer hunting evidence of alien contact. In this 1990 hardcover first edition, Vallee blends field notes, photographs and maps to show how UFO encounters ripple through ordinary lives.

The book’s illustrated dust jacket still shines, yet age has left the page edges freckled with light foxing and a mellow vintage patina. Closed, the block shows scattered tan spots; inside, occasional page margins carry the same quiet speckling—never obscuring text, always reminding collectors they hold a 34-year-old treasure.

A cornerstone text for UFOlogy and paranormal shelves, Confrontations pairs scientific rigor with first-person biography, making it an absorbing read for curious young adults and seasoned researchers alike. This Profile Books release, printed in the United States, fits neatly into any antiquarian collection focused on true stories of the unexplained.
