Wonders in the Sky

One of the most ambitious works of paranormal investigation of our time, this unprecedented compendium of pre-20th-century UFO accounts is written with vigor and color by two of today's leading investigators of unexplained phenomena.

Jacques Vallee is one of today's most widely respected researchers of unexplained aerial phenomena. He earned a master's degree in astrophysics while living in France and holds a Ph.D. in computer science from Northwestern University. Vallee is the author of several books about high technology and unidentified phenomena, including the seminal work Passport to Magonia, published in 1969. He lives in San Francisco.

Chris Aubeck has compiled the largest collection of pre-1947 unexplained aerial cases in the world. In 2003, he cofounded the Magonia Project, a remarkable network of librarians, students, and scholars of paranormal history on the Internet. The group has accumulated thousands of references, searched media archives in several languages, and scanned hundreds of hard-to-find books, scholarly journals, and magazines. Aubeck lives in Madrid, Spain.
