Everywhere we hear talk of decline, of a world that was better once, maybe fifty years ago, maybe centuries ago, but certainly before modernity drew us along its dubious path. While some lament the slide of Western culture into relativism and nihilism and others celebrate the trend as a liberating sort of progress, Charles Taylor calls on us to face the moral and political crises of our time, and to make the most of modernity’s challenges.

When this work was first published in 1970, it shredded the then-trendy nuts-and-bolts extraterrestrial hypothesis for UFOs in favor of one that linked UFOs to a variety of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that have taken place throughout history. Keel was one of the first to note that the UFO phenomenon appears in different disguises - and that one could not begin to decipher this great mystery without first taking into account its many and varied deliberate deceptions.

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.

Most manipulation doesn’t feel like manipulation. It feels like common sense. Like consensus. Like loyalty. Like fear. Sometimes, it feels like your own idea. Manipulation: Recognize and Resist Psychological Control examines how people, groups, institutions, and systems shape what we perceive, believe, and do—often without our realizing that influencing is even taking place. The same mental shortcuts that allow us to navigate a complicated world can also be used against us. Intelligence alone is no defense.

As the world entered the 21st century, unresolved mysteries from earlier times were reframed with new clarity. While civilization had matured in technical depth and global cooperation, research on frontier phenomena expanded across the globe. The early pioneers of the scientific study of UFOs (Allen Hynek, Donald Keyhoe, Aimé Michel, James McDonald) had passed away, but their enthusiasm inspired a growing number of researchers.

Charles Fort, a writer in the 1920s, concluded that the Earth was "owned" by someone or something. Ivan Sanderson, a famed biologist in the 1960s, said that this planet was a "farm" and that we were the crop. Millions of people around the world have had startling encounters with the "tricksters", such as the Men in Black (MIB), fairies and elves, snallygasters, Mothmen, aliens and "spacemen", and hairy, abominable creatures that all seem to vanish into thin air. With sharp wit and unique insight, John A. Keel has spent a lifetime investigating and studying these age-old mysterious and the peculiar forces behind them.
