Oh Reza, don't tease. I await your UFO trilogy with baited breath.

I have heard you have seen an actual UFO, so you are going to be the first person who reads it.

I have seen lights in the sky that I cannot explain, yes. What's in my book is pretty much the encounters as they happened.

Shit. You’ve put me in the mood for Jacques Vallée. Dying to read your book.

Vallée is there so as the late Reich of the Oranur report.

Vallee and John Keel are the twinned godheads...

No, but I just did a quick Google... very interesting. Mussolini gave a speech on the likelihood of Martian invasion!

They still had Martians on the mind back them. I find current general disinterest in aliens—*and* the dominance of the "Ancient Alien" wing—supremely telling of a shift in the contemporary imagination.

To be honest, the focus on "aliens" is pretty tedious at the best of times. But take that out of the equation, and there are still unexplained phenomena. That's why Keel and Vallee are so great. They don't fall into the trap of SF cliche.

I think the early psychoanalysis is the best when it comes to such phenomena. You can either see alien as the registers of cosmological traumas or as expressions of something quite mundane which you can't explain coherently .

Any story about aliens should be made in the fashion of the collective unconscious or individual consciousness.

Yes. Tarkovsky was on the right track regarding this approach.
