From Revelations intro:

In Dimensions, the first book of his Alien Contact Trilogy, Dr. Jacques Vallee presented a
fascinating casebook of UFO activity. In its gripping sequel, Confrontations, he reported
his personal, worldwide investigation into reports of UFO sightings, contact, and, in some
cases, abduction and human injury. Now in Revelations, the climax of the Alien Contact
trilogy, Dr. Vallee presents startling evidence that well-constructed hoaxes and media
manipulations have misled UFO researchers, diverting them from the real issues at hand in the
UFO phenomenon.

Some customers (not editorial) reviews from amazon:

Jacques Vallee - 1Dimensions: A Casebook of Alien Contact

This book deals with the concept of alternate realities and other dimensions. It also shows
how this seems to explain the simularity between the reports of "gods" and faery folk in the
past, with reports of UFO's and their occupants in the present. It is interesting that Vallee
(who was the model for the French scientist in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind") doesn't
see UFO's as extraterrestrial visitors. He maintains that they have always been here with us.

Jacques Vallee - 2Confrontations: A Scientist's Search for Alien Contact

Now retired from the UFO scene, Jacques Vallee was one of the most sober, perceptive,
and scientifically astute observers of the phenomenon. "Confrontations" is the second volume
of his great trilogy ("Dimensions" and "Revelations" are the other two) which summed up his 40-odd years of research.

As the title suggests, this book focuses on the dangers - physical, psychological, and even
spiritual - of contact (intentional or otherwise) between human beings and the energy forms
known as UFOs. I say "energy forms" because Vallee discounts the idea that UFOs are
spaceships from other planets or other galaxies. Instead, he sees them as "multidimenional
entities" - a form of paranormal energy, indeed a non-human intelligence - that has in varying
forms interacted with human beings throughout recorded history.

Drawing on his personal files, including numerous black-and-white photos, Vallee describes
the debilitating effects that often result from too-close contact - sought or unsought - with the
UFO phenomenon. From California to Brazil, we follow Vallee as he interviews the victims of
contact and lets them tell their stories.

And they are indeed victims. Vallee's subjects have met neither the benign "space brothers" of
the 1950s contactees nor - for the most part - the reptilian, bug-eyed abductors of the
1990s. But they have interacted with powerful, disorienting energies, energies capable of
producing harmful mental and physical effects, up to and including death. They have been
touched by the paranormal, and most are worse of because of it.

Jacques Vallee - 3Revelations

Valle's finale to the UFO trilogy includes many incidents which have become household
words. In the process, he shows how the unwary have frequently been made pawns in the
ongoing controversy of UFOs and the holy grail of proof that so many are seeking or denying.

As many have come to learn, the UFO controversy is a story that is true one day and false
the next. The manipulations that go on inside the controversy are at once blatant and subtle;
no "smoking gun" emerges, yet the magic show goes on. Why are so many lies used in refuting
and denying this topic?

Written with penetrating insight, and at times wry humor. The insitence of this author that the
reader think for himself may irritate some people while delighting others. Interesting and
thought-provoking light is shed on the disinformation activities of those who continue to claim that UFOs officially do not exist. This book can be read as a stand alone, or as the
conclusion to the observations made in the first two books in the trilogy (Confrontations and
Dimensions).
