The edge of reality

This book is well-titled: The Edge of Reality. They are operating at the edge of the boundary, the edge of the secret treaty between rationalism and irrationalism, between the phenomenal and the noumenal. What they are unwilling to admit is that they are operating at the boundary between the natural and the supernatural, or better put, between the fixed patterns of the creation and demonic intervention. The Edge of Reality is a delight to read. Most of it is a transcription of a three-way discussion between Hynek, Vallee, and a psychologist, Hastings. At the end, they “pull out the stops” and allow their imaginations to run wild. What can account for the phenomena? What could they be? Outside aliens? Earth-bound aliens? Secret weapons of very bright humans? Or genetic programming of some kind? Why do they never seem to contact scientists? Why are the stories of the contacts familiar-basic patterns, leading nowhere? What are the implications for mankind?
