Passport to Magonia is one of the most influential books ever written on UFOs, alien contact, folklore, fairy encounters and the strange continuity of supernatural visitation stories across history.

Jacques Vallée argues that modern UFO reports should not be treated in isolation, but compared with older traditions of encounters with fairies, elves, spirits, demons, angels, mysterious lights, aerial beings and otherworldly realms. Moving between folklore, mythology, witness reports, flying saucer cases and paranormal research, the book asks whether these experiences may belong to a much older and stranger pattern in human culture.

A landmark title for readers interested in UFOs, folklore, fairy lore, paranormal encounters, high strangeness, Forteana, alien visitation, and the blurred border between myth and modern experience.
