  • International District Library 7601 Central (map)

Join us for an enlightening afternoon dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of the unknown. The event will begin with a comprehensive overview of Dr. Jacques Vallee's groundbreaking contributions to the fields of computer science, internet technology, ufology, and astronomy. From his early days at the Paris Observatory to his pioneering work on the ARPANET, Dr. Vallee's journey has been one of relentless curiosity and groundbreaking discoveries. This lecture will set the stage for the extraordinary film that follows, providing you with a deeper understanding of the complexities involved in the study of UFO phenomena.

Film Screening: 'Witness of Another World'

We are proud to present "Witness of Another World," an intimate documentary that goes beyond the conventional UFO narrative. This film delves into the life of Juan Pérez, a man who experienced a profound and life-altering encounter in the secluded Argentinian pampa. In September of 1978, Juan, then a young boy, came face to face with an inexplicable mystery that would alter the course of his life forever. With the help of filmmaker Alan Stivelman and astrophysicist Jacques Vallée, the documentary explores Juan's attempt to understand the meaning behind his close encounter.

Unlike typical UFO documentaries that focus on physical evidence and sightings, "Witness of Another World" seeks to capture the essence of the human experience when confronted with the extraordinary. It's a story of isolation, transformation, and the quest for understanding in the face of an unimaginable event.

This event is not just a film screening; it's an opportunity to explore the depth of the human condition through the lens of the unexplained. "Witness of Another World" has been hailed as one of the most moving and insightful documentaries on UFOs, providing a unique perspective on the phenomenon.

We invite you to join us for this moving experience. Engage with the mystery, feel the human emotion, and perhaps leave with more questions than answers. This is your chance to dive deep into the unknown and explore the profound impact of the unexplained on the human spirit.

Hope to see you there!
