Overview
Are they optical illusions caused by swamp gas, or are they visitors from distant planets? This volume recounts the famous New Mexico sightings of "flying saucers," along with many others.This imaginative series looks at great mysteries of the past that can be explained by science today. It also covers more recent events, many of which remain unexplained. This book tells the stories, shows photographic evidence, discusses theories-and balances the account with "Professor Skeptic," who offers opinions and provides explanations that account for both hoaxes and entirely natural phenomena. Ages 10 and older
Editorials
Children's Literature -
This book is designed for those desiring a close look at the mystery and history of unidentified flying objects (UFOs). It contains both fictional and factual accounts of UFOs, dating way back in time. Each page is full of photographs and text that features lots of titles and subtitles. Information ranges from sightings and conspiracies to alien abductions and present web sites. Although this book has plenty of information to intrigue, it fails to do so. The text is too disjointed and the photographs are too cluttered, leaving even the most UFO curious reader tired and disappointed. It is part of the "Unexplained Series." 1999, Ticktock Publishing Ltd., Ages 8 to 12, $5.95. Reviewer: Andrea Sears AndrewsBook Details
