Great summing up of everything that is interesting in connexion with UFOs: early and historic encounters, the age of flying saucers (1947-1970), the question what crashed at Roswell in 1947, the eerie men in black, encounters around the world, official investigations, the abductions boom (1970-1980), crop circles, the face on Mars, alien encounters (1990-2000), the notorious alien autopsy in the early 1990s and what you should do when you see an UFO. Great photos, illustrations and tables. Extremely fascinating read I can highly recommend!

I liked this a lot. It was kind of creepy about the 'men in black' and all. I think that this is a good book to read to yourself in the dark... IF YOU LIKE SCARED!
