UFOs Aliens The Complete Guidebook Author:Lochlainn Seabrook Written for 12-year olds and up, UFOS & Aliens is a unique non-fiction book that's packed with everything a child will ever want to know about ETs and their out-of-this-world spacecraft. The author, Lochlainn Seabrook, a former teacher's aid and tour guide, knows how to appeal to youngsters by making learning both fun and educational. — Mo... more »ving briskly through the various aspects of ufology, he touches on such topics as the history of UFOs, detailed descriptions of aliens and their vehicles, alien abduction, cattle mutilations, mystery helicopters, crop circles, MIBs, skeptics, and the worldwide cover-up of UFOs. He also provides concrete evidence that UFOs are real, a UFO sighting report form, and lists of suggested books, Websites, DVDs, clubs, and conferences, as well as a chapter that teaches children how to become UFO watchers and even ufologists. Included are over 190 photos and illustrations and 37 authentic casebook studies.
If you or your child are looking for something on UFOs that explains them away as weather balloons, space debris, birds, meteors, or secret experimental aircraft, then this is not the book for you. Having had his own UFO sightings, Seabrook respects his topic, writing with the enthusiasm and open-mindedness of a true believer rather than with the negativity and bias of a debunker.
Still, his approach is essentially scientifically provisional, a refreshing position that only adds to the academic value of this enjoyable and intriguing work. A complete guidebook in every sense of the word, Seabrook's UFOs & Aliens is a must-have for every child (and adult) who's interested in the UFO phenomenon.
Foreword by Nick Pope, the "Real Fox Mulder," best-selling author of "Open Skies, Closed Minds," and head of the British government's UFO Project 1991-1994. Also includes positive reviews by UFO experts Dr. Bruce Maccabee, Timothy Good, Dr. Stanton Friedman, and John Schuessler (International Director of MUFON).« less
