Alien Encounters
Since the middle of the last century, many people around the world have reported sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and speculated that they were alien spacecraft. Some witnesses have reported seeing nonhumans emerge from otherworldly craft and even having interactions with these intelligent beings. While most scientists believe these tales to be hallucinations or hoaxes, the sheer number of reports of alien encounters, the similarities between them, and the emotional impact they have had on witnesses make the phenomenon difficult to dismiss. Fans of the paranormal will enjoy delving into juicy, eyewitness tales from the United States and around the world. Assessing the evidence, readers can decide for themselves whether someone else is truly out there.

Series Review: Paranormal Files"Overall, Webb handles his subjects with aplomb. Though the titles focus largely on eye-witness accounts, they also provide contrasting opinions from scientists and others who make it their business to debunk legends and myths. Sidebars contain information and anecdotes that complement the main texts as well as entries that ask students to ponder the likelihood of supernatural places and creatures. ... the writing is engaging and the topics creepy and entertaining."

Book Review: Alien Encounters
"Stuart Webb ... tells of alien contacts and abductions in a smooth-flowing format that includes authentic photographs as well as artistic renditions of the creatures and/or objects that each sighting may have looked like. ... This book is well-written, it is organized clearly and the cases that are presented will entertain young readers."
