(Young readers.) In the battle for the hearts and minds of the nation's youth, skeptic Phil Klass weighs in with this children's book. Klass urges young people: "If you or a friend should should chance to see something in the sky that seems strange, don't jump to the conclusion that you have seen an extraterrestrial craft." In text that is appropriate for children between 8 and 13, Klass recounts dozens of cases where people have mistaken meteors, military aircraft, birds, ball lightning, hoaxes and meteorological phenomena for UFOs. Black and white photos and cartoons illustrate various mistaken objects and how easily that can be seen as something extraterrestrial. As with the pro-alien children's book Ceto's New Friends, we carry this one mainly as a curiosity. We are not sure how children will take it, but adults may appreciate it as another strange icon of the UFO movement. Overpriced given its thin size. -- Glenn Campbell

The idea that we might have extraterrestrial (ET) visitors is very exciting, and TV programs, magazines, and newspapers would like you to believe that UFOs really are extraterrestrial spaceships. But do you know that facts? Have scientists found any hard evidence to prove that ETs have really landed?
Join Philip J. Klass, "the Sherlock Holmes of UFO studies," in his search for the true story behind UFO sightings. He uncovers many different explanations for the strange objects in the sky, and all of them are more interesting than anything you'll ever learn from TV. After reading Bringing UFOs Down to Earth you, too, will know what to look for when trying to identify the next "UFO" you, or a friend, see.
PHILIP J. KLASS has spent over twenty-five years investigating UFO reports. He is a former senior editor at Aviations Week & Space Technology magazine.
