Explanation of Ratings
Credibility = Low: In general, this catagory is a rating of the author's intellectual discipline
and the strength of his argument (which are low), not the veracity of his claims (which could be true in spite of the weak argument).
Visual Information = High: Good photos for the price.
Silliness = Very High: High silliness isn't necessarily a bad thing. Such items often make
amusing gifts or may be interesting as cultural artifacts.

This book promises to teach you how to see UFOs yourself -- a dubious
claim. The advice is generally trite or silly ("A hilly area is always
the best vantage point for a skywatch."), but the book is
redeemed by the large number of high-quality UFO photographs
-- perhaps the best collection
you'll find at this price
(not claiming anything about their veracity).
About half of the book is a directory of "The Most Haunted UFO
Places in the World," with accompanying photos.

From the Book Cover
A UFO sighting occurs on this planet every three minutes.
If you have ever dreamed of making contact with a UFO -- or it
you think you may have seen 'something' but weren't sure -- this is
the book for you!
Packed with 100 revealing color and black-and-white photographs selected
by one of the world's leading UFO writers (many published here for the
first time), this handbook offers the fruit of 20 years of investigation
into thousands of UFO sightings by witnesses in every corner of the
world.
A UFO sighting can uccur anywhere.
With this manual you'll be able to
- understand what UFOs look like, what they can do, where and when
they appear
- know all the sighting "hotspots" around the world
- learn how you can see a UFO yourself
- compare your experience with the thousands that have been documented
by experts
- evaluate whether your sighting was a real UFO or one of the
countless fascinating identified flying objects possible.
Lavishly illustrated, this well-informed
manual on the greatest mystery of the modern age will prove
compelling reading for UFO watchers everywhere --
and will be your guide to the Close Encounter you've been searching
for.
