The Unexplained: UFOs by Adam Allsuch Boardman
Whether it's eerie lights in the sky, impossibly fast aircraft or the secrets surrounding Area 51, UFOs have fascinated people for decades. Mysterious flying objects, alien sightings and strange encounters have kept the world guessing one big question. Are aliens real?
Because children's fascination with aliens never wanes, this heavily illustrated guide to UFO sightings will be an instant hitIts sleek, digital design channels a retro aesthetic with a limited color palette, geometric forms, and stylized fonts. Beginning with ancient civilizations and the panic of the War of the Worlds 1938 radio broadcast, double-page spreads highlight key topics and theories chronologically. Information is presented by decade once the 1940s arrive, as this marks the modern history of UFOs, with such events as the first sighting of a "flying saucer" and the Roswell incident. Within each section, information is further chunked into short, digestible parts with complementary illustrations and infographics. As young readers travel through this time line, they'll encounter men in black, Area 51, crop circles, myriad UFO experiences, organizations that study these phenomena, government responses, and more unusual activities. Throughout the fun, the author also makes it clear that some conspiracy theories, such as ancient aliens, are damaging to historic human cultures. A visually appealing selection for curious minds and budding ufologists. -- Angela Leeper * Booklist *
