This book was so much fun!! Science journalist Becky Ferreira approaches the topic of alien life and humankind’s enduring obsession with it in a way that is balanced, deeply informative and genuinely entertaining. It’s not set out to sway your opinion one way or the other, but rather lays out the facts, theories and their cultural influences, covering a vast timeline of recorded human history. It’s really accessible, and a great read for anyone who wants to dive into the strange and fascinating subject of alleged alien encounters, UFO/UAP sightings and the ongoing scientific search for answers without slipping into the sensational.
