Review
Alien abductions. UFO landings. Extra-terrestrial intelligence. If you have the slightest interest in these (and other weird and wonderful phenomena in the same vein), Alan Baker's is a book that will keep you up well into the wee small hours. In the five decades since the first recorded sighting of UFOs, there have been thousands of similar reports, and despite umpteen government denials, interest in such phenomena remains high. Needless to say, the library of books on such things could stretch from here to Roswell, and anybody who's ever read a few will know that they vary from the dotty and badly written to the well researched and intelligent. Baker's book is definitely among the latter, and the encyclopaedia format makes it wonderfully entertaining to dip into at random. We can look up 'Photographs of Aliens', which details both the inexplicable and convincing along with the outright frauds (not to mention the famous alien autopsy footage that had so many people convinced - that's here under 'Roswell Autopsy Footage.' (Baker takes an even-handed view, and is upset by the speed with which the examiners pulled out the creatures' jet-black contact lenses without worrying about damaging their eyes). And how about 'Insectoids'? Abductees often described their alien captors as being like insects, with large eyes, quick, efficient movements and hive-like behaviour. Of course, Baker is equally good on all the government attempts to tell us that there is nothing out there - but we've all watched the X-Files, so we know where to shove that line. Read Baker's fascinating book - and make up your own mind. (Kirkus UK)
