Strange and Unexplained Phenomena

This book is a fun overview of strange phenomena. It covers a wide range of topics such as UFOs, Bigfoot, fairies, bizarre rainfalls, crop circles, ghost lights and cattle mutilations. The book is logically divided up by types of phenomena. Chapter Titles give an idea of the topics covered: Chapter 1-UFOs: the Twentieth Century Mystery; Chapter 2-Ancient ETs and Their Calling Cards; Chapter 3-Unexpected Guests and Interplanetary Communications; Chapter 4-Other Worlds; Chapter 5-Government Cover-Ups; Chapter 6-Vanishing Acts; Chapter7-Light Shows; Chapter 8-Strange Showers: Everything but Cats and Dogs; Chapter 9-More Weird Weather; Chapter 10-Cryptozology; Chapter 11-Misplaced Animals; Chapter 12-Shaggy, Two-Footed Creatres in North America; Chapter 13-Shaggy, Two-footed Creatures Abroad; Chapter 14-Extinction Reconsidered; Chapter 15-Other Fantastic Creatures; Chapter 16-Monsters of the Deep; Chapter 17-Freshwater Monsters; Chapter 18-Folklore in the Flesh; Chapter 19-Other Strange Events. As you can probably deduce from a couple of the chapter titles, the book is written with a sense of humor about the phenomena it covers, but it does not belittle those who are reporting and experiencing the various phenomena. Each topic is briefly covered giving examples and references in case you'd like to read more about the subject. There are numerous sidebar biographies on people studying the particular phenomena. Black and white photos, illustrations, and very amusing cartoons illustrate each chapter. I enjoyed this book, and found it a fun and light read
