1st printing. Are we surrounded by aliens? Every year hundreds of people from around the globe report "alien encounters". Most tell of alien spacemen - bizarre UFO inhabitants who seem more intent on sexually and medically abusing individual humans than being taken to our leaders - yet there are many other types of non-human encounters. Among them: the West Virginia Mothman, the Tibetan Yeti and Canadian Bigfoot, the Australian Bunyip and the Caribbean Goatsucker - weird, man-like creatures which are clearly non-human. Do lost breeds of subhumans roam Earth's unfrequented wildernesses? Were our first civilizations created by beings from another planet and did they leave us a sign in the gigantic "Face on Mars"? Do records of Victorian sightings hint at ethereal beings who can transform themselves into whatever shape their audience expects? This fascinating book looks at both terrestrial and extraterrestrial sightings and asks...is mankind really alone? Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 170 pages, Text (with B&W Photos). Cover price $5.95.
