This title is meant for ages 9-12. Young people love the mystery that accompanies believing in Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). To children, the world of the unknown is often much more exciting than the world they know. Yet in their early search for the truth, it's important for young people to know that the vast majority of historical cases of UFOs have been scientifically explained and are not so mysterious after all. In terms that are easy to understand, Klass explains how UFO reports are investigated and explained rationally, the role of the media, and how some people easily become confused by what they believe to be 'extraterrestrial crafts'. Filled with many humorous illustrations and cartoons, "Bringing UFOs Down to Earth" emphasises a healthy scepticism, critical thinking, and independent problem-solving as the best defence against unfounded and extraordinary claims.
