Bringing Ufos Down to Earth (Young Readers (New York, N.Y.).) Paperback – July 1, 1997

by Philip J. Klass (Author)
5.0 out of 5 stars (2)
Pioneer investigator of UFO claims urges young readers to think before believing that aliens have landed.

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.

Bringing UFOs Down to Earth by Philip J. Klass, the "Sherlock Holmes of UFOlogy," is a fun book for youngsters, ages 9 and up, offering UFO facts every kid should know. 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 emphasizes a healthy skepticism, critical thinking, and independent problem-solving as the best defense against unfounded and extraordinary claims.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Most useful I've seen
    Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2000
    Format: Paperback
    I used this book as a supplement to a UFO story in a reading textbook in a sixth grade class. The author's specific examples and explanations of UFO phenomena are concrete enough that an eleven-year-old can understand them--and enjoy the discovery of reasonable explanations, as my sixth graders did. I think a number of my students now understand that we don't have to swallow bizarre stories; we can analyze them and consider common-sense explanations. What an empowering small book!

    ...in little green men and conspiracy theories, this book isn't for you. If you are looking for scientific information, this is a great book!
