Out there?

Grainy photographs, artists’ impressions, obvious fakes and palpable lies are all in UFO: The Complete Sightings Catalogue by Peter Brookesmith (Blandford, £10.99, ISBN 0 7137 2583 4), compiled and annotated by Peter Brookesmith. So are the more puzzling examples of apparent visitations. An engrossing book that may leave a tiny doubt, even though, after centuries of alleged UFO contacts, no solid evidence of them exists.
