Gr 1-0 Up These dense accounts all emphasize the ways government, military, and science fields ignore or destroy evidence of long-standing activity of extraterrestrial beings on Earth. The broadest look at truth suppression, Top Secret Government Archives , explores how individuals "secreted within the highest echelons of government" have expunged material on many events and individuals often considered infamous, including the 1947 UFO crash at Roswell, NM. The books draw on copious writings, opinions, and extensive interviews with individuals who have personally interacted with aliens. The discussion of the disclosure movement among ufologists hypothesizes numerous ways history and society might be changed if the information were all made public. The layout may put off readers: few black-and-white photos break up the long blocks of text. The glossaries and some items in the lengthy bibliographies are the only real young adult material here. VERDICT There's worthwhile information, but it's likely that only very committed adults will slog through the reading.

Ancient civilizations generated many innovations that are difficult to explain, such as the remarkable mathematical accuracy of the pyramids of Giza, the man-made fertile soil of the Amazon known as terra preta, and massive stone monuments too heavy to move in Peru and Lebanon, among other places. Given that modern science cannot explain these mysterious phenomena, one theory holds that ancient aliens were responsible for them. This volume examines the credibility of various paranormal hypotheses, giving readers the opportunity to explore the greatest puzzles of antiquity.
