Did you know that there have been UFO sightings in the Yukon and
the Northwest Territories? Books on the paranormal are often
popular items with all age groups at public libraries across the
country. While many books on the topic deal with UFOs from an
American or international perspective, The Canadian UFO Report: The
Best Cases Revealed provides background into the popular history of
UFOs in Canada. Chris Rutkowski and Geoff Dittman's book provides
Canadian content in an area where current Canadian perspectives can
often be hard to find. The book is grouped chronologically into
sections, beginning with The Early Years, which includes pre-20th
century sightings and the early decades of the 20th century. It is
followed by the Exciting Decades, which details the early
post-World War II era until the late 1950s. The Sixties and The
Seventies cover significant UFO sightings during these decades,
including the Nova Scotia UFO crash, the Landing on Allumette
Island and the 1973 Invasion of Quebec. The Transition Years brings
in material from the 1980s, such as reports of the notorious Men in
Black who use intimidation to guarantee the silence of those who
have observed UFO phenomena. Towards the Millennium includes
incidents from the 1990s, among which is the Carp Case that sparked
investigations in both Canada and the United States. ... And Beyond
deals with the early years of the new millennium, with coverage
ending in 2004. The final section of the book provides an overview
of UFOs in Canadian culture, including a fascinating table of UFO
sightings reported in Canada from 1989 to 2004 which suggests that
the number of sightings is increasing. The book includes a small
number of black and white photographs of sites and materials
relating to UFO cases from the 1970s onward. While not specifically
marketed as a young adult book, The Canadian UFO Report will pique
the interest of many teen readers, making it a useful addition to a
public or school library collection.
