Every year hundreds of people around the world report 'alien encounters'. Most tell of alien spacemen - bizarre UFO inhabitants who seem to be more intent on medically or sexually abusing individual humans than being taken to our leaders - yet there are many other types of encounters. Among them: The West Virginia Mothman, the Tibetian Yeti, the Canadian Bigfoot, the Australian Bunyip and the Caribbean Goatsucker - weird, humanoid creatures which are clearly NOT human. Do lost breeds of subhumans roam the Earth's wildernesses? Were our first civilisations created by beings from another planet and did they leave us a sign in the gigantic "Face on Mars"? Do records of Victorian-era sightings hint at ethereal beings who could transform themselves into whatever shape their audience expected? Is Mankind really alone?
