Why this book:
On a bit of a kick here. Ended up with 5 or 6 alien-centric books on my pull list at the library at the same time. A couple of them Children's lit, but I’m not a snob. I’ll read a good children’s book on occasion.
_________________
Favorite Scene:
The scenes are presented in nice bite sized chunks.

Hmm Moments:
Definitely not a theo-centric book, since it didn’t shy away from the idea that angels and flying chariots in the Bible may have been aliens. Wins points with me for that.

Hmmm, I wonder when the first hot air balloons crossed the United States. Possible that some of the Wild West UFO reports were hot air balloons.

The story of the Hills always gives me pause. Considering society at the time, they were not going to go out of their way to draw attention to themselves, even in New England.

Calling the Ball:
Congdon was a plant. His purpose was to the public facing official investigation of UFOs and possible alien connections behind closed doors that wouldn’t be opened, even a little, for decades.


Logic Gaps:
Listed as a FACT:...but it’s not. Refers to NASA’s Kepler craft as going near to stars to scan for life.
