Almanac of Alien Encounters by Eric Elfman and illustrated by AAER's own Jeff Westover shows a historical overview of alien encounters, from Archbishop Agobard of Lyons’s ninth-century encounter with the occupants of a cloudship through a January 2000 UFO sighting in Illinois. Includes both the skeptics’ and the true believers’ points of view.

The book is beautifully illustrated by Michigan artist Jeff Westover. Each illustration tells a story with compassion. The book has many charts, sidebars, and pencil sketches, along with a few photographs. Comparisons between typical alien encounters and folklore, brief descriptions of additional sightings, background information on assorted alien experts, and definitions of terms used in ufology, all add to the well-planned concept of the book.
