✦ Synopsis

Do wildmen roam the mountains of China? Does a puma stalk the leafy
lanes of Surrey? Did two girls from Yorkshire really photograph fairies
at play? What can explain the extraordinary reports of people who
suddenly catch fire and are consumed by flames while their surroundings -
even in some cases their clothing - remain virtually untouched? Did
Chinese explorers reach the coast of California centuries before
Columbus? Does a vast octopus, strong enough to tow a trawler lurk on
the seabed off Bermuda? Did four British holiday makers spend a night in
a phantom hotel in France?

These are just a few of the mysteries which Arthur C. Clarke has added
to his famous files since his two acclaimed television series, Mysterious World and World of Strange Powers,
and their accompanying best-selling books, caught the imagination of
audiences throughout the world.

In this book, Clarke analyzes these fresh mysteries, presented by John
Fairley and Simon Welfare, with characteristic authority and wit,
without ever losing the sense of the marvelous that has led him to
write: The Universe is such a strange and wonderful place that reality
will always outrun the wildest imagination; there will always be things
unknown, and perhaps unknowable.

John Fairley and Simon Welfare also provide surprising new evidence
which casts light on some of the mysteries which have fascinated readers
of the two earlier books in this series, including the Loch Ness
Monster, falls of fish and frogs, ghost photographs and the hunt for
the supposedly extinct Tasmanian tiger. Finally, in a thought-provoking
essay, Arthur C. Clarke, in the style that made him probably the worlds
best selling author of science fact and fiction, offers his answer to
the question most asked of him: Are we being watched by aliens from
Outer Space?
