Features

28 UFOs Over China (cover story)
The People's Republic of China is firmly under the control of one of the world's most secretive regimes. But, says Chris Saunders, if the recent catalogue of strange events in the nation's media is anything to go by, some world-changing news could be about to emerge from the Far East...

34 No Mortal Maid Am I
A recent anime film tells the story of Kaguya, a princess from the Moon, exiled to Earth and raised by a peasant family. Bob Rickard explores the background to this ancient Japanese tale of extraterrestrial visitation.
