Flights are immediately diverted into and out of Xiaoshan Airport in China as passengers and crew aboard multiple planes report flashes of otherworldly light from four unidentified objects.

How are all the cover-ups by the Chinese and Russian governments over UFO sightings related? James Tynion IV and Michael Avon Oeming follow up their acclaimed work on Blue Book with an all-new volume of “true” tales capturing the strange world of alien encounters—this time focusing on the uncanny extraterrestrial stories of Russia and China.
