"The absolutely true story of an epic lie. This is the official account of how Lansburg, Pennsylvania, was invaded by aliens and the weeks of chaos that followed. There were UFO sightings! Close encounters! And even abductions! There were believers, Truth Seekers, and above all, people who looked to the sky and hoped for more. Only... there were no aliens. Gideon Hofstadt knows what really happened. When one of his science experiments went wrong, he and his older brother blamed the resulting explosion on extraterrestrial activity. And their lie was not only believed by the town---it was embraced. As the brothers go to increasingly greater lengths to keep up the ruse and avoid getting caught, the hoax flourishes. But Gideon's obsession with their tale threatens his whole world. Can he find a way to banish the aliens before Lansburg, and his life, are changed forever?" --- Cover.
