Mostly a scattershot series of instances of "high weirdness" like Bigfoot, Nessie, the Mothman, the Chupacabra, and various flavors of alien. Maybe somewhat saved by a tongue in cheek attitude and a plethora of different illustrators. Still, if you're even a little big versed in the field, the book hits all the obvious notes. The ones I actually expected to find but weren't included were Betty and Barney Hill and Whitley Strieber.
The book came out a long while ago, which makes some of the assertations comically outdated. Stuff like the face on Mars that turned out to be a photography artifact and the world allegedly ending with the Mayan long count calendar at 2012.
If you've got a little kid interested in an introduction, this would be perfect.

Check out my review of this nostalgic comic and others in the Factoid Books series on my Booklikes article, Big Book of Factoids! 100% true, maybe not, but 100% '90s definitely!
