Exciting news! We’re doing a giveaway to celebrate my new book, THE UFO FILES: Notes on an Alien Encounter. If you already preordered, don’t worry, you can use that order to enter.
Enter the giveaway!
EVERYONE who enters will get early access to two activity sheets. One activity challenges you to imagine and draw what you think might be aboard the UFO in the book. Send me your ideas, and I’ll publish some of them here on my Substack.
Another activity has you write your name in an alien alphabet, then find out what the alien “letters” mean.
Twelve winners will get this top secret UFO investigation kit, which includes a notebook, black-light pens for secret writing, and a “Ready for first contact” pin.
Fifty winners will get bookplate stickers personally signed by me. The investigation kits and stickers will be mailed out after the book launches on August 5, 2025.
If you know any families or educators who might be interested in this giveaway, please share the news.
Preorder The UFO Files
The UFO Files: Notes on an Alien Encounter by Kathryn Hulick and Weston Wei comes out August 5, 2025 with Quarto
The year is 2033. An alien spacecraft has arrived on Earth, and an investigator known only as Polaris has compiled this report into every aspect of the spaceship and the beings that built it. Piece by piece, uncover a thrilling narrative of courage and curiosity during this closest of encounters, while delving into the cutting-edge science and technology that help Polaris understand – and welcome – these visitors from a distant star system.
The UFO Files is not just a compelling sci-fi story or an engaging nonfiction tour of cutting-edge science and technology—it’s both at once! Above all, it is a celebration of scientific curiosity, tolerance and the awe that comes when we open our minds to the stars and wonder whether we are not alone.
