The Sighting - Softcover

The funeral of Jack's great-grandfather brings together a family split by a 50-year-old feud. But altogether feelings still run high. The cause of the bitterness is mysterious - as mysterious as the strange photograph of a UFO which Jack and his new-found cousin unearth. Could this be the cause of all the trouble? And does it really show an alien spacecraft? The exploration of the mystery raises as many questions as it answers but does help the family to understand the feud.
