Reading with Sandra Bayer

Sandra Bayer, born in 1987, works as a freelance illustrator and designer for various publishers, organizations, and companies. In her visual world, she enjoys exploring fantastical creatures, bizarre encounters of the third kind, and a diverse cosmos of animals and people. Sandra Bayer lives in Reichenau.

“Galactically Secret Alien Secrets”

During their visit to the planetarium, Lola and her dog Gurki spot something strange through the telescope: Was that a UFO that just flew by? Of course, claims the very human ufologist who suddenly appears beside them, presenting a wealth of supposed evidence and arguments for the existence of aliens.

Astronomer Yelda counters with scientific explanations and gives Lola and Gurki real insights into the current state of her research.
