Why read it?

3 authors picked UFOs as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Before Leslie Kean co-authored the 2017 New York Times article that brought the Pentagon’s secret UFO research program to the public and shared videos of unidentified aerial phenomena from Navy pilots, she wrote this book.

In it, you’ll find written accounts of UFO experiences from the type of people described in the book’s title. In other words, credible people worth listening to. I had the pleasure of interviewing Kean for my book, enabling me to share the behind-the-scenes of her remarkable UFO-based journalism.

Leslie Kean has been deemed one of the most reputable, competent, and thorough investigative journalists/reporters to interview and report on what a selection of important military, government, and other people have to say about the UFO phenomena. She is considered today to be one of the most thorough and respected investigators in the UFO field.

I firmly believe that Leslie Kean’s book is the straw that has broken the UFO “camel’s back!”

Here you have a world-class talent and supremely qualified journalist grabbing the UFO dilemma by the horns and forcing the subject of flying saucers right upon the public…

This book soberly presents a stunning collection of eyewitness testimonies by highly credible witnesses, as well as glimpses of government insider information about the decades-long campaign of suppression, ridicule, gaslighting, and overt hostility toward UFO experiencers and theorists alike. Published in 2010, this book played an instrumental role in beginning the gradual sea change in attitudes toward disclosure that continues to build today.
