"At last, a serious and thoughtful book about this controversial
subject. Skeptics and true believers will find a treasure trove of
insightful and eye opening information. This book is bound to set
the gold standard for UFO
research."
—Michio Kaku, Ph.D. Author of Physics of the Impossible and
host of Sci Fi Science on the Science Channel
“I was astonished by the care and precision of Leslie Kean’s
research in this terrific book. Her analysis is carefully
reasoned and to the point; her craftsmanship in organization and
writing are superb. Her expose' raises important
questions: Why does the US government create public distrust by
neglecting this important topic? Why do its agencies avoid
investigating cases of interference with flight operations and
instead issue absurd cover-up stories? This book is
ultimately an appeal to all scholars for an "extraordinary
investigation of an extraordinary phenomenon.”
—Rudy Schild, Ph.D., Harvard-Smithsonian Center for
Astrophysics
“Like me, Leslie Kean is an agnostic on the issue of UFOs.
Her book is a fine piece of journalism - not about beliefs, but
about facts. Kean presents the most accurate, most credible
reports on UFO's you will ever find. She has fought long and
hard to discover the facts and let the chips fall where they
may. She may not have the final smoking gun, but I smell the
gunpowder.”
—Miles O'Brien, former CNN space/science correspondent
“I find explanations offered by UFO enthusiasts and conspiracy
theorists to be implausible, but I also have little patience with
"deniers" who ridicule credible reports. Leslie Kean has
found a thoughtful path between extreme views, documenting the UFO
mystery with intelligence and insight. She makes a strong case for
U.S. participation in official, international UFO investigations
and for public dissemination of the results. The
fascinating first-hand accounts make this a thought-provoking book,
even for those of us who don’t know much about UFOs.”
—Neal Lane, Ph.D., Rice University; former Director of the White
House Office of Science and Technology Policy
“If you don't know much about UFOs, you must read this book. If you
think that UFO reports are nonsense, this book will disabuse
you of that notion. Leslie Kean's UFOs informs readers at every
level of knowledge and belief. It could, and should, become
the "tipping point" that leads to public acceptance of the
reality of UFOs and all of its implications.”
—Don Donderi, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, McGill University
(Ret.)
“In an area of study where there aren’t many, this is a serious
book. It is credible, clear, and compelling, without any
farfetched jumps in logic and assumption. Its credibility
begins on the first page with John Podesta and continues with case
studies of extraordinary quality to the very end. Leslie Kean
not only makes the case for, but calls for, a whole new concrete
and realistic perspective on UFOs that has more honesty and
integrity than any other that I have read. This is a book for
anyone with an open mind.”
—John L. Petersen, Founder & President of The Arlington
Institute
“In these pages we are confronted head-on by the UFO phenomenon as
revealed firsthand by highly credible government officials and
military aviation experts. Their credibility and integrity cannot
be questioned, and their firsthand observations cannot be
ignored. Leslie Kean provides a challenging analysis and
she writes with penetrating depth and insight. The revelations in
this book constitute a watershed event in lifting the taboo against
rational discourse about this controversial subject.”
—Harold E. Puthoff, Ph.D., Director of The Institute for Advanced
Studies at Austin
“When I started reading Leslie Kean’s UFOs, I found it very
difficult to stop. This is an unprecedented assessment of what may
be the greatest challenge ever presented to mankind. In an
outstanding piece of investigative journalism, Kean provides a
well-written and convincing appeal for change in dealing with a
phenomenon that can no longer be ignored.”
—Jean-Claude Ribes, Ph.D., Paris Observatory (Ret.)
“For anyone who questions why - after more than fifty years
of denial, ridicule, and dismissal - many scientists, academics,
political figures, and military personnel still insist that the
subject of UFOs should be taken seriously, this book provides the
answer. Leslie Kean offers compelling documentation that
physical objects, with flight characteristics not yet achievable by
known technology, are being routinely reported in our skies.
They represent a mystery that needs to be solved.”
—Stuart Appelle, Ph.D., Dean of the School of Science and
Mathematics, State University of New York, Brockport
"Leslie Kean’s astonishing book is the finest piece of
investigative journalism ever written on this subject. She
has an incomparable ability to ‘give voice’ to a constituency of
exceptionally qualified and unbiased first-hand observers. They are
not from the fringe, not groupies, and not delusional.
Rather, they are high-level military, intelligence,
aerospace, and government officials who speak with authority while
providing reports that document actual, physical craft. Kean’s book
represents the first important step toward a new U.S. government
openness about UFOs. It brings forward a reality otherwise
buried for far too long inside official mystery, and elevates the
discourse above that of small-minded public discussions."
—Christopher C. Green, MD, Ph.D., Harper University Hospital,
Wayne State University School of Medicine
