"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
