UFO Change Agent: Leslie Kean on Breaking the Biggest Story Ever

In this episode I interview legendary author and journalist Leslie Kean on her 25-year journey as a UFO journalist, beginning with her groundbreaking 2000 Boston Globe article on the French COMETA report, which sparked her career shift from traditional journalism to covering UFO phenomena. We examine Kean’s careful approach to reporting, maintaining credibility through rigorous fact-checking and avoiding sensationalism, which has helped her build trust with both mainstream media and skeptical audiences. The conversation covers the breadth of the UFO subject, from physical craft in the sky to the downstream impacts on consciousness.Kean also shares her experiences with physical medium Stuart Alexander, including witnessing firsthand the manifestation of a large, warm hand during seances, and explained the scientific limitations and safety precautions involved in such demonstrations. We further explore how Kean’s Buddhist background influenced her perspective on consciousness and the UFO phenomenon, and we dissect the evolving relationship between Kean and the New York Times.That paper’s coverage of UFOs shifted after Kean’s 2017 and 2019 articles, with Kean noting that more recent stories have been placed in the Arts section rather than News.Finally, we discuss the political status of efforts to achieve disclosure, upcoming developments in the field, and even a new play of Kean’s — yes, on UFOs — now in development.To buy "UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go On the Record:"https://a.co/d/9kZaIc2To buy "Surviving Death:"https://a.co/d/9AsM8zg—--------------------------------------------Music Credits:Music: Cinematic Logo 04 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/8221-cinematic-logo-04Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseMusic: Technology Calm Logo 01 by TaigaSoundProdFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/6660-technology-calm-logo-01Licensed under CC BY 4.0: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license---Please don’t forget to like and subscribe.
