An Air Force major is ordered to approach a brilliant UFO in his Phantom jet over Tehran. He repeatedly attempts to engage and fire on unusual objects heading right toward his aircraft, but his missile control is locked and disabled. Witnessed from the ground, this dogfight becomes the subject of a secret report by the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency.

In Belgium, an Air Force colonel investigates a series of widespread sightings of unidentified triangular objects, sending F-16s to attempt a closer look. Hundreds of eyewitnesses, including on-duty police officers, file reports about the incident, and a spectacular photograph of an unidentifiable craft is retrieved and analyzed.

Here at home, a retired chief of the Federal Aviation Administration’s Accidents and Investigations Division reveals the agency’s response to a 30-minute encounter between an aircraft and a gigantic UFO over Alaska, which occurred during his watch and is documented on radar.

Now all three of these distinguished men have written breathtaking, firsthand accounts about these extraordinary incidents. They are joined by Air Force generals and a host of high-level sources who have agreed to write their own detailed, personal stories about UFO encounters and investigations for the first time.

They are coming forward now because of Leslie Kean, an investigative reporter who has spent the last 10 years studying the still unexplained UFO phenomenon. Kean reviewed hundreds of government documents, aviation reports, radar data files, and case studies with corroborating physical evidence. With the support of former White House Chief of Staff John Podesta, Kean draws on her research to separate fact from fiction and to lift the veil on decades of U.S. government misinformation. Throughout, she presents irrefutable evidence that unknown flying objects - metallic, luminous, and seemingly able to maneuver in ways that defy the laws of physics - actually exist.

Any additional comments?

This book is SO well researched and executed that it is hard to believe it was the undertaking of a single person. As far as books on the subject of UFOs go, I rank it up there with books such as J. Allen Hynek's "The UFO Experience" as well as "UFOs and Government: A Historical Inquiry".

Much of the book is testimonials from extremely reputable people and high ranking officials regarding the secrets the government is hiding. If these facts are indeed true, this is one of the most important pieces of research to humanity EVER compiled.

This book is truly a mind-blowing experience.

9.3 / 10.0

One of the Best Books on UFOs That Is Out There

The material is Amazing! It is backed up with facts that can not be ignored, You will never look at the UFO phenomenon the same way again.

Leslie Kean will change your thinking....

This audible book had interesting content and seemed to be the result of many hours of dedicated work. Although right from the start, the narrator started to put me to sleep. I never realized the value of the narrator until this book. To add to the challenge, the writer dragged out the stories and seemed to repeat facts throughout the book. Overall, the interesting subject kept me tuned in and I recommend it if you are prepared for a legal brief.

Fascinating Content - Poor Delivery

Really enjoyed listening to all of the evidence but it seemed to me to have too much filler. Still, a decent book.

Really good evidence but kind of dry at times

Unlike our governments’ ongoing response to the UFO phenomenon this book is measured and thoughtful in its review of case history and analysis of our ineffective approach to the topic. The book, at this time, is a little dated and my great hope is the officials maybe slowly creeping toward more rational and scientific management of the UFOs through programs like ATIP and gradual disclosure of evidence. This book’s tone may have laid the groundwork for a new age of research.

Compelling and meticulous..don’t understand how anyone could be bored! I

Content is 5 star, narration is 2 stars at best. UAPs are real folks! Leslie Kean is one of the best journalists working on this subject today. Good listen for a 10 year old book.

Needs better reader

The content is very important but it could have been told in half the time. There’s MUCH unnecessary repetition.

Good,but

I finished the entire book and I have to say that while I was initially impressed, I was ultimately disappointed. This topic cries out for a scientific approach, but this book isn't quite it.

The best part of the book is written by people other than the author. It is wonderful that these people have been willing to go on record and they often compelling.

However, the author herself is just a bit credulous. Yes, she avoids the nuttier stuff. Yet she also avoids perfectly reasonable alternative explanations for some of the incidents she describes. A picture from Belgium that she repeatedly mentions is a hoax. The incidents at Roswell and Rendlesham Forest in England have also been satisfactorily explained, but she never mentions this. In the end, what we are left with is that pilots and others keep on seeing things that can't yet be explained. The author claims to be agnostic about the origins of these objects, but it is obvious that she buys into the extraterrestrial hypothesis.

There have also been a lot of developments since this book came out. Since the author continues to be active, she really should produce an update that corrects mistakes in this book and covers the recent developments in a more critical manner.

Good material but ultimately not what is promised

I disagree with the first reviewer, but it may be based on that reviewer's ongoing level of interest. I am interested in the subject from all the way back in my pre-teen years, but don't read every bit of new literature. So for me the book was very informative and well written.

On the negative side, I had to work to keep my attention on the audiobook. I found myself being put to sleep by the narration. That aside, I'd still recommend.

Good content, didn't care for narration

Like many people, I have an interest in UFOs, SETI etc. but have steered clear of books on the subject for many years because because most exhibit the less-than-objective hallmarks of authors who have clearly 'swallowed the red pill' (to quote the Matrix) and surrendered their credibility to the world of conspiracy theorists.

Kean's refreshing work documents several incidents that aren't widely known and, most interesting to me, discusses the surprisingly extensive investigations that nations other than the U.S. have conducted into various sightings. Her sources are, for the most part, identified by name and possess good credentials; much of the book is actually their verbatim testimonials rather than Kean's editorial. Most reports and discussion were precise and specific, with counter arguments considered and rebutted.

I don't think that every argument was rock solid but, generally speaking, the quality was far better than any other book or documentary that I'm aware of. As a military pilot, I can say that she does a pretty good job of representing the technical aspects of many reports, though she does seem to be rather easily impressed by the "Top Secret" security clearance credentials that at least one of her interviewees possessed (these clearances are so common as to be almost taken for granted among Air Force pilots and in certain other military career fields as well).

I'm not going to completely revise my worldview based on this book, but I would say that it re-opened my eyes to the subject of UFOs to the point that I'll at least critically evaluate such reports rather than casually dismissing them as conspiracy babble.

Regarding the narration: rather than the simple expedient of using two narrators, a female and a male, to read the author's discussion and the eyewitness reports respectively, the producers employed a single, relatively monotone female voice. As a result, it's often quite difficult to distinguish between the author's discussion and the eyewitness narratives, to the point that it actually does detract from one's comprehension of the book.
