UFOs

One of the most important books I have ever read and would consider it essential reading to the public at large.

Leslie Kean presents an amazingly thorough series of interviews, personal accounts, and research regarding UFO's. She managed to interview numerous high level officials including generals and a US governor.

What I found most interesting were the various stories about a cigar like UFO or UAV if you want to use the rebranded term. The way these operated are exactly what the Navy pilot David Fravor and his fellow pilots claimed they chased. This is the initial story that led me down the UAV path.

Either the US has advanced tech they won't reveal and they've had it for over 80 years or it's not of this world.

This book wasn't what I expected. I've read other books about UFOs which always have a (conspiracy) theory about them that they push as fact. This book was different, the author was very articulate and well-researched and didn't push anything beyond eyewitness observations, mostly through interviews and letters. Some ideas of the origin of the phenomena were presented, but never pushed. This is top-notch reporting on the subject, presented clearly. The one thing I found, because it didn't push any answers, just a multitude of mysteries, that the book was more frightening and real than anything I've read.

The definitive work on a much maligned and ridiculed subject. Closes the case—whatever UFOs are, there's no denying they are real. The pilots, generals, and military officials provide firsthand, unimpeachable evidence that no debunker can refute. An instant classic.
