UFOs : Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record
Why people recommend it
UFOs : Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record by Leslie Kean and Heather Henderson is a thorough investigation into unidentified flying object phenomena utilizing reports and testimonies from authoritative sources. Michael Shermer discussed Leslie Kean's book on The Joe Rogan Experience during episode 1888, which aired on June 27, 2024, noting that he examined the text to highlight statistics regarding UFO sightings that ultimately possess normal, earthly explanations. Later, Ezra Klein brought up the publication on an episode of The Ezra Klein Show titled What the Heck Is Going on With These U.F.O. Stories?, broadcast on June 20, 2023. During the conversation, Klein pointed out to guest Leslie Kean that she authored the 2010 work covering documentation from pilots and government officials, and he noted that John Podesta, the former White House Chief of Staff, wrote the foreword for the book. Both podcasters engaged with the text to explore the serious institutional and empirical dimensions surrounding mainstream discussions of unidentified aerial phenomena and government transparency over the decades.
