Leslie Kean

Investigative journalist + co-author of the NYT piece (17 Dec 2017) + author of 'UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record' (2010, NYT bestseller)

Biography

She co-wrote the New York Times report of December 2017 that changed the public conversation on the topic in the United States. Her 2010 book already anticipated that agenda, with verifiable testimonies from military pilots and former officials and without sensationalist language. She was a key piece in the shift from the term 'UFO' to 'anomalous phenomenon' tied to national security.
