Synopsis

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 F16s to attempt a closer look. Hundreds of eyewitnesses, including onduty 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 Administrations Accidents and Investigations Division reveals the agencys response to a thirtyminute 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 highlevel 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 ten years studying the still unexplained UFO phenomenon. Kean reviewed hundreds of government documents, aviation reports, radar data, 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 objectsmetallic, luminous, and seemingly able to maneuver in ways that defy the laws of physicsactually exist.

Goodreads review by Natalie

I loved it! Fascinating and very well written. The author is able to suck you right in her book, weather you are pro or contra theses "stories". She does never try to convince you of any thing, just lists the facts, that she obviously took some time and effort to gather together, with unemotional an......more

Goodreads review by Jim

UFOs: GENERALS, PILOTS, AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS GO ON THE RECORD is very good for what it sets out to do. Whether or not that goal was what the Reader wanted may be a different story. I generally enjoyed it overall, although it is repetitive from time to time (especially in reiterating its message)......more

Goodreads review by Michael

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.......more

Goodreads review by Kevin

Very well organized and interesting book on unexplained aerial phenomena and some personal accounts from highly credible sources. A lot to take away from the read full of so much information, the case studies used were all very good. A bit long-winded at points, but I enjoyed the investigative journ......more

Goodreads review by Hunter

A thorough, investigative approach to key UFO case files. It's nice to see a professional with bonafide writing credentials take on the subject with an even handed approach. Some very well known cases are spotlighted, so for UFO buffs, you may not learn anything new, but the way the facts are laid b......more
