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, and he sends F-16s to attempt a closer look. Many hundreds of eyewitnesses, including on-duty police officers, file reports, and a spectacular photograph of an unidentifiable craft is retrieved and analyzed. Here at home, a retired chief of the FAA’s Accidents and Investigations Division reveals the agency’s response to a thirty-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—including Fife Symington III, former governor of Arizona, and Nick Pope, former head of the British Defence Ministry’s UFO Investigative Unit—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. She carefully examined scientifically analyzed photographs and interviewed dozens of high-level officials and aviation witnesses from around the world. 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. No one yet knows what these objects are, even though they affect aviation safety and possibly national security. The phenomenon has been officially acknowledged by numerous foreign governments. For these reasons and many others, Kean concludes that the UFO problem must be more widely recognized and ultimately solved through an unbiased scientific investigation. The material presented throughout this landmark book is sobering, unflinching, and undeniably awe-inspiring, and moves us toward a goal of properly addressing this worldwide mystery.

“While exploring the evidence for an afterlife, I witnessed some unbelievable things that are not supposed to be possible in our material world. Yet they were unavoidably and undeniably real. Despite my initial doubt, I came to realize that there are still aspects of Nature which are neither understood or accepted, even though their reality has profound implications for understanding the true breadth of the human psyche and its possible continuity after death.” So begins Leslie Kean’s impeccably researched, page-turning investigation, revealing stunning and wide-ranging evidence suggesting that consciousness survives death. In her groundbreaking second book, she continues her examination of unexplained phenomena that began with her provocative New York Times bestseller UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record. Kean explores the most compelling case studies of young children reporting verifiable details from past lives, contemporary mediums who seem to defy the boundaries of the brain and of the physical world, apparitions providing information about their lives on earth, and people who die and then come back to report journeys into another dimension. Based on facts and scientific studies, Surviving Death includes fascinating chapters by medical doctors, psychiatrists, and PhDs from four countries. As a seasoned journalist whose work transcends belief systems and ideology, Kean enriches the narrative by including her own unexpected, confounding experiences encountered while she probed the question concerning all of us: Do we survive death?

Burma's Revolution of the Spirit reveals through words and images a land of rare grandeur--where a dramatic battle for democracy is being waged.Nestled beneath the far-eastern end of the Himalayas lies an enchanted place, whose cities bear the legendary names "Mandalay" and "Rangoon"; where the ancient landscape shimmers with thousands upon thousands of gilded Buddhist shrines set against the glowing background of saffron rice paddies. Deemed "the golden land" by European explorers in the fifteenth century and "the pearl of Asia" by Rudyard Kipling, geographically remote Burma--"sister country" of neighboring Tibet--has for the most part miraculously defied the influences of the modern world.Burma's Revolution of the Spirit takes us behind the complex veil that shields from Western eyes this most fascinating and culturally diverse, yet least documented country in Southeast Asia. It demonstrates all too clearly the nation's political isolation by a military dictatorship, which has virtually sowed salt in Burma's fertile earth for thirty years and which responded to a nonviolent popular demonstration on August 8, 1988, with an unconscionably brutal assault inviting comparison with Tiananmen Square.Above all, Burma's Revolution of the Spirit depicts a people's hunger to be free despite the cruelest suppression--and presents a true national heroine: Aung San Suu Kyi, awarded the 1991 Novel Peace Prize in absentia while under house arrest and still held prisoner in her own land. In this dynamic woman's exquisite features, in scenes of pastoral serenity and impassioned protest, we glimpse the soul of one of the most politically ravaged yet spiritually vibrant societies on earth.Filled with striking documentary images in both black and white and color (many of which were smuggled out of the country), the book is enriched by the words of Aung San Suu Kyi, whose profound inspirational powers evoke those of such gentle modern warriors a Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, and the Dalai Lama. Tributes from seven Nobel Peace laureates are also included. Burma's Revolution of the Spirit conveys in affecting narrative its message of justice and respect for all life.

El tema de los avistajes de Objetos Voladores No Identificados, siempre ha dado lugar a un sinfin de controversias y a la proliferacion de teorias conspiratorias de toda indole. Muchas de ellas inspiradas en el hecho de que los principales gobiernos del mundo siempre han mantenido un sigilo sospechoso al respecto, mucho secretismo y gran cantidad de informacion para distraer la atencion sobre algunos episodios. Para realizar este libro, Leslie Kean ha pasado diez anos leyendo informacion confidencial desclasificada, y ha entrevistados a pilotos, generales y funcionarios gubernamentales con participacion en distintos niveles en relacion al fenomeno OVNI, y ha llegado a la conclusion de que hay pruebas de que existen objetos y episodios inexplicables que no han podido ser investigados debidamente y que requieren de un trabajo cientifico sin ideas preconcebidas ni prejuicios. / Leslie Kean, an investigative reporter who spent a decade studying the UFO phenomenon, has reviewed hundreds of government documents, aviation reports, and radar case studies, corroborating physical evidence of encounters and investigations from first hand accounts about the incidents.
