Leslie Kean will discuss her twenty-three years of research and mainstream reporting on UFOs, now called UAP (unidentified anomalous phenomena). Her effort has included numerous print stories, press conferences, documentaries, and a best-selling book as she battled a stigma that precluded government acknowledgment of the phenomenon. That all changed in 2017 when she co-authored a front-page New York Times story that was a catalyst for a series of unprecedented developments over the last six years — from the release of Navy videos to a UAP Task Force, new legislation, and three open Congressional hearings. The lecture will be followed by Q & A.
