New York Times columnist Ezra Klein interviewed Leslie Kean ’73, an investigative journalist and the author of UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record, on his podcast The Ezra Klein Show. Since 1999, Kean’s reporting has delved into the topic of UFOs or unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP) and most recently she broke the story of United States Air Force officer, former intelligence official, and whistle-blower David Grusch who claims the US government is covertly in possession of “intact and partially intact vehicles” of nonhuman origin. Kean discusses the implications of the story, her decades of reporting on the beat, and how Congress is responding to Grusch’s testimony.
For Kean, Grusch’s claims follow the accumulation of years of conversations she’s had with other highly regarded sources with top security clearances telling her essentially the same thing: the government is harboring objects which are not of human origin. “I’m willing to put it out as a story. I think the point of it is that Congress needs to investigate and find out if what he is saying is true or not, and I think it’s up to Congress to take the next step," said Kean.
