Publisher's Summary

An award-winning journalist investigates a story largely ignored by mainstream media but right there, in front of our eyes ...

Are we not alone? The moment we have an answer might have arrived.

Award-winning investigative journalist Ross Coulthart has been intrigued by UFOs since mysterious glowing lights were reported near New Zealand's Kaikoura mountains when he was a teenager. The 1978 sighting is just one of thousands since the 1940s, and yet research into UFOs is still seen by many as the realm of crackpots and conspiracy theorists.

In 2020, however, after decades of denial, the US Department of Defense made the astonishing admission that strange aerial and underwater objects frequently reported and videoed by pilots and tracked by sensors are real, unexplained and pose a genuine national security concern.

Compelled to investigate, Coulthart has embarked on the most intriguing story of his career, speaking to witnesses, researchers, scientists, spies, defence officials and intelligence insiders in an attempt to sift the truth from the conspiracy. In the US, powerful new laws and a hardening of government resolve may soon force the military and intelligence communities to reveal what they know about alleged UFO crash retrievals and secret reverse-engineering programs.

Bizarre, sometimes mind-blowing and utterly fascinating, in this new edition of In Plain Sight, Coulthart explains why there is cause for optimism that 'the biggest story ever' might finally be about to break.

Credible evidence on the UAP phenomenon

lots of interesting stories from a wide range of very credible witnesses - the only thing I didn’t like was the loud sound after each sentence of the author sharply inhaling air - so much so that I was tempted to edit the audio in garage band and remove all the inhaling sounds and then send the fixed version to the Ross, hopefully there’s a filter or something that could remove those frequencies automatically? Other than that it was a great book!

distracting

happy the author read his own book, it conveys better but that heavy breathing was distracting.

Mind blowing book!

Incredible research by Ross. So much more detail than the TV doco. It makes perfect sense that more advanced alien lifeforms would be here now observing us, we know they could have evolved several billion years ahead of us. We're like an ancient zoo for them to visit at weekends!

Couldn’t stop listening

Ross’ narration has the equivalent smoothness of wrapping your ears in silk and tenderly massaging them with old soft undies. Delivery sweeter than cheap cask wine caused me to resent interruptions like work getting in the way of my listening. The most coherent and gripping account I have heard to date on the state of play on the topic. A well sourced and credible piece of history.

Truly awesome book lots of information

Ross dives into the world of UFO/UAP's as a serious, award winning investigative journalist. I would have to say, this is the best book on the subject I've had the pleasure of reading, more so, as this come s from the point of view of a serious journalist who covers multiple cases of the phenomenon, as well as interviewing countless members of the military and intelligence sectors. He covers the recent history over the last few years, including tom Delong's role in forming to the Stars and the key players involved with this.
Wonderfully narrated, I could listen to Ross al day talk about the subject, he even adds accents when narrating from a particular subjects point of view.
Fantastic, it should be read by anyone with a passing interest in the subject. You will be convinced, as he appears to be, this is a very real subject, which has been covered up by the governments of the world.
