Leslie Kean talks with Stuart Davis about her book UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go On the Record, the result of a ten-year investigation into one of the world's most mysterious (and most marginalized) phenomena.

The universe is so much bigger and darker than we can ever imagine. Good thing we've got a flashlight.
