Leslie Kean is an investigative journalist and a foundational figure in modern UAP disclosure. She co-authored the December 2017 New York Times story that revealed the Pentagon’s AATIP program and the Nimitz “Tic Tac” UAP videos — widely regarded as the event that returned UAP to mainstream credibility. She is the author of UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record (2010).

- Co-hosting (with filmmaker james-fox) the June 9, 2026 Capitol Hill UAP disclosure press conference featuring whistleblower david-grusch and Reps. eric-burlison, anna-paulina-luna, tim-burchett, and jared-moskowitz. See src-grusch-disclosure-press-conference-2026-05. At the presser she urged Trump to prioritize declassification of nonhuman biological evidence specifically, citing kirk-mcconnell on classified Senate briefings — including marco-rubio — about recovered nonhuman bodies (src-lawmakers-crash-retrieval-immunity-2026-06).
- Her 2017 reporting is part of the lineage that the current PURSUE disclosure push and the uap-disclosure-act build upon.
