Summary:
'
UFO
' by Garrett M. Graff is the first comprehensive and eye-opening exploration of the American
government
's decades-long quest to solve one of humanity'
s
greatest mysteries: are we alone in the universe? For as long as we have looked to the skies, the question of whether
life
on Earth is the only
life
to exist has been at the core of the human experience, driving scientific debate and discovery, shaping spiritual belief, and prompting existential thought across borders and generations. And yet, the idea of extraterrestrial intelligence has been largely seen as a joke, banished to the realm of fantasy and conspiracy. Now, for the first time, the full
story
of our national obsession with UFOs-and the covert, decades-long
search
by scientists, the United States military, and the CIA for proof of
alien
life-is told by bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize finalist Garrett M. Graff in a deeply reported and researched history. Drawing from original archival research, declassified documents, and interviews with senior intelligence and military officials, Graff brings every moment of this extraordinary quest to
life
, transporting readers from secret military meetings and congressional hearings, where the validity of the
search
is debated, to the cluttered offices of UFOlogists and hoaxers determined to see the truth revealed, remote observatories where astronomers monitor the stars, and even the halls of the White House, where staffers and presidents alike eagerly await answers. Filled with twists and turns, and populated by an unforgettable cast of characters,
UFO
is a thrilling
story
of science, national security, the secrets of space, and the enduring mysteries of the universe.
Garrett M. Graff has spent nearly two decades covering politics, technology, and national security. The former editor of Politico and contributor to Wired and CNN, he'
s
written for publications from Esquire to Rolling Stone to The New York Times, and today serves as the director of the cyber initiative at the Aspen Institute. Graff is the author of multiple books, including the FBI history, The Threat Matrix, Raven Rock (about the
government
's Cold War Doomsday plans), When the Sea Came Alive (an oral history of D-Day), and the New York Times bestsellers The Only Plane in the Sky and Watergate, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History.
