The rare original film slide of the famous Belgium triangle in Leslie Kean' hand. In the documentary - physicists discover a magnetic field surrounding the object. Courtesy of Leslie Kean - Steve New documentary "Secret Access: UFOs on the Record" - based on Leslie Kean's book - airs on August 25, 2011 on History Channel. Press release for documentary is below: Source: tinyurl.com/3vhwxo2SECRET ACCESS: UFOs ON THE RECORD Two-hour special premieres Thursday, August 25 at 8 p.m. ET on HISTORY. I saw the premiere of this 2 hour documentary, and have to say it is the best documentary about UFO's I have seen in a very long time. Maybe the best I have ever seen. It takes all the most notable UFO cases of this generation, and lays them all out. For once, the tone is very serious, not the UFO hunters Bill Burnes circus atmosphere. It took a documentary of this high quality by Leslie Kean, to show if the author is serious, the audience will take it serious too. It is how all UFO documentaries should be, and will be the gage all future ones will be measured by I think. I liked it very much. Good for you Leslie! It covers so much so well. The Rendlesham Forest Incident, the Phoenix Lights, the Chicago O'Hare case, the Japan Airlines Anchorage sighting, the Belgium wave, and more. If you think UFOlogy is waining, Budd Hopkins gone.....find hope in Leslie Kean's new documentary... Steve

It looks like Leslie is definitely the right person to take over all of Budds Research. I'm sure she will take good care of it and continue his work.

History Channel gets it rightby Billy Cox August 26th, 2011 03:07pm Thursday night’s “Secret Access” report by The History Channel — “UFOs On The Record” — is the sort of crisp advocacy journalism one might easily envision in PBS’ “Frontline” rotation. Focused (if not a tad overproduced), expertly sourced, and devoid of the tripe that too often characterizes network programming on this issue, “UFOs On The Record” is a foundational model for jump-starting a national conversation so desperately overdue. In fact, the logical next question might be: What, exactly, are viewers supposed to do with this material? Contemplating citizen action may seem premature, given the comparatively small niche audience of The History Channel, but at least this week we got a glimpse of what may lie ahead. The 96-minute documentary, built upon Leslie Kean’s UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go On the Record, was produced by filmmakers Ricki Stern and Annie Sudberg, who obviously know what they’re doing. Having tackled atrocities in Darfur, a racially motivated murder conviction in North Carolina, and America’s post-9/11 surveillance culture, among other things, Stern and Sudberg have little appetite for equivocation. Like Kean, they made no unsubstantiated claims and dispensed with the uninformed ruminations of so-called UFO skeptics that pass for “balance” in mainstream formulas. Instead, they mined official documents and eyewitnesses to build a compelling case for the serious disconnect between reality and American public policy. For Kean’s readers, the “Secret Access” treatment covered familiar turf: the Phoenix Lights, the Rendlesham Forest incident, the 1989-90 Belgian wave, etc. But watching many of the players in the book — like former Federal Aviation Administration accidents division chief John Callahan, and retired Belgian Gen. Wilfried De Brouwer — as they physically reconstructed complex interactions between UFOs and jet planes brought the enormity of the transactions to life. And, fan though I am of the written word, there is no substitute for listening to audiotapes of air traffic/ground crew chatter trying to come to grips with a UFO idling over Chicago’s O’Hare International in 2006. “On The Record” also introduced us to eyewitnesses who weren’t in the book, and gave a sendup to the National Aviation Reporting Center on Anomalous Phenomena, which is conducting the sort of scientific research that sends our own government into contortions to avoid. And it profiled an innovator who just might someday land the biggest catch of all. Hollywood special effects guru Douglas Trumbull (“Blade Runner,” “Close Encounters of the Third Kind,” “2001: A Space Odyssey”) can spot UFO fake footage with a craftsman’s eye. But lately, he’s applying his technological skills to a mobile camera unit called Ufotog, with which he will scan the skies using optics capable of gauging size, distance, altitude, velocity and trajectory of unidentifieds up there, visible and otherwise. This is exciting stuff. What a rollercoaster month it’s been for Leslie Kean. The paperback version of UFOs On the Record rolled on Aug. 2, with a fresh endorsement from heavyweight astronomer Derrick Pitts. On Sunday, she was by the side of artist and abduction research pioneer Budd Hopkins when he died at age 80. A couple of days ago, she joined a panel discussion promoting the “Secret Acess” documentary on CNN Headline News. A noteworthy venue, but it should’ve been even bigger. Things change, inevitably, whether we allow them to or not. Thursday night, we got a glimpse of how a major shift might begin. Given the MSM’s track record for peddling dumbed-down mediocrity, it’s unlikely the “Secret Access” piece can provide that momentum swing, which will occur eventually. What it did was remind us of an even more fundamental truth — hard work pays off. devoid.blogs.heraldtribune.com/12230/history-channel-gets-it-right/?pa=all&tc=pgall
