In Plain Sight

Finally a UFO book that doesn't read like a laundry list of dates/places, or ask the reader for monumental leaps of faith to believe incredible stories whose only evidence is the word of the person who witnessed the UFO.Ross Coulhart is a top notch journalist, who manages to pull off what only the most skilled of his craft can do. Write a book that is so engrossing that you can't put it down, but without any embellishment to keep you engaged. He doesn't ask for your belief in this subject, only that you have an open mind when presented with facts. That you don't allow the stigma of this topic to bias you to the point of blindness. If you're willing to do that then this book is worth every penny.I was completely dismissive of this subject until very recently. I believed in life existing elsewhere in the universe, but I was so doubtful of any possible visitation to Earth that I wasn't even willing to discuss it. Ross was one of the people that completely changed my mind. At this point I am entirely convinced by the existing evidence that not only have we been visited, but that multiple governments have recovered UFO's.This book gives a great history lesson on the subject. One that isn't entirely based in the US. That this phenomenon is truly worldwide. That we have been visited for at least 70 years. That our governments have hidden the truth from us. That those same governments have recovered craft not made by human beings, and that they have been trying to reverse engineer those craft for decades.This book is absolutely mind blowing. Buy it, read it, and then share it with others. I can't think of any other book that deserves attention like this does. The audio book is read by him, and is done beautifully. He has the gift of speaking that keeps you enraptured in what he is saying. I bought both. I've read the book twice now, and heard the audio book once, but am working on a relisten.As the evidence behind this phenomenon grows, I sincerely hope Ross Coulhart continues to write on the subject.... And Quickly!!! I plan on buying it all.

This is an excellent, well-written book that can serve as an useful primer for those of us who want to get a sense of the UFO/UAP problem. This is important, since no rational, unbiased person can deny the reality of this phenomenon. Once again, full dsclosure: I am a skeptic, but I am no debunker, and I am deeply curious about these things. Also, I am no one to deride and/or discounts the experiences of anyone. I may disagree, emphatically even, but I always try to do it with respect.In a nutshell, as I have stated in my previous post and reiterate here: These things are real, but we don’t have any idea what they are; at least most of us don’t.This book walk us through a brief historical overview of the events that guided the thoughts of UFO enthusiasts, beginning in the 1940s all the way to the exciting present developments, but is has much more to offer. I like the author’s curious, yet objective approach to the topic, and I especially appreciate its perspective; please allow me to explain. It irritates me to no end that many narratives and hypotheses (NOT theories – a pet peeve of mine) formulated on this topic, with some notable exceptions, tend to center around what happens in the continental US. This book explicitly provides a much-needed global perspective. UFOs/UAPs are being seen everywhere, period.Without giving too much away, the only disappointing thing about this book is the usual statements in the lines of “… a person high-up in the (Air Force/Navy/Government/take your pick) told me X”. I understand that journalists must work with anonymous sources, I really get it, and I get that a journalists must respect the anonymity of a source upon request, but this leads to interesting hearsay, nothing more. This book is actually better than others in this respect, since he names comparatively more sources than other books. This fact, combined with the provided information, and the aforementioned perspective, objectivity and professionalism of the author, make this book is well worth the read.

I am drawn to UAP/UFO stories whenever they appear. One of first books I ever read was by Maj. Donald Keyhole. I am satisfied having read In Plain Sight. I found Coulthart's book to be an interesting read because of the approach he takes in presenting his research into the individuals involved, both their backgrounds and contributions to the narrative. Some readers may have heard of the events forming the chapters but the presentation makes it fresh.

I'm only 30% into this book so far, but wow, what an eye opener. In fairness I'm already a believer, so no convincing necessary.Because of the book I've also taken a deep dive into UFO stuff on YouTube. It's all so fascinating.I'm really enjoying the book, but the one little thing that I'm finding a tad distracting is the author's overuse of the word prosaic. In the 30% of the book I've read so far, he's used it at least a couple of dozen times.Someone needs to buy this guy a thesaurus for Christmas.

Well written and researched topic. Sincere, thorough, thoughtful. Highly recommend.

You should read this book. It is an absolute must for anybody interested in the UAP topic, which remains in darkness.

It is time to do your homework, Ross Coulthard and the professionalism he proved along a 30 years carrier is your gate to the reality of this world. On January 17, 1961, in this farewell address, President Dwight Eisenhower warned against the establishment of a "military-industrial complex. You'll learn why, decades of lies from the DoD still ongoing with Mike Turner (and other on The Hill, N.Y. paid by aerospaces companies making retro engineering on UAPs ) action to stop the NDAA2023 in this early December 2023. We are not alone, NHIs are here watching us and now you have to choice to learn about it or keep ignoring it. You have been warned 60 years ago, you are warned again now.

Interesting and well written book. Scarry if true and it probably is.
