{ "item_title" : "Unidentified", "item_author" : [" Angel Fajardo "], "item_description" : "On the morning of July 26, 2023, three men sat before a congressional subcommittee, raised their right hands, and swore to tell the truth about what they had seen. One was a decorated naval aviator who had chased a white capsule-shaped object off the California coast in 2004 and watched it accelerate to hypersonic velocity without a sonic boom, without a heat signature, and without any propulsion system his nineteen years of flying could identify. One was a former Navy lieutenant who had encountered anomalous objects daily in military training airspace for months, filing reports his chain of command attributed to a software upgrade. One was a former intelligence officer who testified, under oath, that the United States government possesses non-human craft and non-human biological material, that the programs holding them have been concealed from congressional oversight, and that people have been harmed for knowing what he was now saying publicly.The room was full. The cameras were running. And the government's eighty-year program of systematic concealment was, for the first time, being formally required to respond.Unidentified is the complete history of that concealment - from the fourteen hours between the Roswell Army Air Field's July 8, 1947, press release announcing the recovery of a flying disc and the retraction that attributed the debris to a weather balloon, to the disclosure push of 2025 and 2026 still working to penetrate the classification barrier. It is the story of Project Sign's analysts, who concluded in 1948 that the objects were of extraterrestrial origin and had their report burned by the Air Force Chief of Staff. Of the Robertson Panel's classified 1953 recommendation to debunk the phenomenon and surveil the civilians who studied it. Of Project Blue Book's seventeen years of managed investigation, which produced 701 officially unexplained cases the termination announcement never mentioned. Of the USS Nimitz Tic Tac that dropped from 80,000 feet to sea level in under a second. Of Luis Elizondo, who ran a classified Pentagon program proving the military was encountering objects performing beyond the known limits of aerospace technology - and resigned when the institution declined to listen.It is the story of what the government knew, when it knew it, and what it decided - through classification, institutional ridicule, professional consequence, and strategic disclosure - to do about what it knew. Of the pilots who filed the reports. Of the scientists prevented from examining the evidence. Of the legislators who emerged from classified briefings changed by what they had been shown and forbidden to describe it. And of the objects themselves - present in the operational airspace of the most sophisticated military in the world since at least 1947, tracked by instruments that military trusts with the lives of its own pilots, and still there, this week, above a civilization told for eighty years that they do not exist.The question is no longer whether the objects are real. The documented record has settled that. The question is what a democratic society does with the knowledge that its government spent eighty years deciding its citizens could not handle the answer.Drawing on declassified CIA and Air Force records, sworn congressional testimony, FOIA-obtained intelligence files, NASA study findings, and formal whistleblower complaints, Unidentified tells the complete story of the phenomenon the government has been managing since 1947 - and of the people who have spent eighty years insisting that management is not the same thing as an answer.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/819/309/9798193094210_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "14.99", "online_price" : "14.99", "our_price" : "14.99", "club_price" : "14.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
