An award-winning journalist investigates a story largely ignored by mainstream media but right there, in front of our eyes ...

UFOs, UAPs, flying cigars, extraordinary new technologies ... Are we not alone?

Award-winning investigative journalist Ross Coulthart has been intrigued by UFOs since mysterious glowing lights were reported near New Zealand's Kaikoura mountains when he was a teenager. The 1978 sighting is just one of thousands since the 1940s, and yet research into UFOs is still seen as the realm of crackpots and conspiracy theorists.

In 2020, however, after decades of denial, the US Department of Defence made the astonishing admission that strange aerial and underwater objects frequently reported and videoed by pilots and tracked by sensors are real, unexplained, and pose a genuine national security concern.

Compelled to investigate, Coulthart has embarked on what's become the most confronting and challenging story of his career, speaking to witnesses, researchers, scientists, spies and defence and intelligence officials and insiders. What he has found suggests that the world is on the cusp of extraordinary technological breakthroughs and cultural revelations.

Bizarre, sometimes mind-blowing and utterly fascinating, In Plain Sight tells a story that's largely escaped the radar of mainstream media coverage but has been there all along. Now it's time to observe what's in front of our eyes.

Excellent book faulty text conversion to Kindle format

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2024

This is an excellent objective book about this phemomenon. Not UFO fanboy stuff. Good work Mr. Coulthart.

The only issue I had was not with the content but with some of the text. There was a lot of split words and spaces in the wrong place. Perhaps this is a result of the conversion to ebook?

You don't need to be a believer when presented with facts.

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2021

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.

Well written, with convincingly constructed bread crumbs.

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.

Ross Coulthart did us all a huge favor. He spent decades researching the UFO topic developing high level civilian and military contacts to present a mountain of information on credible events. Many of these events are from other parts of the world which are seldom discussed.

The book is extremely well written and engaging. Ross also has a great way of telling the story. Almost like he was sitting across the table from you in a relaxed conversation. There are so many credible UFO events in this book that it would take a documentary TV series to even begin to cover it.

Ross has an excellent TV documentary called “The UFO Phenomenon” which you can watch for free on YouTube which covers a portion of the data in this book.

There is one other excellent book I own on this topic: The UFO Enigma by Peter A. Sturrock who is a distinguished Astrophysicist at Stanford University. Each event in this book is approached like an FAA crash investigation where every possible clue is taken into account and the event recreated with all speeds, trajectories, and environmental conditions accounted for as you would expect from a brilliant scientist. Some of the events can be logically explained and the reader will agree having been walked through the data. But some of the events despite his best efforts defy prosaic explanations.

The most brilliant documentary in existence on this subject is “The Phenomenon” by director James Fox. It’s available as a streaming purchase on Amazon. If I had to chose only one documentary to see on the subject this is the one…It’s brilliant!

James has several other excellent documentaries he created on the subject but “The Phenomenon” is his masterpiece.

Prosaic Much?

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.

Gripping and compelling read

Excellent read from an undeniable force on the UAP topic. Ross makes provocative, excellent articulated arguments against what is commonly accepted as evidence by the majority and the double standards applied to all things UAP. He's an incredible journalist with real integrity and will be following his work closely after reading this. A must read for anyone interested in UAP, UFO's and disclosure.
