The subject of contact with intelligent extraterrestrial beings seems to steadily be gaining more credibility in mainstream media outlets, thanks to increasingly responsible journalism.
In the Sunday edition of Phoenix's The Arizona Republic daily newspaper, an excerpt from the new book by journalist Leslie Kean was printed in the "Viewpoints" section of the paper.
Kean's book "UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record" has been praised by scientists and others who have looked carefully at this subject.
On page B-11 and 12, the Sunday Republic printed an excerpt from the book that dealt with the 1997 so-called Phoenix lights incident, which is of special interest to Republic readers in Phoenix and throughout Arizona.
Accompanied by a large beautiful photo of deep space was the article headline, "What if we are not alone in the Universe?" Two sidebar articles that carried over on page B-12 were brief Q & A pieces discussing the topic with Kean and former Arizona governor Fife Symington who has stated he saw a huge craft overhead that night.
By applying professional journalistic standards to this interesting yet unconventional topic, the Republic stands out as a model of f orward-leaning journalism.
