The U.S. government now admits that unidentified craft are real. It spent the previous seventy years making sure you would not believe it.
In Lies Above, cybersecurity researcher and forensics expert David A. Burkett builds the documented case for how that happened, and to whom. For seventy years the Pentagon has publicly dismissed UFOs while privately tracking objects with capabilities far beyond our own, craft that operate by principles our best physicists still consider theoretical. This is not a book about belief. It is a book about documented evidence, and about the machinery of denial that ran for three generations: the ridicule manufactured by committee, the investigations built to debunk rather than discover, and the sworn testimony to Congress that does not survive contact with the record.
Burkett traces the pattern from the first cover stories of the late 1940s to the present day. Project Sign and Project Grudge. The Robertson Panel that turned mockery into policy. Project Blue Book, built to look away. Nuclear missiles going offline over Malmstrom while the public was told there was nothing to see. The 2004 USS Nimitz encounter the Navy could not explain and would not discuss. And in 2023, an intelligence officer named David Grusch testifying under oath that the United States retains craft it did not build. The thread connecting them is not a single secret but a method: a cover-up that has grown more dangerous than the truth it conceals, subverting democratic oversight and hiding a reality with consequences for everyone.
What sets Lies Above apart is its refusal to ask for your trust. QR codes on nearly every page open the source material on your phone. Hear the pilot testimony in their own words, read the declassified documents, and watch the sensor footage for yourself. You are not asked to believe the author. You are handed the evidence and shown where to check it.
Lies Above carries a foreword by Michael Ian Black, the New York Times bestselling author, comedian, actor, and UFO witness. Author David A. Burkett tracks nation-state threat actors for a living and wrote the first published white paper on the Detection as Code methodology. Here he turns that same discipline on the public record, applying the standards of proof used to expose hostile actors hidden in data to a seventy-year history of official deception.
Rigorously sourced and built to withstand scrutiny, Lies Above is both an indictment of a cover-up finally coming apart and a guide to the disclosure now underway.
