Keith Kloor

Keith Kloor is a New York City-based freelance journalist and adjunct professor of journalism at New York University. He has no known birth or death years publicly available. Kloor is recognized for his skeptical analysis of UFO/UAP coverage in mainstream media and critiques of key figures in government UFO programs. His key achievements include longform investigations questioning Luis Elizondo's claims of leading the Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), arguing Elizondo lacks evidence and appeared at UFO conventions. He authored 'Why UFOs Will Never, Ever Go Away' on Substack, decrying anecdotal UFO research and credulous reporting on military UFO videos. Other notable works: 'UFOs Won’t Go Away' in Issues in Science and Technology, examining UFO belief persistence; a Science article on Avi Loeb's UFO ties; and critiques of Pentagon UFO studies led by supernatural believers. Kloor attributes UFO hype to poor journalism, dismissing videos as possible birds, drones, or balloons, not extraterrestrials.
