From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nick Cook (Nicholas Julian Cook, b. 1960) is a
British
aviation journalist
and author of fiction and
non-fiction works and has won four Aerospace
Journalist of the Year Awards from the Royal Aeronautical
Society.
Journalism
From 1987 to 2001, Cook was Aviation Editor of Jane's Defence Weekly, the
international defence journal. He is currently the magazine’s
Aerospace Consultant. His exclusive stories for Jane's have
included reports on Russian secret weapons and a second classified
operation to rescue US hostages in Iran. He is also a regular
contributor to the Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal and writes
extensively for other United Kingdom and international media. In
his 18 year career, he has visited the world's leading defense
establishments and has gained access to numerous top secret
military facilities and bases in the US and former Soviet Union. As
a regular commentator on defence and security issues, his views and
analysis were sought by UK, US, and other world news media during
the 1991 and 2003 wars against Iraq and major conflicts in
between.
Cook is widely regarded as an expert on military "black projects."
His two hour documentary for the Discovery Channel, Billion
Dollar Secret, detailed for the first time the secret
inner workings of America's classified weapons establishment. He
also appeared on the Discovery Channel's Unsolved History
series episode Area 51 that aired in February 2005. His
documentary, "An Alien History of Planet Earth," was presented by
The History Channel in the US in March 2006 and was shown
in the UK as
"UFOs: The Secret Evidence." Cook adopts a non-judgmental stance
when interviewing subjects who clearly believe in UFOs, alien contact, conspiracy theories, and other unusual
phenomena.
Writing
Cook is also a published author. His ground-breaking book "The
Hunt For Zero Point", published by Century Random House in the UK
in 2001 and Broadway Books in the US in 2002, details his ten-year
investigation into efforts to crack the Holy Grail of aerospace
propulsion: anti-gravity technology. The book reached
No.1 in the Amazon.com non-fiction chart and no.3 on the general
list. Other works by Cook include: "Angel Archangel" and
"Aggressor", and a number of ghost-written books
including The
Sunday Times Bestseller "Sabre Squadron".
Other
work
Cook is a founding member of the New Energy Congress. In 2008,
he founded Dynamixx, a consultancy bringing together the defense
industry and the search for solutions to climate change. Cook has a
degree in Arabic and Islamic Studies from Exeter University and
lives in London.
