Nicholas Julian Cook is a British aviation journalist, defence consultant and author, formerly aviation editor of Jane's Defence Weekly, best known for his 2001 book The Hunt for Zero Point about alleged secret antigravity research.[1]
Journalism
Cook was aviation editor of Jane's Defence Weekly in the 1990s and an aerospace consultant and contributor to the magazine from 2002 to 2008. He won four journalism awards from the Royal Aeronautical Society.[1]
UFOs and antigravity
In the 1999 Discovery Channel documentary Billion Dollar Secret he investigated secret U.S. military spending and experimental aircraft that might have been mistaken for UFOs. His book The Hunt for Zero Point (2001) argued that the United States had secretly acquired Nazi antigravity research; critics found its evidence weak. In 2005 he wrote and presented the documentary UFOs: The Secret Evidence, shown in the United States as An Alien History of Planet Earth. He has also been a frequent guest on the radio show Coast to Coast AM.[1][2]
Later work
Cook founded and led Dynamixx, a consultancy linking the defence industry with climate and energy work, and wrote the novels Angel Archangel and Aggressor. After his wife's reported "shared-death experience" in 2014 he turned to research on consciousness; in 2020 he won a $20,000 prize in an essay contest held by Robert Bigelow's Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies and became a director of the institute.[1]
