Kristin Fisher

Background

Kristin Anne Fisher was born on July 29, 1983, in Houston, Texas, and grew up in the Clear Lake area adjacent to NASA's Johnson Space Center. She is the daughter of Dr. Anna Lee Fisher, the first mother to fly in space (STS-51A, November 1984), and Dr. William Frederick Fisher, also a former NASA astronaut and emergency medicine physician. Both parents are accomplished chemists and physicians who represented a pioneering generation of Space Shuttle astronauts.

Fisher earned a Bachelor of Science degree in broadcast journalism from Boston University's College of Communication in 2005. Growing up in a household where space exploration and scientific inquiry were central, Fisher developed an early interest in science communication and journalism.

Career in Journalism

Fisher began her journalism career in 2008 as a reporter for ABC affiliates in Colorado and Arkansas, covering the 2008 presidential campaigns. In 2009, she relocated to Washington, D.C., where she reported for CBS affiliate WUSA-TV and contributed to ABC News as a freelance correspondent. In 2010, she won an Emmy Award for her "bi-weekly segments on heroes in the greater Washington community," recognizing her civic journalism work.

In 2015, Fisher joined Fox News as a general assignment reporter in its Washington, D.C., bureau. In late 2019, she was recruited as Fox News's White House correspondent, a position she held through the first Trump administration. During this tenure, she accompanied President Trump on a secret diplomatic trip to Afghanistan in 2020, serving as the only journalist aboard the flight.

Transition to Space and Defense Coverage

After departing Fox News in 2021, Fisher joined CNN as a Space and Defense correspondent, a role she held until 2025. During her five years at CNN, she covered nearly every major milestone of the modern space age, including NASA missions, the United States Space Force, commercial space ventures, and emerging space tourism efforts.

Fisher founded Field Mouse Films, a documentary production company dedicated to telling compelling stories at the intersection of space, science, and policy.

Endless Void Media and UAP Journalism

In 2025, Fisher made the significant decision to leave legacy media and founded Endless Void Media, a production company dedicated to bringing space and science back into popular culture with rigorous journalism. She launched The Endless Void, a YouTube channel and media platform exploring space exploration, scientific discovery, and unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).

In early 2026, as the Pentagon began releasing declassified UAP files following Trump administration directives, Fisher pivoted to major coverage of these disclosures. She interviewed U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in February 2026 regarding Pentagon preparations to release UAP documentation. Throughout mid-2026, she has covered the third, fourth, and subsequent releases of Pentagon UAP files, providing context and analysis to mainstream audiences. Her work has bridged the gap between legacy media credibility and independent journalism, bringing scientific rigor to the growing transparency movement around unidentified anomalous phenomena.

Fisher represents a new generation of space journalists willing to engage seriously with UAP transparency, combining her family legacy of space exploration with contemporary disclosure-era journalism.
