Can someone summarize the article?

Basically, Reed says "There is a massive amount of evidence for UFOs that the govt and it's peripherals have, but nobody knows what it really is. Too bad the news-people don't have the resources, anymore, to devote a guy and a few months to go through the public records. Just a couple weeks ago another one visited a missile sight in MT, again, for example."

That's what I got out of it, anyway.

Harry Reid says there are hundreds of pages of documents from the US government's UFO program detailing incidents they investigated that are available to the public, but nobody in the press is following up on it to report on what's there.

That was the main takeaway for me.

You put more weight into this than it's worth. It's just a run-of-the-mill article about people seeing or reading about UFOs, or what they thought were UFOs. Nothing is interesting about the article. Bigelow is just another run-of-the-mill UFO enthusiast and hasn't achieved anything re: UFOs worth taking to the bank. No one has any special or knowledge of UFOs. I've been a UFOlogist since 1957 and I probably know more about UFOs that anyone who claims they do. We all get the same info because that's all there is. The U.S. government has no exotic knowledge of UFOs. All they have is what has been reported, mostly hearsay.

In the end, we don't need anyone to tell us UFOs are real, that's a given. All pilots can do is report their sightings which have never resulted in anything other than what is filed.

*yaaaawn*

Wake me up when aliens shows up at the White House.

Thanks for sharing

Wow, thorough summary there you did, OP.

IIRC Harry Reid and the late, great Sen Ted Stevens were the two Senators who authorized over $20 in Pentagon spending to conduct UFO research 8 or 9 years ago. The program was secretive and came to light after Reid retired. I reckon his proximity to Ground Zero at Area 51 and his connections as a senior senator provided him with information the general public is totally clueless about.

This double post brought to you by the same gremlin that has been doubling my posts for the past 2 days.

I'm not putting much weight at all into this. I just thought it was interesting.

BTW I didn't feel much need to summarize aside from it was an interesting interview, and how he met Bigelow and got involved in all this. The article is about that, so I didn't feel the need to go into great detail. Or I could have just copied and pasted the whole story

For instance? And how do you know this? You're part of totally clueless public, I'm assuming.

Either way it wasn't worth a hill of beans.

I liked it and thought I'd share. Who s*** in your cereal?

My friend Andy Jackson here says he'd like to know what secrets you know about UFOs.
