Because it doesn't matter, its not causing a problem and its nots interfering in any way - also you do not deny everything the media spouts for two very good reasons:

1. There are too many of them to refute, it would take you forever and cost you a fortune

2. It adds fuel to the rumours you do not deny, and you don't want to deny something falsely as that can lead to legal action later on

At the end of the day, the USAF couldn't care less if you think the TR-3Whatever exists, what its capabilities are or what colour its painted. Their concerns are elsewhere so the media have their field day. It doesn't mean what the media say should be taken at face value however.

The USAF does not even use the TR series designation anymore, and there have not been any alleged sightings of this alleged aircraft in quite some time.

Now there are plenty of people who will label any aircraft they can not identify as a TR-3 or TR-3B or TR-3 whatever...

Now if one can just say Tier 3 over and over, maybe it will just sound like a certain aircraft designation that is tossed around by people...
