Peter Davenport brings up an interesting point from a Jan 10th posting on UFOUpDates:
An observation on the O'Hare case... Isn't it interesting that,
despite the broad media coverage the sighting has generated, we
have not heard a thing from Congress, or from any other
government office, about the case! NUFORC has not received a
single query from any member of Congress, not a query from any
military or intelligence organization, and not even a quip from
any law enforcement agency. I find that to be even more curious
than the event itself! It suggests to me that individuals in
some of those offices may already know a great deal more about
the UFO phenomenon than they are revealing to 'mere' American
Citizens. They may prefer to let the story die a natural death,
rather than reveal their interest in the incident.
Alternatively, it could simply be that people in positions of
authority intuitively recognize when self-censorship is
advisable... The initial attempt by the FAA to deny that the
event had ever occurred is suggestive of that possibility, I
believe.
Unlike Mr. Davenport, I really am to the point where I don't care if this was an alien ship, what bothers me most is that a security breach happened
and not a damn thing is being investigated. Is the US military allowed now to freely fly UAV drones over airports? Are pranksters allowed to fly
model aircraft over airports without being investigated?
If no one wants to investigate further than what the FAA did, which conflicts with eyewitness testimony, then we have a culture that never woke up
from 9/11. Or we have a government that has decided UFOs are aliens and doesn't care to embarrass themselves and lose their jobs...which brings us
back to people sacrificing lives for job security. Great.
