What exactly is the significance of this? So they are releasing reports they collected from members of the public, does this act of collecting reports mean they take it seriously..or where they merely logging the sighting/complaint by the citizen as a function of their job requirments? Are they releasing radar tracking data too?
It seems a bit pointless..anyone could collect such facts & data its not like they are releasing top secret files on crashed saucers or actual contact, while at the same time its a public satisfying of curiosity without having to reveal anything of worth!
So in future they can claim "we've done our bit" and thats the end of it! Nothing further need said, whilst the real secret stuff goes on behind closed doors. Its tantamount to a big fat ZERO
