George Knapp gives the timeline and background to the current kerfuffle between the former Senate Majority Leader and The New York Times over remarks ascribed to Reid in The Gray Lady’s latest UFO expose. What was originally credited to Reid seems counter to his historical comments on the possibility of ET crash retrievals–which of course could be why NYT reporters Ralph Blumenthal and Leslie Kean took especial notice. As Knapp notes, the two “say they still stand by the story and the quote from Reid.” Paul Seaburn offers opinions on the matter as The New York Times Media-splains Recent UFO Materials Announcement. A good government document or two would be a great help in sorting some of this stuff. Nick Redfern tells us where we can find some in The Vault: Taking a Look at Files on Unexplained Phenomena. Many of these FBI files concern certain UFO-related personalities. And “UFO-people” stuff that’s available but not yet through the FBI’s Vault gets mention in Nick’s Government Files and the Paranormal: Documents You May Not Know About. (WM)
