Like the rest of us, Billy Cox marvels at the apparent tardiness of the National Intelligence and Defense agencies to meet the Congressionally-mandated Halloween date for their UFO/UAP report. Billy notes the markedly different tenor of “leaks” about the report and its background to New York Times and Daily Mail reporters, and asks a pointed question of our Legislative Branch. The Wall Street Journal published a follow-up “Opinion/Letter” piece to a rather under-informed Holman W. Jenkins, Jr. editorial we reviewed on the 4th. This response advises On UFOs, Don’t Trust Your Lying Eyes. WSJ’s decision to print this more recent letter smacks of the kind of journalism Billy senses in the Times piece. Shifting to a less-controversial but not wholly unrelated subject, Micah Hanks tells us that a NASA-Funded Project Will Crowdsource Data To Study Mysterious Transient Luminous Events. Burcu Kosar’s “Spiritacular” project offers a way for citizens to help investigate ill-known phenomena. Hey, NASA: how about ufology? But Rich Reynolds senses potential danger in folks getting too close to the real “UFO Secret,” and wonders whether The UFO Gordian Knot will ever be solved by its own Alexander the Great. (WM)
