Chrispy, you really are way off on this one. I can link the Chicago Tribune article on the O'Hare UFO
article which had over a million hits and was the most viewed article in the history of the website.
And that story had massive national coverage. Because you missed it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
That was in January.
Or the CNN coverage of the 10th anniversary of the Phoenix Lights in which the former Arizona
Governor came out and admitted to seeing the craft.
You know the former military/governmental witnesses that I linked to on You Tube? When they
spoke out in 2000/2001, there was massive national coverage also.
Now, do most of the reporters think this topic is a joke? Yes. That's changing. But it's sloooooow.
But the Tribune coverage was a big step forward.
Another thing I will agree with you on is that most of the sightings don't deserve coverage.
They're usually mis-identifications.
Here's some more national coverage that you say doesn't exist.

This 1989 photo from France's space agency CNES shows an investigator inspecting the site known as "Le trou normand" -- or the Norman hole -- where there are allegedly traces left by a UFO.

PARIS — France's space agency is opening up its secret X-Files— three decades of research into UFO sightings, including police reports, witness sketches and maps that scientists used to search for logical explanations behind mysterious phenomena in the skies.
The first batch of archives went up on the agency's website Thursday, and the pages have had so much traffic that the site has been tough to access since.
Only about 9% of France's UFO cases have ever been fully explained, the group says, while experts have found likely reasons for another 33% of cases.
The agency, known by its French initials CNES, said it went public with the documents to draw the scientific community's attention to unexplained cases — and because their secrecy generated buzz, with many people su**CENSORED**ious that officials were hiding something.
