And another thing...
Did you notice how quickly the story just fell off the radar?
We get a semi-credible news report from credible media, supposedly from "official government sources" that suggests earth is being visited by extraterrestrials, and nobody gives a shit. Whether or not the story is true or not, you would expect all sorts of follow-up, commentary, debate, even response from both sober scientific authorities and wacko crackpots.
But nothing. Nobody seems to care. Neither confirmation nor debunk surfaces. In a few more weeks it will be like it never happened. Its like the whole nation has Attention Deficit Disorder. Our national short-term memory is shot.
Its very strange.
