It was a month or two ago that I was interviewed by a reporter from the Key Peninsula News.Here is the link to the article: https://keypennews.org/stories/close-encounters-of-the-key-peninsula-kind,9697
Articles like this are appearing more frequently everywhere. In 1987 when I first got seriously involved in UFO investigations, if UFO stories were covered at all by the media, then they tended to follow the “party line,” with ridicule and dismissal underlying the reporting. Since 2017 when the Tic-Tac UFO story broke in the New York Times, the entire climate around this formerly taboo subject has improved.
UFOs are now known as UAPs or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, which I view as good news and bad news.
First, the bad news – by calling the encounters with unknown apparently intelligently controlled vehicles as UAPs, the government is free to pretend there is no history to the phenomena BEFORE 2004. What a great way to dismiss all the untold thousands of reports that no one has been able to properly explain. I, for one, refuse to deny our rich, wonderful and mysterious history!
For the good news, when UAPs have morphed yet again into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, then the study of the grand mystery adopts a much broader perspective. We are searching for underlying truths behind not only reports of flying saucers and aliens, but also ghosts, cryptids and all manner of High Strangeness.
