They just happen to put out this story a day after it’s revealed how much Harry Reid’s UFO project cost us? How convenient...

I think it has more to do with our new President Trump than Harry Reid.

A new atmosphere in the military in my opinion.

Interesting that Ralph Blumenthal is one of the NY Times writers on this story. I stopped reading most of his crap after comparing his visit to a So. Vietnamese village in the Mekong Delta (Nov. 1970) and his negative writing about the state of affairs there (the SVN govt/ARVN seized it from the Communists a year ago.

Three other journalists and myself saw and wrote that the situation in this hamlet/village was demonstratively better for the people since the So. Vietnamese govt came back and drove the VC out.

Blumenthal interviewed the blacksmith husband of the woman I interviewed (she had a small Soda/snack business in the front of their little house) and when I asked her how “had the conditions changed since the SVN govt/troops came in”, she said that her children went to school, that the Govt had built a maternity clinic nearby so that they wouldn’t have to take a woman in labor 20 miles down the river to the nearest hospital/medical center, and that the Govt didn’t tax her pig like the VC did (400 piasters, about one dollar American at that time).

I believe the other writers who wrote positively of this same village at about the same time as I visited it, included Henry Bradsher, Washington Star, possibly Don Kirk, Chicago Tribune, (both of whom I lunched with in Saigon and Cambodia), and maybe a writer from the Wash. Post or Baltimore Sun.

UFOs is a great beat for Blumenthal. He’s been a weird leftist since the 70’s. Wonder which one of the 57 states of Obama’s America he came from - Uranus perhaps.
