[Major Matt Mason]

This story isn't appearing anywhere else at this time. Does that make it fake? Not necessarily, but the veracity of this news source is mostly unknown. So yes, it could be fake news.

Either this story is bogus or there's a major coordinated media cover-up.

I can't find any other source to confirm this.

Can anyone confirm this with another independent source?

I'd discourage anyone from citing this until it can be verified by another source.
