Mainstream media in the United States overwhelmingly ignored UFO reports in 2008, a writer has charged. Even worse, the media --often snobbish-- also deliberately ignores confusing and contradictory reports from officials, said Sarasota Herald-Tribune reporter Billy Cox. Cox lambasted the media's failure to hammer changing reports that U.S. fighter jets were scrambled in response to the Stephenville sighting. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) reports filed by Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) investigations gained official data that indicated the reported UFO may have been headed for President George W. Bush's Crawford ranch. He also took on internet rumors that CNN's Miles O'Brien was fired--along with others--shortly after he prepared a UFO series. [ Visit Website ]
