Federal agency backtracks
Like United, the FAA originally told the Tribune that it had no information on the alleged UFO sighting. But the federal agency quickly reversed its position after the newspaper filed a Freedom of Information Act request.
An internal FAA review of air-traffic communications tapes, a step toward complying with the Tribune request, turned up the call by the United supervisor to an FAA manager in the airport tower, Cory said.
LOL... FAA automatically denied it. Then, when they found out the newspaper was going to file a FOIAct to get their records, they decided to reveal it.
incredible that such lies are okay with people.
