other nations of the world are much less secretive about UFOs. We have so much shit going on here, along with the culture of secrecy, that it's auto-lie every time.
Remember that novemeber chicago o hare airport event? FAA denied a report was even filed. What kinda shit is that? Lie to the people who pay your salary, for no reason? Then they admitted the report was real, when threatened with FOIA, but blamed it on weather.
What if you or I lied to the feds about something like that? We'd be breaking rocks at a nice prison somewhere.
But, since it's the FAA, they lie automatically about things like this. Kinda destroys their credibility when they try to speak authoratively on events that DO matter.
