another very dry article about UFOs in the New York Times

Not many New York Times headlines that begin with "Wow."

This is yet another article by Helene Cooper, Ralph Blumenthal and Leslie Kean on the subject of UFOs. Here's an excerpt from the Sunday May 26 2109 article:

In late 2014, Lieutenant Graves said he was back at base in Virginia Beach when he encountered a squadron mate just back from a mission “with a look of shock on his face.”

He said he was stunned to hear the pilot’s words. “I almost hit one of those things,” the pilot told Lieutenant Graves.

The pilot and his wingman were flying in tandem about 100 feet apart over the Atlantic east of Virginia Beach when something flew between them, right past the cockpit. It looked to the pilot, Lieutenant Graves said, like a sphere encasing a cube.

The incident so spooked the squadron that an aviation flight safety report was filed, Lieutenant Graves said.

The subject is treated entirely seriously. The Times has run a series of these articles, beginning in December 2017. Or April of 2017 if you include THIS.

The late Stanton Friedman commented on the December article saying, "Someone, somewhere flipped a switch, and I would've loved to have been in that room when that decision was made."
