The NYTimes Published a Front Page Article on a DoD UFO Program

and actually reported the topic seriously.... are the PTB possibly ramping up efforts for "disclosure"?

I listened to the NYTimes podcast where they discussed this, and the two reporters were acting rather incredulous at first, like "come on, everyone knows UFOs are kook stuff", but they at least treated the story seriously.

Reporters, assuming they are interested in the truth at all, really need to do some research on UFOs and the overwhelming evidence that they are a real phenomenon.
