Katy Couric said the word UFO in primetime for the first time without any laughter or tittering in the studio.

The unidentified "space debris" spotted during the recent Shuttle mission may have been many things but it was not a zip lock bag, nor was it close.

Also there is talk of a disk being explored at the bottom of Lake Superior by a private recovery team.

If incontravertible proof of a ufo were to be broadcast world wide at this time, it is my belief it would take a back seat to the rest of the world's woes in the news. It might make the front page once but within a week it would be on page 32.

I had lunch with an esteemed and scholarly mudcatter BillD this week, and the only subject he did not find worthy of discussion was the ufo phenomenon.

Since I personally knew the author of Project Blue Book, the man who coined the term close encounter of the third kind, Professor Emeritus in Astronomy and Astro Physics at Northwestern University, Allan Hynek, as well as having some unique experiences of my own, the subject of ufos is a perfectly legitimate field of inquiry.

It does however seem to have become a far less inflammatory subject that it was even ten years ago when the media was presented with trying to explain the Phoenix lights.

Back then I recall The Today show's Katy Couric interviewing an entire family of 5 who witnessed the event and cut off the father after only 5 seconds and then turned the segment over to a professional debunker for the remaining 4 minutes.

In the spirit of leaked memos du jour, I think the time is right for truthful disclosure.
