I am not sure if this was posted but there was a slight update on this case. I checked the search function and didn't find it here. Former Arizona Governor Fife Symington has admitted that his press conference that included his chief of staff dressed as an alien, was a diversion method. He now admits that the military and department of defense can't explain all of the UFO sightings. The governor a trained pilot believes that the UFO was of some foreign origin. He claims in order to calm things down he had that funny press conference with his chief of staff dressed with an alien mask and hands. Here are some links with the story for those who didn't hear about this. ;)
