Pittsburgh - NASA said it can find no records mentioning an unidentified object that may have landed in western Pennsylvania nearly 44 years ago.
The Coalition for Freedom of Information, a volunteer group that seeks to bring more credibility to the subject of UFOs through journalism and freedom of information quests, sued NASA in 2003 seeking information about the event in Kecksburg. The group's federal lawsuit, backed by the SyFy Channel cable network, was settled in October 2007 when NASA agreed to pay $50,000 in legal fees and search some of its records.
But that nearly two-year search ended in August and yielded nothing, Leslie Kean, a New York-based freelance author and documentarian who directs the all-volunteer CFI, told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "I still believe, from all the work and the research and everything, that something came down" from the sky, Kean said. "But what it was, I have no idea."
Comment:
It's possible NASA records exist in another office, have been lost or are classified, she said. But if classified records exist, NASA is supposed to say so under federal freedom of information regulations, and that hasn't happened, Kean said.
Let's not forget that the government agencies have long known that if you don't want to leave a paper trail then it is best not put on paper, or just
file it in the garbage can.
Of course, that doesn't mean that NASA isn't capable of lying through its teeth, either. And the different governmental departments and agencies have made an art of
losing things.
So have your pick as to just what has happened to those papers they said must have been lost. It all amounts to the same thing - no records.
Comment: Funny how they use this report from Stephany Cohen to sum up the article. It's almost like they are trying to discredit the entire article by throwing in this last report.
"See, these are looney people!"
