I REMEMBER WHEN THE IDEA THAT THE GOVERNMENT WAS CONCEALING ALIEN ARTIFACTS WAS JUST A CRAZY CONSPIRACY THEORY: Pentagon Has ‘Off-World Vehicles Not Made on This Earth.’

As recently as February, a Pentagon spokesperson told Popular Mechanics that, while a government program did investigate unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and other unexplained aerial phenomena for some time last decade, funding dried up in 2012. But when Popular Mechanics thoroughly investigated the covert program, multiple sources said it’s still ongoing to this day.

Now, a new report in the New York Times confirms those accounts.

The NYT story is here. A few interesting things: (1) They’ve been rolling this out for a couple of years, even releasing video, and it’s made a surpringly small impression; (2) Why are they slow-rolling this story, and why are they telling us now? (3) ALLLIIIIEEENNNSS!!!!

But InstaPundit readers have a headstart on what’s going on.

UPDATE: UFO sighting: ‘Alien cube ship’ TEN TIMES bigger than Earth captured by NASA. The truth is out there. No, apparently it really is.
