UFOs have come out of the fringe and into the mainstream:
"The Pentagon’s secret UFO program was called AATIP — Advanced Aerospace Threat
Identification Program. The title cleverly blurred the lines between next-generation aviation
threats and the phenomena they were really studying. Maybe as an unintended
consequence, but perhaps by design, the cryptic title also kept the program hidden from
the numerous people who make Freedom of Information Act requests about “UFOs.”
AATIP was set up in 2007, largely on the initiative of the then-Senate majority leader,
Harry Reid. When AATIP’s existence was revealed, Reid tweeted: “The truth is out there.
Seriously.”"
