Like in case of aliens in Hangar 18? Don't be ridiculous. Any US news outlet will give arm and leg to break the story like this. Self-publishing on mail list platform means there are so little evidence here, that not a single tabloid was interested.

Why? For the sake of the discussion let's say that this story is pure fabulation.

Alright, the internet is full of it, and many newspaper are not afraid of publishing clickbait bullshit, as long as it sells.

What's the risk? Since when is fake news illegal?

This is why I am surprised, why is it such a big deal?
