When was the last time a UFO/aliens story was competing for air time with a major real world news event (disaster, protest, shooting, terrorist, election, etc)?


Well, the top story right now is a major dam in a war zone having been destroyed. Given that this story is coming out right now... literally right now?


That story is below the fold, as a small subsection on CNN.com. Their current major top story is "New York City’s air pollution among the worst in the world." It's clearly a slow news day.


The "balloon shootdowns" during the Ohio toxic chemical train derailment.


"UFO/aliens" as in, extraterrestrial spacecraft, X-Files bs
