FMPU Newswire: NY Times "Pit Stop" Article Shows Mainstream Media Letting Down Guard

Image
It's eye-catching when an article is printed in any of the big papers on the topic of UFOs.  In the many years of newspaper reading, only a handful of articles could be found and these usually arrive after a major event that becomes popularized, such as The Phoenix Lights and Roswell.   Much fewer of the in-betweeners,  as I call them, that explore the culture in any depth below the faint tint of laughter. The article is about Judy Messoline and her UFO Watchtower in Hooper, CO.  Was on a roadtrip just two short years ago and completely had no idea about this place or we would have fallen another day behind to make a stop here.  Anyway, the article has some unknown purpose -- if it's to save Judy by sending her, possibly, some new UFOnuts looking for a new place to throw a party, then yes, I have a generally positive feeling this article does not hurt.  Makes me want to hit the road, again, in fact I might do this at some point in 2011.  For ot...
