Great read! There's so much here, I had to read it twice. I'm not much of a UFO guy, but if every piece of reporting is as full of wild characters doing weird things as this was, I'll become one.

The title is what hooked me, so great job there. Only nitpick is: I think it could have been shorter, snappier. Something like:

Pentagon: "UFOs Don't Crash; We Shoot Them Down."

Thanks for posting!
