Overview

The big news coverage wasn't about what was seen, but who said what. Dennis Kucinich became the latest US Presidential figure to make a public statement on UFOs. While Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter had been involved with UFOs (along with others), it was unprecedented to have a mainstream newscaster ask a major party candidate to confirm whether or not he had seen a UFO during a televised debate. Kucinich not only confirmed that he had, but got a laugh by saying, "More people in this country have seen UFOs than I think approve of George Bush's presidency." The exchange was discussed widely in the popular media. Similarly, Japanese government officials spent some time discussing UFOs in response to a written question.

Of course, it wasn't all talk. On November 7, police in Argentina reported seeing several small humanoids while investigating UFO reports in what has become known as the Irene Incident.
