Actually, it's you who are opening your eyes to it. My wife and I were the first on our block to get a VCR ($1,000!) in the early '80s and I started taping UFO shows, documentaries, news reports, etc. I have about 40 videotapes, some with complete shows and some with just UFO segments, particularly those of news reports. So, no, there is nothing new out there. You could say there are flaps in which it seems the way you perceive it. This usually happens before, during, and after such a show as the Roswell b.s., TAKEN b.s., UFO conventions b.s., natural events such as the recent Booster Rocket mis-identified as a UFO, etc. UFOs have been with us since time immemorial and they going to continue being reported whether the report is real or a hoax.
