A "whoo whoo" intro which could've been a trailer for trashy ghost story - but it wasn't. After heavy sarcasm from presenter Eddie Mair (a skilled, if rather bitchy BBC hit-man) came actor-like voices - old woman, child, village idiot - gabbling about "seeing things" - confusingly over-lapped, contradictory and ridiculous. The overall impression was of slightly mad people competing with one another in wild claims. It was a specially recorded piece (using actors?) to represent what? And why? Apparently this was the BBC's coverage - and the only "detailed" UK radio reporting I've heard so far - of FOI release(s) of MoD files of unidentified sightings - mostly from qualified and responsible people. But why the propaganda? The item - heavily biased ridicule & disinformation - shows what we can expect in UK: a public convinced that all sightings are "ridiculous" - convinced by big media (mostly controlled by Whitehall and the corporates - but not necessarily by Gov't). Once again - why?
