Sci-Fi Channel Looks for LGM in NASA Files

Posted by michael on from the weather-balloon dept.

SharkJumper writes "The Sci-Fi channel expects to file a lawsuit within the week against NASA. They are attempting to gain access under the Freedom of Information Act to classified documents concerning a 1965 UFO sighting in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania. The Department of Defense, Army, and Air Force are next on their list. Here's Sci-Fi's account of the story."

    Can anyone say "publicity stunt?"

    Can anyone say "Taxpayer-funded publicity stunt?"

    Look, every dollar NASA spends on lawyers is a dollar it could have spent on space exploration. And it's a dollar a government already trillions in the hole will have to spend. In a word, screw this.

    And as another poster pointed out, this could set an interesting precedent: Networks suing the government every time their ratings slip.
