Creative Speculation

Never heard that about Miles. It explains a lot.

Back in the day, I was the night cops reporter at a medium-circ daily newspaper. Michigan was undergoing a pretty good flap, including an amazing radar-visual case where there were witnesses on land, including police officers, observing these bright, stationary lights over Lake Michigan. The National Weather Service guy told the police that they, also, had a lock on three objects hovering about 20 miles offshore. Suddenly, the things zipped off the radar and were over Wisconsin in just a couple of seconds. I brought up the subject with a weatherman contact and he said his colleague from the NWS radar office was re-assigned to Alaska for having talked to the press. The contact, a guy who'd been a source for a bunch of weather stories, never talked to me again, either. And I didn't write a story about that episode, at all.
