Former Fox News host Steve Hilton is running for governor of California as a Republican "to make California Golden Again," the Daily Caller reported. Hilton will attempt to unseat incumbent Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in November 2o26.
Hilton announced his candidacy in a video on X, formerly Twitter, on April 18. "It’s time to make California Golden Again," Hiton began the caption for his video.
"We need some balance here after 15 years of Democrat one-party rule. Positive, practical policies that actually help people, not ideological crusades. It's why I am running for governor of California," Hilton added.
An American story
Hilton's video outlines his life story, starting with his background growing up in Britain, to his 2012 move to the U.S. with his parents, and ending with the sad decline of California over the pandemic. "It all started with freedom," Hilton began.
"My parents fled communism in Hungary. So I was born in England, a free country, but a country in rapid decline," Hilton charged.
He went on to mention that he graduated from Oxford University and later worked for then-British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who remains well-respected by Republicans. "She unleashed the spirit of enterprise in England," Hilton mentioned.
"She inspired me. I started a business, even a couple of restaurants. That is a tough business. Later, I helped elect a prime minister and worked in 10 Downing Street," Hilton added. These achievements would set him up for his 2012 move to California.
However, Hilton said the Golden State in "America, the home of freedom," didn't turn out to be so, thanks to mismanagement. "Look at these pictures — the chaos, the crime, the collapse of the California dream. This is not just any other state. California means to America what America means to the world," Hilton said over images of the masking and pandemic closures.
Taking aim
Hilton's announcement took aim directly at the politicians like Newsom, whom he blames for the mess in California. His video also included images of former Vice President Kamala Harris, who is rumored to be a contender for the Democrats in 2026.
"It’s time to end the years of Democrat failure. Let’s make California an inspiration, again, the very best of America," Hilton added, targeting Harris.
"There’s only one way to do that. We’ve got to end the one-party rule that got us into this mess," he said. The state has been under Democratic control since 2011, but Hilton focused mainly on Harris in another interview.
"She’d bring a lot of attention to the race and the issues that California faces. And I think that’s important that we can have a really serious policy discussion about how we turn things around and make California what it should be, which is the best of America," Hilton said.
California is a deep-blue state, but the chances for Republicans seem to have improved with every Democratic policy failure. Hilton may or may not be the man for the job, but it's promising to see the GOP energized at all there.
Jay Sigel, one of the most decorated amateur golfers in history, died on Saturday at age 81 from pancreatic cancer.
Sigel was native to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He got an Arnold Palmer Scholarship to Wake Forest University and thought he would go pro, but a hand injury derailed those plans, but he continued to play amateur golf while pursuing a career in insurance.
He won the U.S. Amateur championship in 1982 and 1983 as well as the 1983 Mid-Amateur and two more by 1986. Those followed up the British Amateur in 1979.
He later said that he believed the hand injury was the "best thing that happened" to him.
"Hands down"
He was a nine-time member of the U.S. Walker Cup team, which he captained twice.
He participated in a record 33 Walker Cup matches, both in singles and foursomes. Of those, he won 18, tied 10, and lost only five.
Sigel was also the low amateur three times at the Masters as well as once at the U.S. Open and the Open Championship.
“He was a dear friend and somebody that we will remember forever, and take a lot of inspiration from,” USGA President-elect Kevin Hammer said to USGA’s David Shefter about Sigel. “Best amateur since Bobby Jones hands down."
PGA Tour Champions
When Sigal was 50, he finally turned professional and joined the PGA Tour Champions.
He took the tour by storm, winning Rookie of the Year in 1994.
In total, he won eight senior tournaments including the GTE West Classic his first year and the 1996 Senior Tour Championship.
He ended up with $9 million in winnings as a pro, even though he was a senior when he started.
He remained a Pennsylvania resident, but spent his winters in South Florida.
In his own way, Sigel made a huge mark on the golf world that could probably never have happened if he had gone pro as a young adult.
As Joe Biden's tenure in the White House fades further into the rear-view mirror, more information is emerging about the lengths to which his administration went to curtail the freedoms most Americans hold dear.
As Fox News reports, Tulsi Gabbard, now serving as Director of National Intelligence, recently declassified the details of a Biden-era scheme to battle against domestic terrorism that critics say would have facilitated government spying on American citizens.
Declassification spotlights troubling details
The declassification of information about the program came as a result of a push by conservative advocacy group America First Legal (AFL) after it learned, via litigation against the Department of Homeland Security, of the existence of the “National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism.”
This Biden-era plan was borne out of that administration's assertion that the greatest threat to Americans was “right wing domestic terrorism” initiated by supporters of Donald Trump.
AFL sought declassification of the Biden plan due to its concerns about weaponization of power “by censoring disfavored speech on the Internet by labeling such speech 'misinformation,' 'disinformation,' 'hate speech,' 'domestic terrorism.'”
In the wake of the Jan. 6 unrest at the U.S. Capitol, the Biden administration “directed the U.S. Department of State, Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Department of Justice, and Central Intelligence Agency to 'obtain from foreign partners foreign intelligence and information related to U.S.-based violent extremism,'” as AFL noted.
“In other words, the Biden administration planned to outsource surveillance of Americans to foreign governments,” AFL explained.
Gabbard's move yields key insights
In response to AFL's effort, Gabbard took to X to announce the declassification of documents pertaining to Biden's plan.
“As promised, I have declassified the Biden Administration's Strategic Implementation Plan for Countering Domestic Terrorism,” Gabbard wrote.
Gabbard also declared, “Under President Trump's leadership, @ODNIgov will bring transparency and accountability to end the weaponization of our intelligence community.”
Notably, Gabbard's declassification shed light on the Biden program that even spurred criticism from the American Civil Liberties Union, which opined that its provisions were reflective of “the government's ever-expanding authority to surveil and monitor American communities....”
The program, the ACLU warned, encompassed “law enforcement guidance that permits profiling on the basis of race, religion, or national origin; and the use of abusive tools such as the watchlisting system against people for constitutionally protected speech and association.”
Staggering scope of strategy revealed
As AFL explained, “The Biden Administration weaponized the entire intelligence apparatus -- the NSC, ODNI, CIA, FBI, DOJ, and the State Department -- to target, censor, and silence the very people it was responsible for protecting.”
Andrew Block, AFL's senior counsel opined, “The declassified plan is further proof of what we have known all along, which is that the Biden Administration used the full weight of the government to target American citizens. AFL applauds Director Gabbard for her leadership in declassifying this document,” adding that doing so will, "bring accountability to those responsible and help restore integrity and faith in the system,” and that is something millions believe is long overdue.
Former child actor Haley Joel Osment was caught on video spewing antisemitic slurs and calling a police officer a "f----- Nazi" during an April 8 arrest, the Daily Caller reported. The newly released police body camera footage showed the "Sixth Sense" actor being handcuffed for public intoxication.
The 37-year-old was busted at California's Mammoth Mountain ski resort. Osment was arrested for public intoxication, but police found cocaine residue in his ski helmet in the course of the arrest.
The "Secondhand Lions" actor was uncooperative and initially refused to give his name to the arresting officers. "I’m an American," he told officers flippantly.
"Well, you’re under arrest now," the officer told Osment. Police cuffed Osment, whose ski pants were inexplicably unbuttoned and falling down as he struggled to stand up and follow instructions. He was taken into police custody only briefly and was later released.
Embarrassing Situation
Osment found himself in an embarrassing situation after ski patrol and the police were called to the area around 2 p.m. for reports of an intoxicated individual, the New York Post reported. They encountered the former child actor, who was combative and sometimes uncooperative.
The police video was heavily redacted, but it showed Osment hurling insults at police. "I’ve been kidnapped by a f------- Nazi," Osment yelled at one point and insisted he was "being attack." He also said the officers were "torturing me."
However, officers were using restraint even as Osment was causing trouble for them as they tried to do their job. At one point, they had to tell him to "use your legs and stand up" while trying to take him into custody.
Once in the back of the police car, Osment continued his tirade, telling officers they were "f------ with my life." He also used an anti-Jewish slur at one of the officers, insisting, "I was decent to you and you, and you are a f------ k---," Osment said.
Unfortunate Turn
Osment's life has taken a turn for the worse, but this isn't the first time he's had a run-in with the law over substance abuse. In 2006, Osment was arrested for driving while intoxicated after he hit a mailbox and overturned his vehicle.
In a statement to The Post, Osment expressed regret about his behavior during the recent arrest and said he would "promise to atone for my terrible mistake." He explained that he has been in a bad way since he lost his home in January to one of the wildfires in Altadena.
"I’m absolutely horrified by my behavior. Had I known I used this disgraceful language in the throes of a blackout, I would have spoken up sooner," Osment claimed. "The past few months of loss and displacement have broken me down to a very low emotional place," he added.
"But that’s no excuse for using this disgusting word. From the bottom of my heart, I apologize to absolutely everyone that this hurts. What came out of my mouth was nonsensical garbage – I’ve let the Jewish community down and it devastates me," Osment said
Osment is not the only child star to have a tumultuous adult life, but that doesn't make it any better for him. Hopefully, this latest humiliating encounter will be a wake-up call for Osment.
A top National Institutes of Health food scientist has abruptly retired from the agency over disagreements about his research, the UK Daily Mail reported. Dr. Kevin Hall believes it was because outcomes "did not appear to fully support preconceived narratives" under Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Washington, D.C. is reeling as Hall is a nutrition and metabolism scientist who was conducting studies on the impact of ultraprocessed food on obesity. He claimed in a post to X, formerly Twitter, that he was retiring because he received pushback on his research results.
Kennedy has been an outspoken critic of the food industry. He has postulated that the use of addictive additives that turn food into unrecognizable products that are hyperpalatable is causing significant health problems as America grows sicker and fatter.
However, Hall said his research study on ultraprocessed foods disputed the claims that these products are as addictive to consumers as drugs. Critics believe Hall's study was flawed, but the doctor disputes this claim, saying it's a matter of "censorship."
Public Departure
Hall pinned the post to his X account and laid out his case against the NIH. "After 21 years at my dream job, I’m very sad to announce my early retirement from the National Institutes of Health," he began his lengthy post.
"My life’s work has been to scientifically study how our food environment affects what we eat, and how what we eat affects our physiology. Lately, I’ve focused on unravelling the reasons why diets high in ultra-processed food are linked to epidemic proportions of chronic diseases such as diabetes and obesity," Hall went on.
"Our research leads the world on this topic. Given recent bipartisan goals to prevent diet-related chronic diseases, and new agency leadership professing to prioritize scientific investigation of ultra-processed foods, I had hoped to expand our research program with ambitious plans to more rapidly and efficiently determine how our food is likely making Americans chronically sick," the doctor claimed.
"Unfortunately, recent events have made me question whether NIH continues to be a place where I can freely conduct unbiased science," Hall wrote. He went on to say that there was "censorship in the reporting of our research because of agency concerns that it did not appear to fully support preconceived narratives of my agency’s leadership about ultra-processed food addiction," Hall claimed.
Research Findings
Hall conducted a 2019 study that found people ate more when the foods were engineered to be highly palatable. He launched a 28-day study and found that when the additives that made the food more enjoyable were removed, consumption decreased.
In 2024, Hall was set to share his findings, but he claims he has been censored. Scientists throughout the U.S. are studying whether it's the processing, chemical additives, or overconsumption of fat, salt, and sugar that are to blame for poor health outcomes.
A Boston Children's Hospital researcher and endocrinologist believes that Hall's original study was simply too short to be useful. It's easy to get people to modify their behavior for short periods, but it's common knowledge among scientists that long-term change is more challenging.
Dr David Ludwig said Hall's study was "fundamentally flawed by its short duration" and thus unable to provide adequate information. "If they were persistent, we would have the answer to obesity," said Ludwig, who believes that consumption of junk carbohydrates is the "prime dietary culprit" and that worrying about the processing itself is "distracting."
While scientists squabble over these distinctions, Americans experience poor health outcomes that have increased rapidly. There is too much money in the ultraprocessed food industry for quick change, but continued study could eventually break the spell of Big Food.
Judge James Boasberg determined Wednesday that he has "probable cause" to hold Trump administration officials in contempt of court for defying orders to stop a pair of deportation flights, Breitbart reported. Boasberg previously issued a temporary restraining order on the deportations.
President Donald Trump designated MS-13 and Tren de Aragua as terrorist organizations. He began deporting these criminal illegal aliens using the Alien Enemies Act.
Predictably, the left was incensed at the idea that criminals in the country illegally would be removed. The Soros-backed Democracy Forward organization and the American Civil Liberties Union represented five suspected gang members who were illegal aliens to challenge Trump's use of the law.
However, two flights had already taken off with as many as 300 of these types of suspected criminals on board. They were headed to El Salvador when Boasberg issued his temporary restraining order, thus making it impossible to comply with his order.
More Conflict
Although Boasberg tried to stop the deportation, the planes had already landed at their destination. Later, the Supreme Court vacated the order anyway, finding Trump was within his rights to use the Alien Enemies Act as long as those deported received due process.
Nevertheless, Boasberg announced in a memo that the Trump administration showed "willful disregard" for his orders. "As this Opinion will detail, the Court ultimately determines that the Government’s actions on that day demonstrate a willful disregard for its Order, sufficient for the Court to conclude that probable cause exists to find the Government in criminal contempt," Boasberg wrote.
"The Court does not reach such conclusion lightly or hastily; indeed, it has given Defendants ample opportunity to rectify or explain their actions. None of their responses has been satisfactory," the judge claimed.
Boasberg claimed that just because the Supreme Court later vacated his order doesn't mean the government could disregard it. "Instead, it is a foundational legal precept that every judicial order "must be obeyed” — no matter how “erroneous” it “may be” — until a court reverses it," the judge added.
He added that the move undermined the courts and contradicted the Constitution. "For the foregoing reasons, the Court will find probable cause that Defendants’ actions constitute contempt," Boasberg added.
Activist Judge
This inflammatory move from the judge is no surprise, as Boasberg has a history of decisions that Trump sees as judicial activism. According to Fox News, the Obama-appointed judge has a hand in several cases involving the president and his administration.
Last month, Boasberg was assigned to preside over a case between the administration and the National Archives and Records Administration. Trump took to his Truth Social on March 27 to rail against Boasberg's appointment to that case.
"How disgraceful is it that ‘Judge’ James Boasberg has just been given a fourth 'Trump Case,' something which is, statistically, IMPOSSIBLE. There is no way for a Republican, especially a TRUMP REPUBLICAN, to win before him," the president claimed.
"He is Highly Conflicted, not only in his hatred of me — Massive Trump Derangement Syndrome! — but also, because of disqualifying family conflicts," Trump claimed and later asserted it was impossible for him to get a fair trial anyway. "There must be an immediate investigation of this Rigged System, before it is too late!" Trump added.
The left is trying to stop Trump with challenges in the courts and other tactics. Whether Boasberg proceeds with his threat or not, he has escalated the standoff between him and the administration.
Investigators found that Betsy Arakawa, Gene Hackman's wife, searched for symptoms of the flu and COVID-19 in the days leading up to her death from hantavirus in February, the New York Post reported. Police have been combing through digital data, voicemail, and security footage in the hopes of piecing together the timeline of the tragedy.
Her internet search history indicates that Arakawa was looking up information such as whether nosebleeds and dizziness were associated with the common seasonal maladies. These searches occurred between Feb. 8 and 12, the day she is thought to have died.
Email records show that Arakawa reached out to her masseuse for advice on whether to seek medical intervention for Hackman. She also searched for Santa Fe health care on the day she is thought to have died.
The 65-year-old was the primary caretaker for Hackman, who was suffering from a heart condition and Alzheimer’s disease. Hackman, 94, died at home nearly a week later, and both bodies went undiscovered for some time after.
Solving the mystery
According to Fox News, the bodies of Arakawa and Hackman were found on Feb. 26 after both had been long dead. Before then, it appears Arakawa's Google history noted "multiple searches related to flu and COVID symptoms" beginning on Feb. 8.
Two days later, Arakawa searched "flu and nosebleeds" as well as "COVID nosebleeds and finally, "Can COVID cause dizziness?" On Feb. 11, Arawaka sent to an email to massage therapist Katia Van Horn indicating that Hackman had taken a "covid test" due to "flu/cold-like symptoms" but that the test was negative.
"But out of an abundance of caution, I should cancel my appt tomorrow and rebook, say, in a couple weeks, last week of Feb if something is available." Then, on the morning of Feb. 12, her searches included the prompts "How long do the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy last" and "Cloudberry Health Santa Fe, New Mexico."
Those would be her final searches. "This data suggests that Betsy was actively researching medical conditions related to COVID-19 and flu-like symptoms in the days leading up to her death," a report from investigators stated.
Police would find their bodies nearly mummified, with Arakawa's German shepherd dog still standing guard near her body. Pace maker records indicate Hackman lived for about a week in the house with her body before succumbing to heart disease and Alzheimer's.
Their final days
The condition of the couple's home has become fodder for the media, including Page Six. "Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa’s cluttered, rat-infested home revealed in shocking new photos," the media outlet captioned a post to X, formerly Twitter, on Monday.
Hackman's estate had been trying to keep the investigator's photos and police body camera footage out of the media. Now that it has been released, it's part of the late actor's legacy.
The home was certainly cluttered and infested with rodents, which likely contributed to Arakawa's death from a rodent-borne illness. However, it should be noted that the main house was not infested and that Hackman needed constant care, with his wife the only person around to do so.
This is a tragic story with many sad angles. Hackman was a prolific actor, but age and illness caught up with him as it does for everyone. By all accounts, this was a horrible end for a man so beloved by audiences.
First lady Melania Trump chose not to attend a baby shower in honor of stepdaughter Tiffany Trump's first child, the Daily Beast reported. Sources say that she opted to spend the weekend with Barron Trump, the son she shares with Tiffany Trump's father, President Donald Trump.
Friends and family of Tiffany Trump gathered in Palm Beach on April 6 to celebrate the mother-to-be. Several members of the Trump clan were in attendance, including Tiffany Trump's mother, Marla Maples.
"A beautiful day celebrating my daughter Tiffany’s 1st baby shower surrounded by love, family, and dear friends. Thank you, Ivanka, for hosting such a stunning and heartfelt gathering—a memory we’ll cherish forever," Maples, who was Donald Trump's second wife, captioned a photo of her with her 31-year-old daughter on Instagram Thursday.
Family dynamics
Noticeably absent from the festivities was Melania Trump, who is Donald Trump's third wife. A source claiming to be close to the family said this was because the first lady was spending time with her son Barron Trump while he concludes his second semester of his freshman year at New York University.
The source claimed this choice isn't "surprising" for the First Lady, who felt there wasn't "any reason" to show up at the baby shower. Moreover, Melania Trump "has her own schedule, even on weekends" which precluded her from attending the event.
Ivanka Trump, who is the child of Donald Trump's first wife Ivana Trump, hosted the Peter Rabbit-themed soiree, the UK Daily Mail reported. The Trump children from the different marriages seem to get along even if their parents' marriages didn't work out.
According to People, Donald and Ivana Trump were married for over a decade before their 1990 divorce. They had three children together: Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump. Their split was rumored to be because of an extramarital affair Donald Trump was having with Maples.
In 1993, Donald Trump took Maples as his second wife shortly after Tiffany Trump was born. Their marriage lasted until 1997, and Donald Trump would go on to wed Melania Trump in 2005 before welcoming Barron to the family in 2006.
The internet notices
The life of a first lady is not easy, and being a step-parent is a challenge, even under the best of circumstances. Still, the internet had no grace for Melania Trump's decision to stay away from Tiffany Trump's big day.
"Would you really want the woman your dad cheated on your mom with to come to your baby shower?" one user sniped under the Daily Beast's post of the article on Friday to X, formerly Twitter. Of course, this is entirely incorrect, but it is indicative of the kind of venom directed at the First Lady.
Another user compared Melania Trump's absence to Michelle Obama's decision not to attend Jimmy Carter's funeral with her husband, Barack Obama, earlier this year. "But when a former FLOTUS (Michelle) misses a funeral, suddenly everyone thinks they’re getting divorced," the user noted.
There have been several rumors about both couples, including a September 2024 report that the Trumps were getting divorced. According to Reuters, this was patently false and based on a fake Newsweek report circulated online.
Family dynamics are never easy, but the Trumps are arguably the most powerful family in the world. This makes news outlets and internet dwellers believe that a guest list at a baby shower is their business, even when it's not.
Kyren Lacy, a 24-year-old former Louisiana State University wide receiver and NFL prospect, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Saturday in Texas following a police chase, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office reported.
The Constable’s Office responded to a phone call from a female relative of Lacy who reported getting into an argument with him that ended with him shooting a gun into the ground.
Lacy fled the scene of the argument before police arrived, but they spotted him later in his vehicle and attempted to make a "traffic stop."
A police chase ensued for several miles until Lacy's car crashed in a residential area.
Found deceased
When police tried to take him into custody, they found him deceased due to the gunshot wound. “A handgun was recovered from the interior of the vehicle,” the authorities said.
Body cam and dash cam footage showed that no shots were fired after the pursuit ended.
Lacy was facing trial for a fatal hit-and-run of a 78-year-old man in December. Police accused him of negligent homicide, felony hit-and-run with death, and reckless operation of a vehicle.
A hearing to begin presenting evidence to a grand jury was set to happen on Monday, and this could have been weighing on his mind as the police chased him.
NFL plans
The accident would likely have put a damper on his NFL plans. He declared for the draft two days after the hit and run on December 19.
Lacy was ranked as high as the number 6 receiver prospect in the draft by ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. in December when he graduated from LSU after three seasons there.
His future held a lot of uncertainty, but he wouldn't be the first NFL player to have committed serious crimes and still been given the chance to play football.
More than likely, he would have been drafted in some capacity and played in the NFL if he could avoid jail for the hit and run.
Life cut short
Now he will never get that chance, having made the extraordinarily bad decision to flee police and possibly shoot himself (though that could have been accidental, caused by the chase).
Whatever happened, his life was cut short in its prime, likely due to the distress of facing yet another altercation on top of the trouble he was already likely to have over the hit and run.
The topic of UFOs has long captured the imagination of millions, and recent hearings at the federal level have only intensified that interest.
As Fox News reports, a declassified document that was posted on the CIA's website has only heightened curiosity, as it contains details about an alleged attack sometime between 1989 and 1990 on Soviet troops by entities characterized as “aliens.”
Bizarre account goes viral
According to the document, which is a summary of a piece published in Ukrainian outlet Holos Ukrayiny as well as in the Canadian Weekly World News, an otherworldly retaliatory attack launched by aliens took place after Soviet troops were said to have shot down a UFO.
The file posted to the website indicates that “U.S. Intelligence obtained a 250-page file on the attack by a UFO on a military unit in Siberia,” a report that “contains not only many documentary photographs and drawings, but also testimonies by actual participants in the events.”
As detailed in the summary, “According to the KGB materials, a quite low-flying spaceship in the shape of a saucer appeared above a military unit that was conducting routine training maneuvers. For unknown reasons, somebody unexpectedly launched a surface-to-air missile and hit the UFO.”
From there, things got weird, with the summary adding that the UFO “fell to earth not far away, and five short humanoids with 'large heads and large black eyes' emerged from it.”
Two of the soldiers at the site were said to have testified that “after freeing themselves from the debris, the aliens came close together and then 'merged into a single object that acquired a spherical shape,'” which in turn “began to buzz and hiss sharply, and then became brilliantly white.”
Turned to stone
Even more incredible is what the report says happened next, noting that “In a few seconds, the spheres grew much bigger and exploded by flaring up with an extremely bright light.”
It went on, “At that very instant, 23 soldiers who had watched the phenomenon turned into...stone poles.”
“Only two soldiers who stood in the shade and were less exposed to the luminous explosion survived,” the account explained.
The KGB's report further noted that the UFO's remains and those of the allegedly “petrified soldiers” were subsequently sent to a research institute near Moscow for further assessment.
Remarking on the contents of the memo was former CIA Mike Baker who expressed skepticism about its veracity, noting, “If there was an incident, regardless of the nature of the incident, I suspect that the actual report doesn't look much like what has now come out from five or six or seven iterations of what originally was [written].”
Official interest grows
The buzz about this particular document comes amid a wave of heightened interest in governmental knowledge of UFOs and similar phenomena, as evidenced by a House Oversight Committee hearing held back in November, entitled, “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth.”
Though that hearing did not yield any blockbuster information, witnesses and lawmakers alike emphasized the need for greater governmental transparency in sharing data about curious incidents with seemingly nebulous origins and also in safeguarding those who come forth to share their personal experiences with them.
