U.F.O. Files Released by U.S. Shed Light on What the Government Knows

M'eh. 

I continue to be massively underwhelmed.

And at this point it's hard not to view any Trump administration release of anything as more than a mere distraction.  War going badly, fuel prices through the roof, airlines dying, and then there's those Epstein files. At this point it wouldn't surprise me if Trump pushed Melania off the White House roof it it distracted for a few days.

Friday, April 30, 1926. Bessie Coleman killed.

Famous African American aviator Bessie Coleman was killed along with passenger, her mechanic and promoter, William D. Willis when her Curtiss JN-4 crashed. A post accident investigation found a wrench jammed in the controls which jammed them.


The airplane was newly purchased and in poor mechanical condition.  Her friends had urged her not to fly due to the condition.
