Dennis Kucinich incurred a small newsworthy ripple recently when he was questioned during a recent democratic presidential debate if he had really seen a UFO.

An even more significantly reported UFO sighting occurred in Chicago on November 7, 2006.

Dan Aykroyd has long been lending his ghost busting credibility to the Mutual UFO Network (mufon.com).

Sort of a life following art come to life, Special Agent Fox Mulder.Unidentified flying objects have never been given much respect in mainstream media; just mention UFOs to the person standing behind you in the Starbucks line-up and youre likely to elicit a, "Huh? UFO?" and a smirk or maybe a giggle if youre lucky. Its true its rarely discussed with the same fervor as any other front page newsworthy story. But is all that about to change?
