The New York Times is an American newspaper and global digital news organization whose 2017 reporting helped transform UAP into a sustained national-security story.
The New York Times is an American newspaper founded in 1851 and published by The New York Times Company. Its newsroom reports across politics, international affairs, science, culture, business, and investigations, supported by foreign and domestic bureaus. The Times’s agenda-setting reach means that publication can move a subject from specialist communities into mainstream institutional debate.
Investigative work at the newspaper combines interviews, documents, editorial review, legal scrutiny, and requests for official comment. Its authority is substantial but not self-proving; unnamed sources, compressed explanations, and later corrections still require close reading. Follow-up reporting is particularly important when an initial story reveals a program whose name, purpose, or bureaucratic status remains disputed.
In December 2017 the Times reported on a Pentagon-funded aerospace program, military UFO encounters, and videos later officially released by the Defense Department. The story brought AATIP, Luis Elizondo, Robert Bigelow, and Navy cases to a vast audience, helping establish modern UAP coverage. Later debate showed that AAWSAP and AATIP terminology, leadership, and scope were more complicated than early public accounts suggested.
The Times’s institutional role was not to prove an extraterrestrial explanation but to make official attention, funding, and military testimony newsworthy. Its reporting created pressure for government acknowledgment and opened a beat followed by many outlets. The enduring record includes both that breakthrough and the obligation to refine the story as documents and conflicting institutional histories emerged. The episode also demonstrates how high-impact journalism can create durable terminology before the underlying bureaucracy is fully understood. Later articles, public records, and corrections are part of the same institutional contribution. A responsible history credits the initial reporting while incorporating the distinctions that subsequent evidence made possible.
"WSJ's Joel Schectman is, 'blatantly lying.'" ~Dr. Eric Davis, to me and @GoodTroubleShow "The [WSJ] twisted our [NYT] story. Schectman has mischaracterized what our Times story actually said and we've told him a correction is warranted." ~Blumenthal and Kean (Last year, I reached out for a comment from Blumenthal and Kean regarding the WSJ's 2nd UAP article and claims about Dr. Eric Davis. They were nice enough to respond. ⬇️ ) "Upon reading the Journal's second piece, Blumenthal emailed @jo...
I’m open to extraordinary claims. I’m more cautious when someone claims extraordinary powers. That’s where authority, certainty, and money change the equation. Few human needs are more powerful than wanting someone we’ve lost to still be reachable. Perhaps, the deeper the human need, the higher the evidentiary bar should be? [Quoted] Leslie Kean.

Archive link: https://archive.ph/fHHXD Imagine an alien civilization that runs on dazzling technologies far more advanced than our own. Picture city-size starships, planet-wide mines or swarms of solar panels that harvest energy directly from a star. As these aliens go about their otherworldly business, the erosive forces of space wear down their infrastructure, loosening tiny bits of debris that detach and drift into the cosmos. If the civilization collapses, its remains degrade even faster....
