0:00.0	You're in the Paracast. You're in the Paracast, the gold standard of paranormal radio.
0:27.6	And now, here's Gene Steinberg.
0:31.6	So Tim, isn't it funny here how sometimes something that's in the news about strange or possibly strange events disappears, like the drones from New Jersey?
0:44.3	Now, we heard in December, one president said, well, it's just conventional things like FAA, etc., etc., were people with their drones. And then the new president, et cetera, et cetera, were people with their drums.
0:55.5	And then the new president in January, acting as if he was the originator of that statement,
1:01.7	says the same exact thing.
1:04.5	And we so far haven't seen much coverage, have we?
1:09.5	No, and it played out exactly like I predicted it was going to play out back in December.
1:17.6	I said that once all of this started getting good media attention, then you would get

2:04.5	So, I mean, you know, there could be continued sightings going on right now.
2:08.2	We're just not hearing about it because it's no longer the flavor of the month.
2:12.6	Well, I remember Lowe these many years ago where we had Bill Burns, who at the time was the editor and
2:19.5	publisher of UFO magazine. He's kind of disappeared from the scene and the magazine is long gone.
2:25.5	But he said he felt the UFOs were hiding in plain sight. And certainly if you flood the zone
2:31.9	with nonsense, even if there was something weird going on with these drones, it possibly would get hidden.
2:39.7	And certainly the other problem being the media, it's the flavor of the month, not the flavor of the month club, but the flavor of the day club, where something is really huge news one day.
2:50.2	And the next day, really hmm steve taylor
