Former Nevada Senator Harry Reid is continuing to make the case for renewed studies into the UFO mystery. 

Back in 2007, Reid and a few senate colleagues sponsored a secret Pentagon program that investigated mystery aircraft and related phenomena.

The program was based in southern Nevada, but that effort ended six years ago, and very little from the study has been made public. Now, the senator not only hopes the X-Files get released but thinks there should be a renewed effort to get to the bottom of things.

"I'll bet you anything that China is spending money to check this out I'll bet you anything that KGB Putin is spending some money checking this out," said former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

The chances of that ever happening are about zero. He's obviously unclear on the concept. In his own words, he states that the Russians and Chinese are likely pursuing this area of study. That makes the subject a national security matter of the highest order. The current trickledown pattern of occasional tantalizing leaks and teases is likely to continue.
