The account
A veteran Times reporter, Blumenthal returned to the paper's pages as a co-author of the December 2017 article revealing the Pentagon's secret UFO programme, and later reported Grusch's claims with Leslie Kean. His involvement lent the stories the weight of an experienced investigative journalist.
The sceptical view
As with Kean, the reporting documented official statements and witnesses, not proof of non-human craft.
