Today's Opinions   Wednesday, June 9 Yes, we're covering UFOs in this newsletter Good evening. We decided to give you good people a second newsletter today. Think that's strange? Whelp, so is what this newsletter is about. We're going to spend a little bit of time talking about the recent spurt in UFO news and the idea that we're in fact not alone and have somehow we found the topic Congress can agree on.  Hope you're having a good day. Here we go.  What if we told you aliens are bipartisan Today's editorial looks exactly at that unifying phenomenon.  Republicans and Democrats agree on almost nothing. They can't settle on how much is too much to spend on pandemic recovery, whether a commission is needed to investigate the U.S. Capitol riot of Jan. 6, or even what "infrastructure" means. But there has been an uncanny, some might even say otherworldly, meeting of the minds on one curious issue: What the heck are those UFOs flying around?  Lawmakers of all stripes are pushing hard for information from the military about those things in the sky the Pentagon officially calls "unidentified aerial phenomena." At the urging of Congress, a Defense Department report detailing whatever has been learned is scheduled for release any day now. (Spoiler alert: There's no evidence they're aliens, but there's also no evidence they're not.) Editorial cartoon on UFOs Andy Marlette USA TODAY Network USA TODAY Network • June editorial cartoon gallery: Cartoons on Biden, COVID-19, politics and more Don't roll out the welcome mat yet  Mick West, one of our opinion contributors, wrote last month suggesting that maybe we should look at these new reports of UFOs with caution and some skepticism.  If the quality of the leaked evidence is any indicator (and it probably is), then there's not going to be any significant revelations about the existence of physics-defying craft, and certainly no strong evidence of visiting aliens. While the genuine issues that former President Barack Obama raised deserve serious examination, there will be no disclosure because there is nothing to disclose.
