PORTUGAL
I heard the newspaper "Jornal de Noticias" had an article.
I also heard of articles in the UK, ITALY and SPAIN. Desired
info is the article itself and the position in newspaper/program
(size of headline, etc.).
Interesting facts:
- the French TV show: "Planète Forum" on 01.10.1999 incl.
Velasco, Lagrange, Ribes said nothing on COMETA.
- the scientific journal "Intelligence and National Security"
(Issue 14.2) printed Gerald Haines' article "CIA's Role in the
Study of UFOs, 19471990: A Die-Hard Issue" in 1999. The
"electronic Telegraph" reported about it on 17.08.1999 ("X-Files
version of history is backed by CIA report" by Michael Smith)
