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)
