What's He Hiding?
Orrin Hatch, one of a dozen senators outed as being from outer space by the Weekly World News in 1994, has refused to back hearings that could blow the lid off the government's alien conspiracy.

It goes back three years, when Hatch denied a request from a constituent to hold a hearing on the alien presence.

It received a passing reference in a story yesterday about convicted-then-exonorated-then-pardoned Arizona Gov. Fife Symington III, who has made a splash lately for his claims of having witnessed a UFO.

"As you, I find the possibility of intelligent life on other planets intriguing; however, there is not sufficient evidence to determine whether such life exists," Hatch wrote to Ephraim resident Sterling Allen in 2004.

"Because we have no information about the nature, culture, and technology of extraterrestrials, we have no information on what activities on Earth might attract their attention.

"I have reviewed the information you recommended to me, and I can assure you that your concerns are unnecessary. The Federal government does not have any information about extraterrestrial life to conceal, and there are no secret projects for me to investigate."

I somehow missed it at the time -- or perhaps I covered it up to conceal the alien infiltration. The truth is out there.
