Josh Owens

He was giving these incredible details.

He saw the metal rivulets glinting in the sun.

And so anyways, he formed this strategy of how we're going to get this out.

This is going to be huge news.

He said by the end of the day, it was going to be the biggest news in the country.

And so, you know, he started grasping at all of these ideas and putting them into this report he wanted cut together.

And he gave us a headline.

He told us what to put out.

He told the person who was covering the show for him that day sort of how to spin this narrative and how to make it a big story.

And by the next morning, it was as if it had never happened.

A local news station had reported that it was –

just a simple military exercise, a touch and go operation.

And I didn't understand what was going on.

As a viewer, you see these things and you think, oh, wow, this is a huge story.

And then maybe you don't tune in the next day.

Maybe you don't realize that it ends up fizzling and being nothing.

But while you're in that world, it's pretty stark to realize how something is portrayed as this incredible thing.

And then it just becomes nothing, fairy dust.

Let me be clear about that in every sense.

No inquiries were ever made in anything.
