Marco Rubio is Taking UFOs Seriously and He Thinks You Should Toohttps://www.newsweek.com/marco-rubio-we-cant-allow-stigma-ufos-keep-us-seriously-investigating-encounters-1590554"People think about space aliens," Rubio told TMZ in March. "For me there's stuff flying over military installations and no one knows what it is, and it isn't ours."
The report from U.S. intelligence and defense has a deadline of June 1, one that Rubio has said he is unsure if will be met. Asked about the release, Rubio's office told Newsweek June 1 is the expectation and there hasn't been an update.
But as he echoed to Newsweek, the stigma attached to UFOs is an impediment to reaching a hard conclusion about what the government is dealing with, one that goes back decades to a time when if a Navy pilot reported a sighting, he or she would have been sent to the flight surgeon "to check out your head and make sure you're not seeing things," as Rubio told Fox News earlier this year.
