  I see your point.  In my opinion, the problem is that people do not like
"mysteries".  They like definite, "We know what it is" type of news. 
When the two "hoaxers" came out, the media covered it because it was sort
of the "Ah, so it was a hoax after all" type.  They dont want to report
news that says "There are a few objects going across the sky, but we have
absolutely NO idea what it is".

  So, I guess it's up to us to unlock the mystery, despite the skepticism
and ridicule.  In my opinion, it seems we've made the biggest strides 
into this than we have in any other decade.  Hopefully, we're close to
a breakthrough.
