POSTED: 4:57 p.m. EDT June 23, 2003
NEW YORK -- The Sci Fi Channel is getting serious about UFOs.
The cable network wants the government to be more aggressive in investigating UFO reports, and has even hired a Washington lobbyist and may sue to declassify secret U.S. Air Force documents.
Lobbyist Ed Rothschild admits the topic of flying saucers still has a high giggle factor in the halls of Congress. He won't name the members of Congress he's talking to about the issue. Rothschild is afraid the lawmakers will be laughed at.
The network is airing a program Tuesday night titled, "Out of the Blue." It looks at a supposed UFO crash in Pennsylvania in 1965.
