    This morning, Paul Harvey, a US radio newscaster with a sort of tabloid
    style, referred to recent observations of gamma ray bursts (apparently
    the visible-light bursts detected in February and early this month).
    Then he added, rather startlingly, that the US government has been hiding
    information about the bursts from the public, and at his noontime
    broadcast today he was going to reveal details about them (presumably
    including their source).
    
    I wouldn't have expected even Paul Harvey to say something so
    ridiculous and therefore encourage all the UFO believers and
    self-proclaimed abductees and the Heaven's Gaters to continue their
    rantings.  But I could not get to hear Harvey's noon broadcast, so I 
    don't know what he said about the gamma ray bursts.
    
    Did anyone else catch his broadcast?
