Remember, the people are only anonymous to you. Reuters knows who they are. Familiar with means the sources read it but did not provide it or quote from it. FTA - the letter was sent from researchers to the board. The researchers declined to comment. Who does that leave?
It strongly reminds me of the UFO stories that were all the rage a few months ago, and that military guy who testified before Congress about what he had heard from other people. Did any of that pan out? It seems not.
I follow the UFO community, that stuff is still going on. The military man, David Grusch was recently on the Joe Rogan podcast where he talked about steps moving forward.
The next big thing coming down the pipeline is ensuring that "The UAP Disclosure Act of 2023" proposed by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer passes the house. Yes this is the real name of the act, and has already passed through the Senate as part of the NDAA. The opposition in the House is coming from members from districts with entrenched military/military contracting interests.

A group of Russian trolls/comedians have been able to cheat Western politicians and journalists into talking with them using deep faked webcam feeds and edited documents.
Most still remember the amount of ridiculous "anonymous source" bullshit stories that were pushed during the Trump years.
Honestly at this point I just assume all "anonymous sources" and the journalists who quote them are lying.
