It sounds like Monday’s press conference went well , and people in the UFO community were generally pleased with many of the reporters’ efforts to document and discuss the topic in a professional manor… even if only for a short while.
Here is an excerpt from a report on the Pop Culture blog:

The UFO Disclosure press conference at the prestigious National Press Club was organized and run very well. Only accredited journalists were present, and each official or witness spoke to their personal experience concerning a craft whose origin could not be explained by anomalous weather, local military activity, flares, or commercial flight. Incidents ranged from a 1986 sighting over Anchorage by Japan Air Lines pilots and crew who saw a object with flashing lights that was six times the size of their 747, to a large disc seen by commercial pilots last spring at Chicago O’Hare that suddenly lifted up into the air above the airport. Panelists included former Belgian Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff Wilfried De Brower, Dr. Jean-Claude Ribes, who served 35 years for the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in France. two Peruvian Air Force commanders, and French astrophysicist Dr. Claude Poher. Former Governor Fife Symington of Arizona spoke last.

The Queensland, Australia, Courier Mail (14 Nov 07) published the story and coverage was both sensible and accurate without any hype. The two page article featured a 1981 photo of saucers in China’s yunan province. Previous pages dealt with the current federal election campaign so the story was run at a good level of prominence. I was delighted the story highlighted the pilots professionalism and the significance of their call for more information to be made public by authorities

It’s very disappointing that this may be one of few legitimate interactions between the paranormal community and the media we will see for quite a while…
