Hello Jack,
I was too harsh in using the term "glibly".  Also it was not my
intention to belittle your experience as an observer of the
Washington DC events.
However, I think you may be unaware and therefore a bit naive
about some unusual apects of the Washington National events which
have been researched and documented in books such as Ruppelt's
which have never and may never be reported in the newspapers.
For instance I offer for your consideration the following passage
from Ruppelts The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, Chapter
12, The Washington-merry-go-round.
In some aspects the Washington National Sightings could be
classed as a surprise -- we used this as an excuse when things
got fouled up --- but in other ways they weren't. A few day prior
to the incident a scientist, from an agency that I can't name and
I were talking about the build-up of reports along the east coast
of the United States. We talked for about two hours, and I was
ready to leave when he said that he had one last comment to make
-- a prediction.
>From his study of the UFO reports that he was getting from Air
Force Headquarters, and from discussions with his colleagues, he
said that he thought that we were sitting right on top of a big
keg full of loaded flying saucers. "Within the next few days," he
told me, and I remember that he punctuated his slow, deliberate
remarks hitting the desk with his fist, "they're going to blow up
and you're going to have the granddaddy of all UFO sightings. The
sighting will occur in Washington or New York," he predicted,
"probably Washington."
The trend in the UFO reports that this scientist based his
prediction on hadn't gone unnoticed. We on Project Blue Book had
seen it, and so had the people in the Pentagon: we all had talked
about it.
end of Ruppelt quotation.
