Craig Melvin and a reporter just laughed through a segment

regarding a classified hearing on UFO's. That subject seems to always be reported tongue in cheek. As if it doesn't matter that military pilots and other credible witnesses report these phenomena over sensitive government facilities and areas of military exercises.
The subject is usually mixed with conspiracy and flat earther beliefs.

Laughing through a puff piece is normal. But it could be something serious. It's so unprofessional.
