  • (..) Experts at the Pentagon can't ID it. - We haven't been told the truth. - Here's the truth. A reporter got greedy for a scoop and went where she shouldn't have. Superman acted like some... rogue combatant to rescue her and people died. Don't invent a conspiracy theory to put back his halo. Or yours. (..)
