Nicely worded and spoken, Billy. The fact that newsies did not dig deeper into both men's stories underscores once again their lack of curiosity concerning so-called fringe phenomena.
There were witnesses to Ilyumzhinov's mysterious absence. He was just being brought home by his extraterrestrial hosts when his driver, a minister and his assistant, who had arrived to pick him up for a meeting, were about to instigate a large scale search upon finding his apartment empty. He reappeared in a room of the apartment that had just been thoroughly searched.
The poor guy had to put up not only with widespread ridicule, but also pressure from certain Duma officials who were concerned he might have revealed sensitive state secrets to the ETs!
As for Talpazan, I've been fascinated by his paintings for years. His details of scout ship interiors match rather well with descriptions given by some of the early contactees - especially the pillars that stretch from top to bottom of the crafts. (Explained as the electromagnetic poles of the ships.)
Bottom line: the Great Taboo might be dissolving, but not yet enough to motivate newsrooms to look beyond cryptic Pentagon press releases.

Trog Three-Wolves sold me half a ton of maimed mammoth and never told me about the freezer burn. An old swindle but a good one.
