I was still wondering why this little paper in California would (still) be the only place with this news, so I looked at some of the reporter’s other big scoops. With stories like “[Montana Rancher Shoots, Kills Rare Mexican Chupacabra, DNA Tests Confirm](http://www.smobserved.com/story/2018/06/24/science/montana-rancher-shoots-kills-rare-mexican-chupacabra-dna-tests-confirm/3501.html)” and “[Remains of an Ancient Civilization Discovered on Mars by NASA’s Planet Surveyor](http://www.smobserved.com/story/2018/05/20/news/remains-of-an-ancient-civilization-discovered-on-mars-by-nasas-planet-surveyor/3455.html)” under his belt, it’s no wonder that he was given this big news too.

(Watch it be true now.)
