James Fox to Announce $100,000 UFO Reward for Proof of an ET Spacecraft

I'm sure this will be collected quickly!

Filmmaker James Fox will make this announcement as part of the promotion for his upcoming movie The 701, inspired by the Air Force's two-decade UFO study, Project Blue Book.

The massive study into 12,618 UFO sightings, which ended in 1969, was able to explain away all but 701 of these sightings.

Fox, who previously directed Out of the Blue (2002) and I Know What I Saw (2009), will reveal the $100K challenge at the 22nd International UFO Congress (IUFOC), which begins Feb. 27, in Fountain Hills, Ariz.

The TV special ought to be worth several million, seeing as it would be the biggest bit of news the world has seen so far.
