I've a simpler reason to add to the list. You can beat a dead horse just so much. UFO reports and stories have reached the hoo hum saturation state. There's no beef to most of them, people and news outlets don't care unless they have some vested interest in promoting them. It's like the boy who cried wolf.

Also it seems impossible to verify anything.
Objects the size of aircraft carriers are reported by more than one person, and that is it. Finished.
No follow up.
The question becomes 'how exactly does one follow up on these things ?'.

Here is another thought on declining reports:
NUFORC Director Says UFO Reports in Decline, May Be Being ‘Intercepted’
by Brett Tingley
August 22, 2018
For whatever reason, UFO reports seem to be declining. That’s at least according to data released by the U.S.-based National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC). NUFORC recently published data showing that after steady increases in reported sightings for several decades, sightings began to sharply decline in 2014. That alone should raise some eyebrows, as the recent explosion of drone aircraft worldwide should have likely increased UFO sightings. What’s behind this sudden decline in UFO sightings? According to NUFORC founder and director Peter Davenport, reports of sightings are possibly being intercepted by government agencies or other shadowy groups which seek to conceal the truth. Is there a conspiracy afoot to suppress UFO reports, or has the public at large merely grown bored with UFOs?
As all things UFO-related, it’s difficult to say. A decline in reports doesn’t necessarily mean a decline in sightings or incidents, it just means that for whatever reason, the reports aren’t coming in to NUFORC like they used to. Speaking to Business Insider about the slump in reports, Davenport is careful to toe the line, stating that while there could be perfectly benign reasons for this decline, it may also be that something more nefarious is going on behind the scenes:
The significant decrease in the number of reports has baffled everyone investigating within the UFO field. They see the same trend and they’re all confused by it. It could just be that there are fewer and fewer incidents, but it’s also possible that reports to UFO organisations are being intercepted electronically. Who would do something like that is a mystery, but if it’s happening, my first suspicion would be government organisations. It’s quite risky for a government to do that, but you can’t rule it out, I think.
Might there be something sinister going on behind the scenes in order to squash UFO reports before they’re filed? There have been what seem like hints of official disclosure coming out of the Pentagon over the last few years – although many have their doubts about all of this allegedly “declassified” information. Are these so-called disclosures merely another smokescreen?
It’s difficult what to make of this decline in reports. Without much concrete evidence to go on (that we know of), it could be said on one hand that the UFO phenomenon is an entirely social construction, a narrative or myth which pervades our culture and reflects our attitudes and beliefs about our skies and what goes on in them, the universe, and the question of whether or not we’re alone in the black vacuum of space. Thus, a decline in UFO sightings could be said to merely reflect changing societal attitudes towards the UFO phenomenon; a decline in reports could signal a decline in belief of UFOs itself.
On the other hand, with countless sightings throughout history on nearly every corner of the globe, it’s hard to say that there’s not something going on over our heads we can’t explain. Are witnesses going straight to social media and bypassing NUFORC and other organizations, or might someone be actively attempting to suppress UFO reports?

I think the tabloids drown out genuine news reports. I think that could be deliberate. When people who may have themselves recently seen a UFO want to check if others may have seen the same, corroboration is searched for first, well if, as in my case here in the UK, you have to plough through 10 pages of reports from newspaper websites from the tiniest tabloid to the big shots, they are only interested in the clicks, you probably give up at this stage. I don't know what the online newspapers come up on the US search sites are, but I bet you could run through a few pages before you come up with an independent report.

Thelmadonna.
As far as I can tell, internet not included, TV news shows and old fashion newpapers do not talk about UFOs.
The only exception I can think of is when it was disclosed the Pentagon spent 22 million dollars on Harry Reid's AATIP with most of the 22 million dollars going to Bigelow Corporation.
Since 22 million dollars is a lot of money to me, I wonder what Bigelow came up with?
Since the federal government spends 4.5 trillion dollars a year, what is 22 million dollars to them.
