PORT HENRY – A Vermont legislator has proposed creating an “X-Files” type task force that would look into not just UFOs, but the existence of Champ, the Lake Champlain monster.
Vermont Rep. Troy Headrick (I-Burlington) has introduced bill H.654 to form a state task force to evaluate reports of unidentified aerospace and underwater objects, assess airspace safety risks, and coordinate with federal agencies and researchers to draft future policies that deal with the phenomena.
