UFO spotting independent politician could decide election.

I'm convinced that there is a concerted effort in the mainstream media to cover UFO stories more often.

This year, in the Melbourne Herald-Sun newspaper, there has been seven articles on UFOs - a lot more than previous years.

Check out this news article that talks about the tight election in the Northern Territory. By itself, it is uneventful.

However, page 11 of this morning's Herald Sun (Monday 11th August) has a small article titled "The truth is out there"

It goes on to say:

A UFO-spotting former chicken farmer could determine if Labor's iron-clad grip on state politics is at an end...
...Mr Wood formerly claimed to have seen UFOs.

Now why would the newspaper mention that he has previously seen UFOs? What difference does it make to an election result? Why doesn't the online article, which is linked with the newspaper not mention that he has seen UFOs?

There's more UFO attention in the mainstream media, here in Australia and it's making me suspicious.
