This thread was spun off from:
Historic UFO Encounters: Newspaper Articles
https://forums.forteana.org/index.php?threads/historic-ufo-encounters-newspaper-articles.65811/
The trivial reason for the spin-off is that this doesn't fit that other thread's theme or context.
The primary reason is that web presentation cited here is an example of someone throwing together an online pseudo-Fortean pastiche, probably just for likes / hits / laughs. This sort of thing is arguably anti-Forteana in the sense it makes little sense at face value, is easily revealed to be "fake news", and serves no purpose but to undermine and passively ridicule serious Fortean inquiry.

=====================
Note sure if this counts but one could argue that it's a digital newspaper:
https://upbeatnews.com/insane-classified-photos-that-the-government-was-forced-to-release
It's not really news, but reposts of a bunch of old photos. Allegedly all of them were considered "classified" at some point for some reason, possibly because if they were public people could figure out who took them and when and the govt wanted to protect the identities of their agents.
At any rate, some of them are interesting because it's a very non-X-Files version of UFOs. In particular the one with a USAF logo painted on it..
