If there's any group that likes to give -- and get -- awards as much as Hollywood stars, it's journalists. But while there are literally thousands of awards handed out to members of the news media each year, precious few are reserved for weird news reporters.I speak from experience on this.
So three cheers -- or at least a hearty round of tentacled applause -- for my Huffington Post colleague Lee Speigel, who was just bestowed with the OpenMinds.tv Researcher of the Year award at the 21st annual International UFO Congress and Film Festival, which was held near Scottsdale, Arizona (which was apparently about as close to Area 51 as they could get this year).
This six-day event drew nearly 2,000 people from around the world, making it one of the world's biggest gathering if UFO enthusiasts.
Lee was given the award for his "outstanding contribution to the field of Ufology." And all I can say is, if more researchers were as dogged as Lee, the UFOs wouldn't stand a chance.
I'm proud to call Lee my friend, colleague and the 2012 UFO Researcher of the Year. May all your saucers land safely, Lee, and may you never be abducted unless it's for a story -- and in that case, make sure you write that story for me first.
