In 1980, though the US authorities did finally admit the loss of the Skyhawk and bomb, and also that NEITHER had ever been recovered, they still continued to LIE about the incident, in claiming that it had happened in 'deep sea' some 500 miles from land, when it actually occured only 80 miles off Japan's Ryuku island chain. |
Yes but, as all governments do, they would be operating under the (all but certain) assumption that most people forget about these things alarmingly quickly. Announcing that something has been "found" years later, then, only reminds people that it was lost in the first place.
