Anybody have any background on this source? Is this credible?
Think may have a hint for you. The name is fictitious. Maybe a Spooky? Maybe, maybe not. You do raise a valid point with your questions and have done some research. With today being today and this report being this report, whom would blame someone reporting this information having a fictitious name and seeking anonymity? The people with the real names certainly aren’t reporting much to start a dialog to unearthing the truth (imho).
