For example, news reporters will be serious and stoic in reporting a homicide story. They will use silly funny tones when reporting about Skippy, the dog who skateboards. They will use warm, heartfelt happy tones and smiles when reporting a story about a local person who has opened a soup kitchen for the homeless or some charity organization, or an act of heroism.

With ufo stories, they will be sort of unsure and use hesitant, puzzled sort of tones. Maybe make a nervous joke about it at the end, or ridicule it a bit for good measure. I don't know, i find it fascinating how people react to UFO's almost as much as what happened involving the ufo incidents themselves. Witnesses especially, because you can hear or see somewhat how it affected them by the way they tell their story. You can feel the emotion in them to some degree, at least i think i can.
