  I don't know what "National Enquirer" is about, but can
try to make a fair guess... :)
  I'm quite sure it's not the case, though. Not because
there are no talented reporters here on Earth, but mostly
because Potterverse is not our world (the primary proof is
the very existance of HP Series - either we assume there's
no Harry Potter on Earth, or we assume that all JKR stuff is
a complete fake created by MoM... nice thought... 8)
  But then we don't know what muggle newspapers are writing
in the Potterverse. They may easily get bits of information
here and there. Fat percent of that intel will be attributed
to UFO's, of course, some will be called "phenomena" etc.
Still, something _must_ leak - but again we don't know until
JKR reveals us that info.

  That's it. No wizards in our world. Believe me - I can bet
my wand on it.
