стать достоянием гласности(comment by ART Vancouver: Excellent way to translate this idiom; may I offer this rather fitting example?: "In a worrisome incident that unfolded in the skies over England, a Boeing 737 nearly collided with an unidentified flying object that came within ten feet of the airliner. The troubling event occurred back in September and came to light this week by way of a report issued by the UK Airprox Board, which is a government organization that investigates aircraft near-miss cases."coasttocoastam.comVLZ_58)
