CIA releases thousands of UFO documents

Sorry!  Just a bunch of reports.  No proof.

The truth is out there. Well, maybe. Thousands of documents from the CIA on unidentified flying objects were released this week in a document dump that the agency says includes all their records on UFOs.

The documents are currently available on the Black Vault, an online archive of declassified government documents, after the site’s founder John Greenewald Jr, purchased a CD-Rom the CIA had made with its UFO documents. About 2,700 pages were included in the collection, what the agency says are all the files it has on UFOs, but Greenewald notes on his website that “there may be no way to entirely verify that”.

Some of the reports, including one about mysterious explosions in a Russian town and another with a first-hand account of a strange sighting of a flying object near Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, are the sort of reads that you might expect to find in a science fiction novel rather than official government documents. But some of the documents are difficult to read, and what exactly they were used for is unclear. Greenewald told Vice’s Motherboard that the intelligence agency put the documents together in an “outdated” format that makes it hard to parse the collection.

“The CIA has made it INCREDIBLY difficult to use their records in a reasonable manner,” he wrote to Motherboard. “This outdated format makes it very difficult for people to see the documents, and use them, for any research purpose.”

The document dump comes just as UFOs – or, as the US government calls them, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) – seem to have caught the attention of lawmakers in Congress.

Possibly, I’ve seen too much.

Thanks for posting this. I most certainly will dig into it!

Thanks for posting this, really interesting.  On the lighter side of this, I just found this picture: https://twitter.com/trashytrashrat/status/1254811420824268800/photo/1

If they come, it won’t be a secret or a mystery, it will be like Humans coming over to a family of apes. They will be literally light years ahead of us if they have the rocket propulsion capabilities to make it here in any type of craft that is agile or evades detection. Whew, like blow your mind advanced, I get giddy thinking of what we could learn if there was a way they could communicate with us peacefully.

Well a lot of the reports and stories involve localized time manipulation.  People in close proximity to them report missing time, while human observers from far away see them directly interacting with the aliens in strange ways.  If you try to approach them, you just suddenly lose 6-12 hours of time and you have no idea what happened.  That also causes people to speculate that if this stuff is real, they aren't traveling across the galaxy at all but evolved here on Earth or in the solar system at some point future or past and just time travel to today.

Then you run into the usual stuff like no one ever photographs or videos them at all and you realize its a bunch of malarkey.

It is malarkey but you bring up some interesting ideas. For all we know stuff like men in black memory wiping and such like you said is within their capabilities. When dealing with stuff here on earth I deal in absolutes based on what we know about science and physics. But theorizing about aliens from potentially another galaxy well anything is possible. Even science fiction stuff like teleporting, magic etc it’s all within reason if coming from that far away, we can’t say what’s out there. Pretty wild stuff to think about.

Well fiction has had decades to come up with fascinating ideas but at this point we'd have hard photographic and video evidence by now which we dont have so its a joke.
