Intelligence on unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and extra-terrestrial life is now at your fingertips. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) — America’s premier spy organisation — has opened its catalogue of declassified data of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) to the public. These reports, which range from flying saucers to mysterious bomb blasts, can be accessed by downloading from the Black Vault website.
This mammoth trove of long-classified records has been made public months before the deadline given to the US intelligence agencies to submit a report on it.
Black Vault is a privately-run archive of declassified documents, operated by author and podcaster John Greenewald Jr. It contains many downloadable files on sightings and unexplained phenomena from around the world.
Greenewald Jr. said in a blog post that the CIA made a CD-ROM collection of UFO documents over a period of time. In 2020, he bought this CD-ROM to ensure the Black Vault has a complete records of CIA documents on “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAP), a term preferred by the US government to classify UFOs.
Even on their Twitter handle, The Black Vault had put up information related to the files, stating that this was “complete archive of ALL CIA UFO-related records going back more than a half-century.”
According to a Fox News report, the release comes months before the Pentagon was due to brief Congress on what the military knows about UAP.
Motherboard reported that Greenewald Jr, in an email to them, stated: “Around 20 years ago, I had fought for years to get additional UFO records released from the CIA” and it was like “pulling teeth”. This release comes at a time when Americans have shown a lot of interest in UFOs and extra-terrestrial life. Of late, there has also been an uptick in UFO sightings.
