2,780 CIA UFO Pages Made Public via The Black Vault as FOIA Records Emerge

To the point

John Greenewald Jr. has made thousands of CIA UFO files publicly searchable—first by converting a CIA CD-ROM to PDFs for The Black Vault and later by adding records to the CIA’s FOIA Reading Room—featuring a 1976 UFO memo and a note about a late-night explosion in a Russian town, all within a long-running pattern of public and government interest in unexplained phenomena such as Project Blue Book and the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program, as a Covid relief bill now requires a congressional report on unidentified aerial phenomena and Greenewald argues that raw data lets people draw their own conclusions.
