UFOs and invisible ink: CIA shares trove of declassified files online

The CIA posted almost a million declassified files online this week, offering a fascinating record of unexplained UFO sightings and the agency’s secret operations.

Around 930,000 documents, totaling more than 12 million pages, have been posted online. Previously, the files were only available to the public at the National Archives in Maryland. Spanning early CIA history, the Cold War, Vietnam, and the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft, the archive also details a number of UFO incidents.

A ‘UFO’ search of the archive at Electronic Reading Room on the CIA’s website returns 1,738 items, the earliest of which is dated 1942. Strange sightings are described in files such as a 1966 file detailing an “unusual phenomenon” on the horizon near the border between Iran and the former Soviet Union.

FK – It it’s on Faux News it must be true, right?

FK – If memory serves my long ago research on Geller, very cursory, led me to think he was for real, at least to an extent. Anyone who denies the UFO phenomena is simply lying and not to be trusted.

Randi is an interesting fellow as well.
