Real-life 'X-Files'? CIA posts trove of UFO documents
foxnews.com ^

Posted on 01/30/2016 5:04:19 AM PST by RoosterRedux

The truth is out there - the CIA is offering a peek into its 'X-files,' shining a spotlight on a series of once-classified UFO documents.

"To help navigate the vast amount of data contained in our FOIA UFO collection, we've decided to highlight a few documents both skeptics and believers will find interesting," explained the agency, in a blog post.

*snip*

The report from East Germany details "an object 'resembling a huge frying pan' and having a diameter of about 15 meters [49 feet]." The object landed in a forest clearing in Germany's Soviet Zone, according to the report.

"A smoke-trailing object over Barcelona" and an unusual object "emitting a pale green light" over the Tunisian city of Sousse are described in the report from Spain and North Africa.

Photos posted on the CIA website include an unexplained sighting above Minneapolis in 1960 and another above Sheffield, U.K. two years later. It also posted an image of a UFO investigation in Socorro, N.M..

Of more concern to the general public than Benghazi or Fast & Furious.

The ultimate distraction. Everyone would like to know but doubtful any information relates to any real issues of the day.

Here is a better, more succinct short instructional piece showing that the government has taken UFOs seriously for decades/ These twelve documents are proof that our government(s) have been lying to us for decades and ridiculing that which they at the same time took very seriously.

Unless, of course, the objects have some influence on earthly affairs ...

Here's the summary:

CONCLUSION: And What of Today?

In the last few decades it has become difficult to obtain UFO reports through U.S. government agencies. This does not mean that the U.S. military no longer encounters UFOs, only that detailed documentation about them is not easily forthcoming.

For instance, we know of a UFO sighting that took place in 1996 at Griffis Air Force Base, in upstate New York. Researcher John Greenwald sent a FOIA request to the United States Space Command at Peterson Air Force Base, and received a slim “Summary of Unusual Sightings” report. The sightings only covered 1995 and 1996, all rendered in concise form. The entry for Griffis states:

“16 May 96 0800Z. Received call of UFO sighting at Griffis AFB NY. Four enlisted men observed circular orange light just above tree line ESE of their location. Five minutes total hovered and then disappeared. Reported via CONR/NEADS.”

The Griffis encounter is by no means spectacular. However, it does prove, as Greenwald pointed out, “that the Air Force [continues to take] an interest and still sees the UFO phenomenon.”

Much more interesting was the failed attempt by F-16 jets to intercept UFOs near Washington, D.C., during the night of July 25/26, 2002. Many witnesses phoned their local radio station about it, and the incident was briefly reported in The Washington Post. I spoke face-to-face with the first known witness, retired police officer Gary Dillman, who told me he saw four F-16s chasing several objects that easily outperformed them. They left the area, but later two F-16s reappeared, pursuing a single UFO. Later, other witnesses saw two F-16s chasing an unknown bluish object that easily outmaneuvered and outdistanced the F-16s.

An Air Force spokesperson even told The Washington Post that a UFO had been tracked on Air Force radar, but disappeared. Nevertheless, the Air Force blithely commented that :there are any number of scenarios, but we don’t know what it was.” Surely, one might be curious!

No official documentation on this encounter is available, but it happened just the same. This encounter was not from the 1950s, but the post-9/11 era. An object of extraordinary capability eluded interceptors in the vicinity of the nation’s capital, with only the barest of whispers from the nation’s media.

Of course, it is not only the military of the U.S. that encounters UFOs. These types of events occur everywhere. My most recent book, UFOs and the National Security State: The Cover-Up Exposed, 1973-1991, details many of these.

The foregoing should make it clear that UFOs have been a consistent and significant thread of our “hidden history.” They have attracted serious attention from the militaries of the world, in particular that of the United States. And yet, this powerful interest is equaled by an absolute refusal to acknowledge the phenomenon publicly.

It doesn’t take a political genius to recognize that there is a discrepancy here. Nor to begin the process of filling in the blanks: that there is reasonable cause to believe that a technology not belonging to any known terrestrial power has been operating in our civilization, and that at least a few people in positions of authority are well aware of this.

From the CIA files comes this image taken in Sheffield, England on March 4, 1962.

Yeah well if world leaders are actually Reptilians from the Pleiades I guess that would be a game changer.Until then Jeff Rense is still mostly full of BS.

I’m curious when FR is going to fix this stupid problem with rendering text. It’s beyond ridiculous.

They’re not extraterrestrial but rather man made and coming from a hidden base deep in the Antarctic which was built by Nazi scientists towards the end of WW II..........well, it’s possible.

According to some UFO theorists the Reptilians came from outside our solar system in a hollowed out body. They parked it in a perfect orbit around Earth. We call it the Moon ...

See the short vid on youtube about Strange Moon Facts - mostly factual, until they get into the speculative bits.

"A smoke-trailing object over Barcelona"

"emitting a pale green light"

I know the Bible talks of a place that has smoke rising from it,
and an entity who's description is that of "an angel of light.
Of course that's just a bunch of religious nonsense
and impossible for there to be any relation.

Right?

The object landed in a forest clearing in Germany's Soviet Zone, according to the report.

Well, that explains Angela Merkel.

I honestly miss “Quix”.

We had some heated debates and he went off the rails at times.

But he always came back and apologized for being “overly demonstrative”.
