KGB's secret UFO files finally made public
pravda ^ | 12/22/2005

KGB agents were making records of UFO observations in special Blue Folder

Files comprising the famous Blue Folder have been declassified a while ago. The prominent Soviet cosmonaut Pavel Popovich got the folder from the KGB in 1991. These days Mr. Popovich holds the position of honorary president of the Academy of Informational and Applied Ufology. The folder contains numerous descriptions of UFO flights and reports on some (mostly failed) attempts taken by the military in order to catch the aliens.

Aliens acknowledged back in 1968

In 1968, 13 leading aircraft designers and engineers of a brand-new aircraft section of the Soviet Committee on Space Technology and Exploration forwarded a letter to the Soviet Prime Minister Alexei Kosygin. Actually, it was a request to set up a special organization for the study of UFOs. A reply to the letter was signed by Academician Shchukin. It is an amazing document per se:

"A number of competent organizations of the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences in cooperation with the Chief Directorate of Meteorological Service, Defense Ministry and a few other agencies considered the issue of nature of the so-called flying objects. The organizations involved in the study of the atmosphere and space have been instructed to register and do research on any cases of UFOs for identification purposes. The USSR Academy of Sciences is charged with general monitoring of the phenomena, and therefore a special organization for the study of UFOs is not required."

"It was a real breakthrough," says Vladimir Azhazha, president of the above academy and keeper of the Blue Folder. "The authorities not only acknowledged the existence of UFOs for the first time, they also showed their great interest in the issue," adds he.

I'll bet Iran also has some secret UFO files they'd be willing to share with the U.S.

I would assume the soviets had collected film (gun cammeras on fighters), photos and trace evidence. I wonder if there is any mention in the folder as to the existence of this kind of evidence?

''I'd dream that I was trying to shower in the middle of a restaurant, and I would be trying to have people not see me naked. Same thing once on the beach. Also, I'd dream about just trying to find a place to shower and not being able to. I'd have this dream about once a month for a couple of years.

I kept thinking that it meant that I needed to cleanse myself and wasn't able to do so. I thought about all aspects of my life to see which part needed cleansed.

After my relationship of 9-1/2 years ended, I never had the dream again. It's been over 8 years, and I've not had one.''


Hilarious!

*mostly* failed? So some succeeded??? Once again a journalist is either weazely/lazy or misses an opportunity. Probably the former but the latter would be cool so secretly hope for that...
