I always assumed that the whole UFO phenomena was something that the CIA had started to cover up black ops and secret experimental military aircraft. But then, a few years ago, the CIA came out with a public statement that they had started the whole UFO thing to cover up black ops and secret experimental military aircraft. So were they lying, they are the CIA after all, or were they telling the truth in order to mislead us about something else? I don’t know.

My hometown was hit with a rasher of sightings back in the 60's (though I didn't see one). A lot of the sightings were out on farms and the farmers (not a crowd given to silliness) were actually frightened by them.

If it was the CIA, they were wasting their time (unless perhaps spreading misinformation in a rural area and small town was their goal).
