As far as "best of 2014" lists go, the CIA has a pretty irresistible one: On Dec. 22 it started tweeting links to the 10 most popular articles of the year that it shared on Twitter, and the agency arrived at No. 1 yesterday, tweeting: "Reports of unusual activity in the skies in the '50s? It was us." The accompanying link directs readers to The CIA and the U-2 Program, 1954-1974, a 272-page document from 1998 the CIA tweeted a link to in early July, reported KAKE at the time.
The upshot of the report is that the CIA was the culprit behind more than half of the UFO sightings logged in the 1950s and 1960s.
As VentureBeat reports, the CIA tested its U-2 spy planes at 60,000 feet, an altitude that seemed impossible for man to reach at the time—leading observers, specifically pilots, to suspect it wasn't man up there at all.
VentureBeat highlights a portion of the report that explains that in the mid-1950s, most commercial airliners stuck below 20,000 feet; military aircraft kept it below 40,000 feet.

Ummmm, humans are dumber than they were 50,000 years ago. Brain size has shrunk measurably since then.
Pretty normal, really. All domestic animals are dumber than their wild counterparts.
They can afford to be.
You misspelled I.R.asS.
Sorry...Sorry...Sorry...Sorry...Sorry...Sorry...Sorry...Sorry...Sorry...Sorry...Sorry...
Take a look at Dolan's ten FOIA documents that prove the military was very concerned about UFOs and non-terrestrial violators of restricted air space, starting in the 1940s. Richard Dolan's history of UFOs is the best place to start when trying to understand this phenomenon. Of course, too many have chosen to be ignorant on what has been happening, to soothe the normalcy bias, thus they can just insult anyone who has done more digging.
“I assume he never found out the truth, or did he maybe.”
That’s an interesting question. Certainly wouldn’t want the current occupant to have unfettered access to all our nation’s secrets.
BTW, welcome!
You still use hydrogen not the zero point field? Silly negativist neybob.
Maybe.
Too terrible for even a rake like cliton to blab?
Paragraphs are our friends...
I heard he wanted to know who that chubby girl was in the Oval Office and did she have a blue dress. :)
He’s all about the bass...
Eggs Ackley!
What I saw as a kid was not :us!”
“Ack!” Ack ack!”
“And you assume there is peace between two or more races coming to this planet thus there would be no conflicting notions/agendas. Try to imagine a race of intelligent beings who have no spirit in their mortal soul. Such beings can advance technologically without advancing spiritually. If humans have a spirit in their human soul, that would make our species very interesting to all other species of technologically advanced beings not having such a dimensional variability.”
In essence, at least one of those races is inherently incapable of love, and all that such entails. Cold, dark, indifference.
I’m 59 years old and never saw what I would feel absolutely certain was a UFO and never believed in them at all. Then in the last 5 years I’ve seen 2 events that I cannot dismiss as anything but.
Because if they exists they got here... and we didn't get there...
Because they know that the only means we have of communicating with them is via Babble Fish translations......
It is intuitively obvious to even the most casual observer that humans are pretty stupid. Just look at current events or our history.
Besides, we think it is impossible to travel interstellar distances. Yet, here they are! They must know or understand something that we think is impossible.
Neither will the truly obstinate non-believers.
True.
Can’t ping him since he was booted off FR some time ago.
You forgot the Newton/Liberace Phenomenon, which turned an entire generation of little old ladies' hair blue and/or pink.
Until you can account for that, you have not solved the Unified Conspiracy Theory.
