Real-Life ‘X-Files’: CIA Posts Hundreds of Declassified UFO Documents

Scientists say they have detected significant amounts of molecular oxygen coming out of a comet, an unexpected find that may have implications for our understanding of how the solar system was formed and the search for alien life.

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) wants to join in on the fun of the “X-Files” returning to television by publicizing documents related to investigations of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs).

It split them into two groups: Incidents that would thrill “The X-Files” special agent Fox Mulder and those that would be welcomed by his skeptical partner, Dana Scully.

Fittingly, the reports are divided into two parts: On one side are those that extraterrestrial believers like Mulder will be keen on, such as a compilation of flying saucer reports; and on the other are documents that skeptics not unlike Scully might find intriguing, such as a Scientific Advisory Panel on UFOs.

“Most of the documents concern CIA cables reporting unsubstantiated UFO sightings in the foreign press and intra-Agency memos about how the Agency handled public inquiries about UFO sightings.”

“The disks glided in elegant curves and changed their position many times, so that from below they sometimes appeared as plates, ovals and simply lines”, the document says.

The five in Mulder’s list are docs he would use as evidence of extraterrestrial activity, and they include various saucer and ET sightings across the globe. The panel concluded unanimously that there was no evidence of direct threat to national security by the object sightings. I looked over a small fence and then I noticed a large object whose diameter I estimated to be between 13 and 15 meters.

He went on to describe the men’s shiny metallic clothing.

The height of CIA attention to UFO sightings was in the 1950s, but after that period, the agency paid marginal attention to extraterrestrial phenomena, admits ex-CIA Chief Historian Gerald Haines.

The files also detail a case of flying saucers that were spotted over what was formerly Belgian Congo. The whole object began to rise slowly from the ground, rotating like a top.

In this document, the panel said “balls of light” or “flying saucers” were believed to be electrostatic or possibly light reflections from ice crystals in the air.
