CIA releases thousands of declassified documents on UFOs and aliens
Yes, because we trust the CIA :)
The day has finally come for all UFO lovers and those who still believe
'the truth is out there'. The CIA has released thousands of declassified
documents on flying saucers.
The agency humorously noted that X-Files' Fox Mulder would certainly love to use them to prove the existence of extraterrestrials.
"We've decided to highlight a few documents both skeptics and
believers will find interesting. Below you will find five documents we
think X-Files character Agent
Fox Mulder would love to use to try and persuade others of the
existence of extraterrestrial activity," the agency said.
All the documents date from the late 1940s and '50s.
The CIA
picked several documents which may be particularly interesting. They
include files from East Germany (1952) where the agents were
investigating a story of "a huge flying pan" which had a diameter of
about 15 meters.
Another document which would cheer up extraterrestrial fans says
that similar 'flying saucers' were seen in Spain and North Africa.
"The picture [of the object] shows a diagonal stripe of diminishing
width and lighter in shade than the sky over the dark bulk of a building
cornice," the document says.

One of CIA documents explains how to take better photos of UFOs.
"Take several pictures of the object; as many as you can. If you can, include some ground in the picture of the UFO," the agency advised.
However, for those who sided with skeptical Agent Dana Scully all nine seasons, the CIA said it released documents "to prove there is a scientific explanation for UFO sightings."
The CIA has frequently organized scientific panels to discuss the nature of these allegedly alien objects. In many cases, the scientists concluded that "the subject UFO is not of direct intelligence interest."
