Third batch of declassified UFO files reveals sightings around the world were investigated

  • From my present point of view my view of this would be "Duh!" These Flying saucers and other shaped craft have likely been coming here to earth since before Earth had an Atmosphere. So, this is nothing new we are talking about here at all.

    If they wanted to exterminate us they would have done this thousands to millions of years ago. This isn't what they want. We are sort of like Deer are to us I think from their point of view. We live here so when they visit they have to deal with us in one way or another. 

    It's like yesterday we were looking at a house with a real estate agent and there was a deer enjoying the shade behind the house and didn't like the fact that we had a dog on a leash. So, if we were the UFOS visiting earth then the deer would be like us. It might see us and have any reaction at all including walking away which is what most people would do if they saw a UFO or someone from a UFO Craft.

    Third batch of declassified UFO files reveals sightings around the world were investigated

    The 72 newly released files date from the 1940s to this year and do not appear to contain definitive proof of life beyond our planet.

    The Pentagon on Friday released a third batch of vintage classified files related to “flying saucers” and other unidentified anomalous phenomena — better known to most Americans as unidentified flying objects, or UFOs — that the government has been hanging on to for decades.

    The 72 newly released files date from the 1940s to this year and showed that government investigators had looked into UFO sightings not just in the United States, but also around the world.

    The files contain more reports of UFO sightings from the public and more reports on the phenomenon from both the CIA and the FBI.

    In October 2024, at approximately 1851 local time in the northeastern United States, an eyewitness observed a light source below the horizon, hovering above a pond at an estimated distance of 2,700 feet.

    There is also a Defense Department memo dated June 2 in which an unidentified “federal law enforcement agent” working in the “western United States” reported seeing an object in the sky in October 2023 that looked like “the flying car from the Harry Potter series.”

    Included in the memo are AI-generated images of what the agent claims to have seen along with the caveat, “Please note, these are being generated two and a half years after the events.”

    But just as the two previous times when the government, at the urging of President Donald Trump, released two tranches of “never-before-seen” files on a subject that has intrigued Americans for generations, the new document drop will likely be a disappointment to those seeking definitive proof that we are not alone in the universe.

    “The official responses consistently state that, circa 1998, the U.S. Government is not aware of evidence supporting the existence of extraterrestrial technology,” one of the documents states.

    Like the previously released files, the new batch released Friday is housed on a dedicated government site, the Pentagon public affairs office said in a press release.

    “The materials archived here are unresolved cases, meaning the government is unable to make a definitive determination on the nature of the observed phenomena,” it said.

    The unearthed files include 29 from FBI, 18 from CIA, 12 from the Department of Defense, 11 from NASA, one from the intelligence community and a final document from an unspecified U.S. government agency.

    In addition to reports of supposed UFO sightings, this collection also contains references to historical, scientific literature addressing specific “UFO” sighting claims.

    One is a July 2008 sighting of a suspected UFO at Harare International Airport in the African nation of Zimbabwe.

    “Individuals debated if the sighting was an advanced reconnaissance device of a foreign government or of extraterrestrial origins,” it reads.

    “At one point during observation, ‘beams’ were observed emanating from object,” it reads.

    Then there is a file likely to raise eyebrows among those who believe the government has been covering up what it knows about UFOs. It contains a memo dated Jan. 9, 1958, that was written by an R.P.B. Lohman, who appears to be a CIA officer.

    In it, Lohman wrote that he had informed a Dr. Leon Davidson that “we cannot resolve his problems concerning the space messages and its transmitter because records on this matter have been destroyed by the evaluating agency.”

    Lohman also appeared to regret having to give this answer to Davidson, a scientist who was part of the team that developed the atomic bomb and later investigated reported UFO sightings.

    “We appreciate that there have been many cooks in the kitchen on this dish and that, as a result, the extraordinarily noncommittal and evasive answer we were instructed to give Davidson was perhaps the only one possible if we were to avoid crossing up previous statements of our own, and other involved agencies, to this man,” he wrote.

    One of the files shows that the CIA convened a “Scientific Advisory Panel on Unidentified Flying Objects” and contains correspondence and reports dated 1952 and 1953.

    “The panel’s primary conclusion was that ‘flying saucers’ did not pose a direct physical threat to the national security of the United States,” it says.

    The real threat, however, was posed by a “sensationalist press” covering the sightings and recommended an official “policy of ‘debunking’” to “strip the UFO subject of its mystery.”

    The FBI's 62-HQ-83894 case file includes investigative records, eyewitness testimonies, and public reports concerning Unidentified Flying Objects and flying discs documented between June 1947 and July 1968. The records include high-profile incident accounts, photographic evidence from sites like Oak Ridge, TN, and technical proposals regarding potential propulsion systems. Additional topics include convention programs, researcher accounts, and extensive media coverage from the period. This file is partially posted on FBI vault with more redactions and some pages missing. Included here is the complete case file with several newly declassified pages and only minor redactions.

    The oldest files in this batch date back to the 1940s.

    One from the Defense Department is an “Evaluation Study of the Phenomenon (Flying Saucers)” going back to June 1946.

    “Of some 210 incidents, 20 percent have been explained,” it says. “No tangible evidence which would support a theory that any incidents are attributable to activity of a foreign nation.”

    But it does not appear to rule out that any of these incidents are attributable to beings from a foreign planet.

    The second file from 1949 includes correspondence with then-FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and a Rev. Charles Barnes who reported seeing “four beams of light ‘converging in the Cascade Mountains,’ at an altitude of approximately 10,000 feet.”

    Barnes told Hoover he saw “a ‘great explosion’ visible at the convergence point of those beams for at least ten minutes.”

    In his reply, Hoover thanked Barnes for writing and informed him that he was forwarding the letter to the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC).

    Hoover suggested to Barnes that what he reportedly saw might be related “to a military or scientific experiment within the commission’s purview.”

    There are also excerpts from a November 1962 interview that legendary CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite conducted with astronaut Gordon Cooper, who piloted the last Mercury spaceflight.

    Cooper, in the interview, noted that “a large number of exceptionally well-qualified people have seen objects” without a “logical explanation.” He also speculated on the existence of other planets with “a livable atmosphere” and that maybe there is “some type of human life” out there.

    Cronkite, who died in 2009, covered most of NASA’s first forays into outer space and was later presented with a moon rock in recognition of his decades of covering the space program.
