Files from U.S. UFO investigations now online

Conspiracy theorists, UFO enthusiasts, and amateur internet sleuths rejoice! Forty-six years after the conclusion of Project Blue Book, a secret U.S. Air Force investigation into reported UFO sightings, the project’s declassified files are now available online for free. Project Blue Book launched in 1952, the third in a series of Air Force investigations aimed at scientifically studying UFOs and determining whether they were a threat to national security. But now, thanks to an American named John Greenewald, who displays over a million pages of government documents he’s obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests on his website The Black Vault, anyone can pore through all 130,000 Blue Book files without leaving home.
