Remember last year when the CIA released thousands of UFO documents online - under the new title Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). They did another "dump" or release in the middle of January. The documents were put on a website named the Black Vault. This is a private site by John Greenewald, Jr who has pursued interest in this area for decades. He has organized and made documents as searchable as feasible. He obtained them through Freedom of Information Act submissions. There are almost 2.2 million pages obtained through approximately 10,000 FOIA requests. Greenewold disputes that number. He has written a few books on the Black Vault available on Amazon. It looks like he has a radio show as well.
Last year's excitement in April was the release of 3 videos that showed training pilots following an unidentified phenomenon.
Late last year, Israel’s former head of space security claimed there was a “Galactic Federation” of aliens who didn’t want humans in their club. He also claimed that the heads of the U.S. and Israel were in touch with the aliens, and that the extraterrestrials had helped set up human bases on Mars.
The Smithsonian article about the Black Vault is HERE. The article also indicates that recently the CIA has separately uploaded UFO sightings and other inexplicable events to its FOIA Electronic Reading Room.
The history of UFO sightings is recent: Businessman Kenneth Arnold made the first widely recognized UFO sighting in 1947, when he claimed he’d seen nine objects flying through the air “like saucers skipping on water.” On the other hand, if you read New England Living today, their articles says the first sighting was in 1639 over Boston, then 1808 in Maine, and then 1961 in Vermont for the first alien abduction.
There are some websites that get one's attention on both sides of the UFO debate:
