The US Central Intelligence Agency has
admitted that half of UFO sightings in the 1950s and 1960s were the country’s
U-2 spy planes.
"Reports of unusual activity in the skies in the
'50s? It was us," the CIA said in a tweet on Monday.
The agency explained that it was testing the spy
planes at altitudes of over 60,000 feet. The figure was not believable at that time.
According to the spy agency, the document explaining
that scenario was the most widely read document released this year by the CIA
from their database.
The U-2 spy plane is flown by the United States Air
Force now.
Some 104 U-2 spy planes have been built in total.
The Soviet Union shot down one of the planes in 1960
at 70,500 feet when it was trying to cross the country by going from Pakistan's
air space then Norway's air space.
In 1997, The New York Times said in an article that
the U-2 planes were developed to photograph targets from secret bases in
California and Nevada.
