Conspiracy
theories are alive and kicking
The truth is out there — and it's now on
the web.
The
fabled Project Blue Book, the Air Force's files on UFO sightings and
investigations, have tantalized and frustrated extraterrestrial enthusiasts for
decades. But this week, nearly 130,000 pages of declassified UFO records — a
trove that would make Agent Fox Mulder's mouth water — hit the web.
UFO
enthusiast John Greenewald has spent nearly two decades filing Freedom of
Information Act requests for the government's files on UFOs and other
phenomena. On Jan. 12, Greenewald posted the Blue Book files — as well as files
on Blue Book's 1940s-era predecessors, Project Sign and Project Grudge — on his
online database,
Project Blue Book was based at Wright-Patterson Air
Force Base in Ohio. Between 1947 and 1969, the Air Force recorded 12,618 sightings
of strange phenomena -- 701 of which remain "unidentified."
