. . . FoIA-liberated documents from the Central Intelligence Agency show how America's stealthy strike force has had a keen interest in strange "aerial phenomena" from all around the world.
We're talking UFOs!
On the CIA's version of The Vault (the less sexily-titled "Electronic Reading Room"), you can find more than 240 publicly available documents related to "unidentified flying objects" spanning more than 50 years. The documents are a mixture of first-hand accounts from field agents as well as summaries of press coverage of strange, unexplained events. . . .
Previously on DVICE, we examined once-secret FBI documents from the Bureau's investigations into freaky, unexplained phenomena. These glimpses into the real-life X-Files were made public via various Freedom of Information Act (FoIA) requests and subsequently posted for all to peruse on the agency's online "Vault".
As it turns out, the FBI isn't the only government body with a history of investigating mysterious activity. FoIA-liberated documents from the Central Intelligence Agency show how America's stealthy strike force has had a keen interest in strange "aerial phenomena" from all around the world.

There's a lot of material to sort through and — unawesomely — as far as we can tell, there's no specific mention of phone-seeking ETs, killer xenomorphs or crashed alien spaceships. However, the memos do reveal a global post-Roswell paranoia regarding "flying saucers" — all taking place in the context of a Cold War technological-arms race. Here, we present some highlights from more than five decades of America's super secret spy agency's investigations into the worldwide UFO phenomenon.
