NSA UFO document releases

The National Security Agency has posted its UFO-related FOIA releases, including signals reports and an internal 1960s essay on UFOs and survival.

1997 CE · 39.11, -76.77 · status: official

The account

After years of withholding records sought in court in the late 1970s, NSA released heavily redacted documents. Its online collection includes intercepts mentioning UFO reports and a speculative staff paper on the 'UFO hypothesis'.

The sceptical view

The material is largely redacted or speculative and adds little evidence either way.
