Barack Obama hides tens of thousands of UFO documents

The Barack Obama Presidential Library claims (https://bit.ly/3ua36ps)
it has “3,440 pages and 26,271 electronic files” possibly related to
the existence of UFOs and related phenomenon. We know this thanks
to a Freedom of Information Act request filed by John Greenewald
Jr., of The Black Vault, a clearinghouse of declassified government
documents. Greenewald asked the Presidential Library for “documents
and communications about the Advanced Aerospace Threat
Identification Program and photos and videos of Unidentified Flying
Objects, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena/Phenomenon and the
Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program.”
In response to the FOIA request, the library said it had thousands of
documents that might be possibly related to this request and that it
would take some time to sort through it all. Interest in UFOs has
risen in recent years following the release of U.S. Navy videos
detailing encounters with unexampled aerial phenomenon. Last year,
the Pentagon released a report claiming that not everything seen in
the sky could be explained away with current science.
Obama himself is on record saying that UFOs are real. “When it comes
to aliens, there are some things I just can’t tell you on air,” he
told Reggie Watts during a 2021 appearance on The Late Show with
James Corden. “But what is true is that there is footage and records
of objects in the sky that we don’t know exactly what they are. How
they move, their trajectory. They did not have an easily explainable
pattern. So I think that people still take that seriously and try to
figure out what that is.”
With thousands of documents to go through and, presumably, redact,
it might be some time before Greenewald Jr. sees a proper response
to his request. As is often the case with this kind of material, it’s
also possible that the documents are mostly procedural and contain
either nothing interesting or information we already know.
Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pursued the truth of UFOs
relentlessly in and out of office. A former staffer of Reid’s told
Politico the quest didn’t pan out. “After a while, the consensus
was we really couldn’t find anything of substance. They produced
reams of paperwork. After all of that, there was really nothing there
that we could find.
