When the inestimable UFO investigator Leon Davidson received the 1970 letter (from the Department of the Air Force) pictured above, he didn’t quite accept the idea that the military agency had abandoned the evaluation of UFOs (as stated in paragraph five).
He was right to be skeptical, since all that happened was a change of the designation of flying saucers from UFO (Unidentified Flying Objects) to UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), which is what the CIA, NSA, Navy, Army, and Air Force are still gathering reports about, and actively seeking to determine exactly what has been and continues to be seen in the skies over America and elsewhere.
Conspiratorialists think the United States government, in one agency or another, has some, perhaps much, extraterrestrial information, and actual craft/alien beings which it has kept secret since 1947, or before.
The evidence for secret portfolios is ample. The idea that the government also has downed craft and dead extraterrestrials is palpable, and not unreasonable to some extent.
But UFO investigators won’t find much by utilizing the Freedom of Information Act or pursuing a Congressional thrust to get government agencies to open their files or disclose what they’re doing about Unidentified Aerial Phenomena if they, ufologists (a chary term we deplore), continue to reference the enigma as UFOs or Unidentified Flying Objects.
A perusal, online or in situ, of various government archives will confirm the UAP designation and continuing study of the phenomenon known by the public as UFO, and we’ll be providing documents, here, to make the point.
