1,500 pages of UFO-related research were just declassified as part of a FOIA request
Encounters with UFOs have reportedly left Americans suffering from radiation burns, brain and nervous system damage and even an unaccounted-for pregnancy, according to a massive database of US government reports recently made public through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. The database of documents includes more than 1,500 pages of UFO-related material from the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), a secretive Department of Defense program that ran from 2007 to 2012. Despite never being classified as secret or top secret, the AATIP only became known to the public in 2017, when former program director Luis Elizondo resigned from the Pentagon and released several now-infamous videos of an unidentified aircraft moving in seemingly impossible ways to the media.
