Documents / FOIA release
This file, held in the National Security Agency's UFO releases, is a magazine article titled "U.F.O. Files: The Untold Story" by Patrick Huyghe, a freelance writer in New York. The article argues that declassified CIA, FBI, Air Force and other agency documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show extensive government concern about UFOs despite official denials. It covers the 1975 base overflights, projects Sign and Grudge, the Condon study, CIA interest in NICAP, and the Ground Saucer Watch lawsuit against the CIA.
