Government lied to public about UFO sightings, CIA admits

“Over half of all UFO reports from the late 1950s through the 1960s were accounted for by manned reconnaissance flights” over the United States, the CIA study says. “This led the Air Force to make misleading and deceptive statements to the public in order to allay public fears and to protect an extraodrinary sensitive national security project.”

Trump Exits Open Skies Treaty, Moves to Discard Observation Planes

In a move that could complicate President-elect Joe Biden’s options if he sought to re-enter the agreement, the Trump administration is taking steps to dispose of the two specially equipped OC-135B planes the U.S. has used to carry out Open Skies flights.

A senior U.S. official said the planes are being designated as “excess defense articles,” which means they can be given to foreign partners at reduced or no cost.

“We’ve started liquidating the equipment,” the official said. “Other countries can come purchase or just take the airframes. They are really old and cost-prohibitive for us to maintain. We don’t have a use for them anymore.”
