FBI Destroyed Orfeo Angelucci Investigation Records
The Federal Bureau of Investigation destroyed two pages of records pertaining to contactee Orfeo Angelucci. This elimination occurred decades after Angelucci's initial claims of extraterrestrial encounters in 1952. The destruction was documented within the released file inventory.
Background
According to the file listing published by The Black Vault in 2025, the FBI destroyed records related to Orfeo Angelucci during 2009. Angelucci, who died in 1993, had been the subject of Bureau interest following his 1955 book 'The Secret of the Saucers,' which detailed alleged 1952 encounters with extraterrestrial craft and beings.
The file entry specifically notes that two pages of material were destroyed, representing a loss of federal documentation regarding early contactee investigations. This destruction occurred sixteen years after the subject's death and fifty-seven years after the claimed initial encounters, highlighting routine records management practices that have eliminated historical documentation within intelligence agencies.
