Background

Through a FOIA request filed by The Black Vault, the CIA disclosed a compilation of unidentified flying object photographs that had been preserved within their classified archives. The release comprises 149 pages containing visual material from multiple cases across different time periods. While many images lack detailed contextual documentation and some appear to depict conventional phenomena, the collection demonstrates sustained intelligence community interest in aerial anomalies. The disclosure provides researchers with primary source material regarding historical government documentation of UFO sightings.
