Official investigations into UFOs may have been confirmed, but there are still plenty of wild theories that remain firmly in the realm of fantasy.
For decades, Americans were told that Area 51 didn’t really exist and that the US government had no official interest in aliens or UFOs. Statements to the contrary, official-sounding people cautioned, were probably the musings of crackpots in tinfoil hats.
Well, score one for the crackpots.
The Pentagon has officially confirmed that there was, in fact, a US$22 million government programme to collect and analyse “anomalous aerospace threats” – governmentspeak for UFOs.
As reported by the Washington Post and New York Times over the weekend, the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program was a rare instance of continued government investigations into a UFO phenomenon that was the subject of multiple official inquiries in the 1950s and 1960s.
