Summary

In the 1980s, a small group of citizen FOIA activists went up against the United States Intelligence Community in an effort to secure the release of secret UFO files. That effort, led by the Citizens Against UFO Secrecy (CAUS), was largely successful, although a wealth of secret files related to UAP were withheld by the NSA. However, now there has been a break in the decades-old case, with an announcement by the Disclosure Foundation regarding the release of hundreds of pages of previously classified NSA records tied to UFO investigations, after successfully challenging the agency's denial of a request for materials.

This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we look at what the new file release tells us about the NSA's involvement in the collection of UFO information over the last several decades, as detailed in decades-old documents, many of which had been classified at the highly sensitive TOP SECRET UMBRA level.
