UFO Sleuth Says US Government Knows More About Aliens Than It Lets On
Article by Harry Pettit February 8, 2021 (thesun.co.uk)
• Since 1996, John Greenewald Jr. has run the website, The Black Vault, (see here), where he has filed more than 10,000 Freedom of Information Act requests and published over 2 million sensitive files from the CIA, NSA and other government agencies. His trove of documents dates back to World War One and covers topics including UFOs, Bigfoot, alien encounters, the JFK assassination and the CIA’s mind-control research.
• Each month, The Black Vault site attracts more than 300,000 visitors, who download a combined ten terabytes of documents. Most are so heavily classified you can’t read anything on the page. “A lot of people get frustrated at that,” Greenewald said. “But that to me… proves that the phenomena is real, that it’s unidentified, and that it’s highly classified. Whatever it is, they just don’t want us to know about it.”
• Greenewald believes that there are plenty of secrets stored in the various national archives that agency staff don’t even know are there. “[T]here’s a lot of evidence to suggest that most government agencies don’t know what they have in their holdings,” said Greenewald. “The National Archive here in America alone, they measure documents by cubic feet due to the amount of information they have. So it’s hard for me to believe they’ve found every UFO document that they have.”
• The cyber detective has made his fair share of head-spinning finds. They include the story of an explosion in a small Russian town in the 1970s which ripped off roofs, blew out windows and left a 90ft-wide crater. Residents there reported seeing a “moving fiery sphere”. Another tells of a Bosnian fugitive who claimed to have made contact with aliens. Perhaps the site’s biggest scoop are files relating to MKUltra, the CIA mind-control experiments conducted on dozens of US citizens to control human behavior, often using hallucinogens like LSD.
• Based in the town of Castaic in Los Angeles county California with his wife of nine years, Sabrena, and two children, Christian, aged six, and Anabelle, two, Greenewald has tirelessly investigated the shady activities of US government sleuths since the age of 15. He wakes up at 4:30am each day to investigate unexplained phenomena the world over, juggling his hobby with his day job running an online business that sells earphones to gyms and schools.
• In January, Greenewald published hundreds more declassified CIA files containing once top secret information on sightings of UFOs across the globe. But Greenewald says that there are still reams of documents held by the government regarding UFO sightings that are yet to be uncovered, and that spy agencies know a lot more about “alien” encounters than they’re letting on.
• In an interview with The Sun, the 39-year-old revealed that some files simply go “missing”. “Often they search their archives and tell you they didn’t find anything,” said Greenewald. “You really can’t fight it and you just have to trust them.” “Sometimes, the evidence is so explosive that they don’t really search as well as they say they do.”
• “I once filed requests on DIA and NSA material on UFOs that’s been classified for years,” said Greenewald. “Both agencies told me the same thing: They ‘lost everything’. They just can’t find it. That doesn’t make sense, that doesn’t fly. The government generally doesn’t lose anything. …For them to claim (they’ve lost) UFO material is very convenient.”
• Still, Greenewald hopes that The Black Vault can educate the general public by giving them as much of the story as possible. He’s kept the website free and allows people to download anything from the site without charging a fee. “I want visitors to have as many pieces of the puzzle as possible when it comes to UFOs or mind control or whatever the topic is,” he said. “They want this information, and they should have access to it.” “It’s the most amazing feeling I get when people benefit from that.”
A SEASONED UFO-hunter who has spent 25 years exposing US government secrets says that spy agencies know a lot more about
“alien” encounters than they’re letting on.
John Greenewald Jr, who runs a website where he has published more than 2million sensitive files from the CIA, National Security Agency and more, said reams of documents regarding mysterious sightings are yet to be uncovered.
Based in California, the father-of-two has tirelessly investigated the shady activities of US government sleuths since the age of 15.
Last month, he published hundreds of declassified CIA files containing once top secret information on sightings of UFOs across the globe to his website, The Black Vault.
Within the pages are a bizarre story of an explosion in a Russian town in the 1970s, and a dispute with a Bosnian fugitive who claimed to have made contact with aliens.
Since 1996, John says he’s filed more then 10,000 Freedom Of Information Act requests to get hold of elusive government papers.
They date back to World War One and cover topics including Bigfoot, alien encounters, the JFK assassination and the CIA’s mind-control research.
In an interview with The Sun, the 39-year-old revealed that some files are so explosive that they simply go “missing”.
“Often they search their archives and tell you they didn’t find anything,” John said. “You really can’t fight it and you just have to trust them.”
“Sometimes, the evidence is so explosive that they don’t really search as well as they say they do.”
On top of that, he believes that there are plenty of juicy secrets stored up in the national archives that agency staff don’t know are there.
