President Obama’s Library Is Sitting On “Thousands” Of UFO Documents

A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request has revealed that President Obama’s library may possess “thousands” of documents on his administration, and the U.S. government knew and is hiding about UFOs!

Thanks to the FOIA request filed by John Greenewald Jr. of The Black Vault, a clearinghouse of declassified government documents, we now know that The Barack Obama Presidential Library claims it has “3,440 pages and 26,271 electronic files” possibly related to the existence of UFOs and related phenomenon.   

Greenewald asked the Presidential Library for “documents and communications about the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program and photos and videos of Unidentified Flying Objects, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena/Phenomenon, and the Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program.”

In response to his FOIA request, the library said it had “thousands of documents” that might be possibly related to this request and that it would take some time to sort through it all. Interest in UFOs has risen in recent years following the release of U.S. Navy videos detailing encounters with unexplained aerial phenomena. Last year, the Pentagon released a report claiming that not everything seen in the sky could be explained away by current science and terrestrial air and space technologies.

Obama himself is on record saying that UFOs are real. “When it comes to aliens, there are some things I just can’t tell you on air,” he told Reggie Watts during a 2021 appearance on The Late Show with James Corden. “But what is true is that there is footage and records of objects in the sky that we don’t know exactly what they are. How they move, their trajectory. They did not have an easily explainable pattern. So, I think that people still take that seriously and try to figure out what that is.”

With thousands of documents to go through and, presumably, redact, it might be some time before Greenewald Jr. sees a proper response to his request. As is most often the case with this kind of material, it’s also possible that the documents are mostly procedural and contain either nothing interesting or information that we already know.

Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pursued the truth of UFOs relentlessly in and out of office. A former staffer of Reid’s once told Politico that his lifelong quest didn’t pan out. “After a while, the consensus was we really couldn’t find anything of substance. They produced reams of paperwork. After all of that, there was really nothing there that we could find.
