A resurfaced document suggests the CIA was preparing for a potential alien invasion amid mass sightings across the nation, many of which were in Washington DC.

A section in the report titled ‘US Official Attitude to UFOs‘ says unexplained sightings were more than 20 times the normal rate in the summer of 1952.

Some Air Force members believed they were ‘interplanetary spaceships about to make closer contact,’ leading the CIA to persuade the military to use Project Blue Book to manage the situation.

Project Blue Book, which ended in 1969, was developed to investigate reports of aerial phenomena and determine if they posed a threat to national security.

‘To prepare the public for [the possibility of contact], 41 previously classified reports were released for publication between August 1952 and February 1953,’ the document states.

The CIA then moved to abandon the investigation in the eyes of the American people, using Project Blue Book ‘as a means of public ‘debunking’ UFOs.’

The group attributed most sightings to misidentified natural phenomena like weather balloons, aircraft lights or atmospheric conditions, and used TV shows and newspapers to spread the word.

‘By erecting a facade of ridicule, the US hoped to allay public alarm, reduce the possibility of the Soviet taking advantage of the UFO mass sightings for either psychological warfare or actual warfare purposes,’ reads the document.

The report states that the cover-up also allowed Project Blue Book to develop aircraft ‘that emulated UFO performances,’ such as anti-gravity which creates a force to counteract gravity and lets objects float or move without being pulled.

The document, ‘Scientific Intelligence – General – Unidentified Flying Objects,’ discussed how the US and Australia collaborated to investigate strange sightings.

It was recently shared on X by user ‘Disclosure Party’ who wrote: ‘Documents from the National Archives of Australia indicate the U.S. was intentionally withholding information about UFOs from the public in 1953.’

The first page explains that ‘the early analyses of UFO reports by the US Air Force (USAF) intelligence indicated that real phenomena were being reported which had flight characteristics so far in advance of US aircraft that only extraterrestrial origin be envisaged.’

A scientific panel chaired by Howard P Robertson met in mid-January to formulate ‘future action on the UFO problem,’ following the release of the 41 reports…
