KGB's secret UFO files finally made public

Files comprising the famous Blue Folder have been declassified a while ago. The prominent Soviet cosmonaut Pavel Popovich got the folder from the KGB in 1991. These days Mr. Popovich holds the position of honorary president of the Academy of Informational and Applied Ufology. The folder contains numerous descriptions of UFO flights and reports on some (mostly failed) attempts taken by the military in order to catch the aliens.

Aliens acknowledged back in 1968
In 1968, 13 leading aircraft designers and engineers of a brand-new aircraft section of the Soviet Committee on Space Technology and Exploration forwarded a letter to the Soviet Prime Minister Alexei Kosygin. Actually, it was a request to set up a special organization for the study of UFOs. A reply to the letter was signed by Academician Shchukin. It is an amazing document per se:

"A number of competent organizations of the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences in cooperation with the Chief Directorate of Meteorological Service, Defense Ministry and a few other agencies considered the issue of nature of the so-called flying objects. The organizations involved in the study of the atmosphere and space have been instructed to register and do research on any cases of UFOs for identification purposes. The USSR Academy of Sciences is charged with general monitoring of the phenomena, and therefore a special organization for the study of UFOs is not required."

"It was a real breakthrough," says Vladimir Azhazha, president of the above academy and keeper of the Blue Folder. "The authorities not only acknowledged the existence of UFOs for the first time, they also showed their great interest in the issue," adds he.

1. Operation "Blue Book"="Blue Folder"... that is strange..

[sam sarrha]

2. my theory... the reason i've heard they wont reveal them is because it

would reveal that religion is a primitive superstition.. and that would throw the world into chaos..

but now religion is creating a worse chaos than the Alien's would, so it is time to flush Religion in favor for the positive changes Alien technology offers. which might have all the answers we need to survive our past stupid actions.

riding the world of religion would be like changing your socks after being on a Grey Hound bus for a week without taking off your boots.

I have to qualify that by explaining i suffer PTSD from torture and emotional abuse as a child in a fundamentalist extremist christian church

[bemildred]

3. LOL.

:thumbsup:

[acmavm]

7. Why would this mean that religion if false? Are we so arrogant to think

that humans are the best that God can do?

[Lerkfish]

13. the possible existence of aliens is not disproven nor disproves religion.

There is nothing in the bible which proscribes the possibility of life elsewhere. In fact, Jesus obliquely refers to "others not of this fold" to be gathered together at the end of time.
I've read nothing of any religion that strictly implies life exists here solely and nowhere else.

so I'm scratching my head at your statements.

Religion may or may not be true (depending on your beliefs), but certainly aliens would not disprove religion, as far as I can tell.

can you be more specific how it is you think otherwise?

[sam sarrha]

18. what they know disproves the power of the gods, their cosmology

doesn't include the gods as an element in the creation and operation of the universe or our living rooms or bedrooms

[Lerkfish]

21. "they" who? you're talking in shorthand, or riddles...

do you mean the aliens don't include gods as an element in creation? How do you know this? If they "know", how do you know they "know", and how do they "know"?
Are you in contact with aliens?

the rest of your post makes no sense to me....are you typing shorthand, is another language your native tongue, or are you being intentionally difficult to communicate complete thoughts?

perhaps you are an alien yourself and that is why your post is cryptic?

:shrug:

[SPKrazy]

27. Kind of Arrogant to think such things

just my opinion

[FreedomAngel82]

23. I also remember reading

somewhere in the OT of what seems like either a spaceship or a prediction of the space shuttle launching off. I think it might be in Isiah or something like that.

[Lerkfish]

24. probably Ezekiel.

Von Danigen (sp?) used Ezekiel as proof of ancient astronauts.

[boobooday]

15. changing your socks

Can I just add a little touch of Zappa? "changing your socks after being on a Grey Hound bus for a week without taking off your PYTHON boots."

[Ian David]

4. Nothing about the war between the faeries and wood nymphs yet? n/t

[Hardrada]

8. A water nymph is a naiad and a wood nymph is a dryad.

Is an airborne nymph a flyad? And a very active nymph a go-gonad?

[Ian David]

9. Now that the Chinese occupy Tibet, maybe they'll release the Yeti files?

Maybe he really is called "The Adorable Snowman" after all?

[Hardrada]

10. Or at least the Yak Files!!

[SpiralHawk]

20. That discussion is ongoing in the DU lounge

fer sure

[adolfo]

5. Whoa

Valid government documents that proves something is really out there. God, I hope space travel becomes a reality in this lifetime.

:)

14. right shiny,

captain!

(in my best Kylee voice)

I just finished watching Serenity for the 3rd time in 2 days. I'm going for the world record.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

6. cool!

[jobycom]

11. Sounds like the KGB trying to understand Q's latest inventions.

An Astin Martin piloted by James Bond seems an awful lot like a UFO to a Russian pilot just paid his monthly vodka rations.

In the Middle Ages everyone saw demons and the Virgin Mary, now everyone sees UFOs.

[Vidar]

12. Thanks for posting. Ignore the idiotic laughter.

[The Straight Story]

16. Laughter does not bother me, I am an alien myself

just hanging out on this rock watching lucy re-runs :)

But seriously, I hope someday we put this whole thing to rest - this is a step in the right direction.

[H2O Man]

17. Yep.

But I doubt that any government will be the source ofaccurate information on this type of subject.

[Beam Me Up]

22. You too?

Someday (sigh). . . I still have hope they'll come back for me.

:cry:

[Liberal In Texas]

28. Have them return Colter from wherever s/he came from too. n/t

[Beam Me Up]

30. Lizards. They're all alike: Blood thirsty, insidious deceivers.

They're not from my planet.

ROSWELL, NM, United States (UPI) -- Walter Haut, who as a young Army officer issued the press release about a flying saucer in Roswell, N.M., has died. He was 83.

Haut believed for the rest of his life the area had been visited by something 'not of this earth,' his daughter Julie Shuster told the Roswell Record. He went on to become one of the founders of the International UFO Museum.

A native of Chicago, Haut decided to settle in Roswell in 1946 after two tours of duty there.

On July 8, 1947, Haut, on instructions from the base commander, put out a press release about the finding of a flying saucer on a ranch near the base. Later the same day, the Army retracted the story, saying that what had been found was part of a weather balloon.

26. No Intelligent Life On Earth

The aliens probably visited Earth, saw that there was no intelligent life, and left.

29. Speak for yourself......

With all due respect.

31. Okay, now where is it you find those files? David Icke? n/t

I think we need more tin foil, dear.
