In 1999, the Department of Defense Polygraph Institute (DoDPI) released a bibliography of audiovisual training materials used in their polygraph education and research programs. The document, issued in response to a FOIA request, catalogs hundreds of videotapes covering a wide range of topics related to lie detection, psychology, interrogation techniques, and legal considerations. The archive includes both instructional content and topical case studies, many of which were used as part of DoDPI’s formal curriculum. Among the entries are: “The DeLorean Polygraph” “Satanic Rituals” “Child Sexual Abuse Course: Inmate Panel” “The Massey Triad” “Countermeasures in Polygraph” “Trial of Serial Killer Jeffrey…

Background The assassination of John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, is one of the most significant events in American history. On November 22, 1963, Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, while on a political trip to Texas to smooth over frictions in the Democratic Party. The motorcade route through Dealey Plaza was planned in advance, and Kennedy and his wife Jacqueline, along with Texas Governor John Connally, were riding in an open-top convertible limousine when the shots were fired. Lee Harvey Oswald, a former U.S. Marine, was arrested and charged with the assassination. Oswald was shot…
A newly released batch of documents, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), reveals that a senior Pentagon official—identified by Luis Elizondo as the person intended to take over the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP)—later played a central role in classified UAP briefings, high-level meetings, and the creation of the Pentagon’s UFO office known as AOIMSG. That office would ultimately evolve into what is now the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO). This connection adds a new layer to the long-running controversy surrounding AATIP. Although Elizondo has long maintained that the program investigated UFOs and that he led it…
A series of internal Department of Defense Office of Inspector General (DoD OIG) emails referencing “UFO Whistleblower” David Grusch were released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) following a request filed by The Black Vault. The request, processed under case DODOIG-2024-000451, sought all emails—including attachments—sent to or from Randolph R. Stone, the Assistant Inspector General for Evaluations of Space, Intelligence, Engineering and Oversight, that contained the keyword “GRUSCH” from January 20, 2021, through to the date of processing in mid-2024. The released documents—75 pages in total—offer a limited but interesting window into the awareness and handling of Grusch-related matters…
The Department of Defense’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) has released a new assessment of the 2013 Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) event, concluding that the objects recorded on infrared video did not demonstrate anomalous flight characteristics and were likely “sky lanterns”. The incident, recorded by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) aircraft on April 26, 2013, has been widely analyzed since the footage was made public. The thermal video appears to show an object moving at high speed, splitting into two, and entering the ocean before disappearing. According to AARO’s March 20, 2025, case resolution report,…
