The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) and the UFO Phenomena

Background

Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), I requested all UFO documents from The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG). The Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) is both the name of the independent federal agency that oversees all U.S. civilian international media and the name of the board that governs those broadcasts.

According to the BBG, their mission is “to inform, engage and connect people around the world in support of freedom and democracy.”

Since the U.S. Government has been pretty adamant about having no interest in the phenomena since the closure of Project Blue Book in 1969, I was surprised to find that they did have responsive records.

In the form of textual records, you can find the two articles that they had archived below.

In addition to these records, they also supplied a .mov file, however, I am entirely unclear on to the exact contents of it. The visuals are fairly obvious, but not sure if they reference a UFO in this story, or what.  Do you speak the language? Please help identify it and let us know what it says! I thought it may be Arabic or Farsi but not sure.
