Background
On July 2, 2014, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) posted a tweet relating to UFOs, which was, needless to say, fairly controversial.
It read:
Remember reports of unusual activity in the skies in the ’50s? That was us. #U2Week #UFODAY http://t.co/SOiapRR0MX pic.twitter.com/dOQjQ6ePxr

I thought it would be interesting to see what exactly went in to the creation of this tweet. I mean, as The Black Vault can easily prove, this was definitely NOT the truth – so how could they justify posting it? There was no feasible way the CIA could account for, and be responsible for, every legitimate UFO sighting from the 1950s.
So, I filed a FOIA request to see what research was done, how they corresponded about it, and what their thought process was. I mean, let’s face it, if you make a claim like that, you should back it up, right?
Well, to my surprise, there wasn’t any proof or any sign of any legitimate research.
As these documents below show, one guy/gal had an idea, another guy/gal said, “I love it. Good to go.” And that was the extent of it.
