										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Background</h3>
<p>On July 2, 2014, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) posted a tweet relating to UFOs, which was, needless to say, fairly controversial.</p>
<p>It read:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-cards="hidden" data-lang="en">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Remember reports of unusual activity in the skies in the &#8217;50s? That was us. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/U2Week?src=hash">#U2Week</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/UFODAY?src=hash">#UFODAY</a> <a href="http://t.co/SOiapRR0MX">http://t.co/SOiapRR0MX</a> <a href="http://t.co/dOQjQ6ePxr">pic.twitter.com/dOQjQ6ePxr</a></p>
<p>— CIA (@CIA) <a href="https://twitter.com/CIA/status/484429844777037824">July 2, 2014</a></p></blockquote>
<p><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>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 &#8211; 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.</p>
<p>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&#8217;s face it, if you make a claim like that, you should back it up, right?</p>
<p>Well, to my surprise, there wasn&#8217;t any proof or any sign of any legitimate research.</p>
<p>As these documents below show, one guy/gal had an idea, another guy/gal said, &#8220;I love it. Good to go.&#8221;  And that was the extent of it.</p>
