And that was money I just didn\u2019t have as a teenager.<\/p>\n<p>So, I switched gears. I targeted the information the CIA had never released before. It was more recent, and quite possibly more interesting. But I had no idea what else they would have in store for me.<\/p>\n<p>In an in-depth and convoluted tale that stretched over the course of years, The Black Vault would finally pry loose thousands of UFO related documents that at the time, had never seen the light of day before.<\/p>\n<p>And recently, a data CD-ROM also obtained from the CIA by The Black Vault which compiled most of these records, was put online in effort to make the most simplistic and straight forward way to download them all at once for public consumption.<\/p>\n<p>And the internet\u2026 went wild.<\/p>\n<p>It took only a few days for The Black Vault\u2019s servers to be hit more than 101,000,000 times by nearly 1.7 million people. A record hit of traffic ever logged in 25 years of operation.<\/p>\n<p>What is in these records? Why is the public so fascinated? And WHAT did the media get wrong?<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned \u2013 you\u2019re about to journey INSIDE THE BLACK VAULT.<\/p>\n<h4>SHOW NOTES<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/documentarchive\/ufos-the-central-intelligence-agency-cia-collection\/\">UFOs: The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Collection<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vice.com\/en\/article\/pkdqjy\/you-can-now-easily-download-all-cia-ufo-documents-to-date\">Vice News: You Can Now Easily Download All CIA UFO Documents to Date<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/documentarchive\/all-ufo-documents-from\/\">The Black Vault: &#8220;All UFO Documents From&#8230;&#8221; Collection<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/documentarchive\/fbi-files-scientists-and-medical-professionals\/\">Dr. Leon Davidson&#8217;s FBI Files<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/documentarchive\/the-robertson-panel-the-scientific-advisory-panel-on-unidentified-flying-objects-convened-by-the-cia\/\">The FULL Robertson Panel Report<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/documentarchive\/chief-armed-forces-medical-examiner-saved-one-single-1994-ufo-article-this-was-it\/\">Chief Armed Forces Medical Examiner Saved One Single 1994 UFO Article \u2013 This Was It<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>SHOW GUIDE<\/h4>\n<p>00:00:00 &#8211; Beginning<br \/>\n00:02:46 &#8211; Introduction after the credits<br \/>\n00:05:02 &#8211; Origin to the CIA&#8217;s release of UFO documents<br \/>\n00:14:20 &#8211; The Media Coverage<br \/>\n00:20:00 &#8211; Were the CIA documents all released before and available?<br \/>\n00:26:02 &#8211; So what&#8217;s in the documents?<br \/>\n00:28:15 &#8211; Record proving physical evidence of some kind, piqued the CIA&#8217;s interest<br \/>\n00:35:46 &#8211; Heavy redactions and lost documents&#8230;<br \/>\n00:40:30 &#8211; Dr. Leon Davidson, the &#8220;Space Message&#8221; and his persistence<br \/>\n00:48:46 &#8211; UFO Encounter in Russia over Sensitive Biological Weapons Facility?<br \/>\n00:53:01 &#8211; UFO Encounter in the Belgian Congo<br \/>\n00:58:25 &#8211; The CIA&#8217;s Robertson Panel report and the 1952 era<br \/>\n01:04:27 &#8211; The CIA&#8217;s Monitoring of Global Media: the FBIS and JPRS<br \/>\n01:14:07 &#8211; What&#8217;s this all mean?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an in-depth and convoluted tale that stretched over the course of years, The Black Vault would finally pry loose thousands of UFO related documents from the CIA.
