Default Alienz R Reel!!!1!

Anyone else just browse through the online database of FBI files?

By the way, the Roswell file is here. It's interesting, I like how they kept it completely conditional too. :P The browse their database of records just go to FBI — The Vault

Anything interesting you find? I think it's cool that the FBI is releasing files to the public, files that won't be harmful to anyone that is.

[Hurray for the Freedom of Information and Privacy Act!]

Call me a conspirator but I dont think they would be releasing everything. Its just not what I think our governments best interested are. Maybe they are releasing just enough to make people happy, and those files might even be fabrications.

Fun fact. These documents were released under the freedom of information act. You can submit a request for the information about freedom of information act requests. So you can find out why the documents where released, the approval chair, and other information. That will give you enough information to piece together what was held back and possibly why.

One of these days I should submit a Freedom of information act request about my self. I have been interviewed a couple of times as part of friends getting a security clearance. It would be interesting to see what they have. Though likely not more than my name, address, and phone number, and what I said in the interview.

I think they release info that we already known about or had suspicion on, basic info, but not deep things that "we" wouldn't think about.

Yeah the Gov't doesn't release any where near the amount of information it has. Maybe after fifty years they will but the gov't is very slow to release even the most basic stuff. As for aliens, well duh there real. In all the space out there, there would have to be at least on somewhat civilized alien race.

They release things if you ask for them. If a secret was properly kept then they don't have to worry about it because no one will ask. There's probably a limit on how much info they'll give out at a time, so a general enquiry probably won't get you far.
