» Strange Brew: NASA, UFOs and Lawsuits

Consider it as an eccentric mix of NASA, lawsuits and investigative “truth-seekers” delving into UFOs.

Under a settlement of a lawsuit against the space agency, NASA is diving into hundreds of documents in several locations to provide copies of what they find to Leslie Kean, an investigative journalist with the Coalition for Freedom of Information (CFi).

Kean has been seeking documents about the crash of an unknown object in Pennsylvania that occurred in 1965, now over forty years ago. During that time period, witnesses eyed a fireball in the evening sky, reportedly a controlled, albeit crash-landing, followed by a systematic military recovery of a spacecraft-like object. All of this adds-up to fueling a great UFO story and controversial cover-up saga.

NASA has entered into a mutual agreement with Kean to conduct an additional search for responsive agency records, foregoing a more formal court process. The space agency negotiated re-looking at records between the years of 1962 and 1967.

NASA has also agreed to seek any agency records that explain, describe, mention, name, reference or discuss such items as Kecksburg, Pennsylvania; December 9 or 10, 1965; Cosmos 96 - an errant Russian Venus lander that crashed to Earth after launching; “fragology”; UFOs; and/or Richard M. Schulherr, a purported official of Project Moondust - an effort that dispatched recovery teams into crash sites of fallen space objects.

    According to many people, NASA and the government are “covering up” the truth about UFOs. Most are probably mis-identifiactions of natural phenomenon. Some are probably classified military aircraft. A few might just be some weird stuff that defy known objects. What is even stranger still is the prospect that with all the witless boobs in the federal government, we could keep such a coverup of space aliens on going for so long.
