In July 1997, Kent Jeffrey of the International Roswell Initiative sent President Clinton a petition signed by over 20,000 people — including three retired Air Force generals and two former astronauts — asking for an Executive Order to declassify any government knowledge of UFOs. The White House routed it to the Air Force, which replied that existing declassification rules under Executive Order 12958 made a new order 'unnecessary.' Withheld from the file: partial declarations from Edgar Mitchell
Released DoD FOIA records show NY Post journalist Steven Greenstreet pressing Pentagon spokespersons to verify Luis Elizondo's resignation letter and clarify AATIP, with a DoD spokesman stating the program 'did pursue research and investigation into unidentified aerial phenomena.'

NASA told Senator Grassley in 1998 that 'No unidentified materials were seen on missions to the moon' and that 'NASA has no program for investigating UFOs and has not withheld information on sightings' — part of a newly released government correspondence file that also encloses a 1976 article arguing the famous McDivitt Gemini-4 UFO was just the spacecraft's own booster.
An FBI FD-302 interview report, marked declassified, documents a witness account of two balls of light—one basketball-sized, one beach-ball-sized—observed at roughly 30 yards and 20-30 feet above the ground, moving laterally before disappearing abruptly, along with a reported 1987 red light that hovered and landed near a power station.
In its 1968 final report to the Secretary of the Air Force, the University of Colorado's scientific study of unidentified flying objects concluded that 'nothing has come from the study of UFOs in the past 21 years that has added to scientific knowledge.'
The enclosed responsive document is titled 'List of all cases analyzed by, being analyzed by, or archived at, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office. Current as of 12/06/2022.'
A declassified Project Blue Book record details pilot Kenneth Arnold's 1947 sighting of nine mirror-like objects near Mount Rainier, timed at 1,656.71 mph, and the Air Force's official conclusion that the phenomenon was caused by a temperature inversion.
A newly surfaced Project Blue Book record documents a July 1957 UFOB sighting over Fort Worth involving an Air Force RB-47 crew — and Air Defense Command's formal decision to carry it as 'unknown.'

An FBI FD-1057 electronic communication dated October 2024 documents an interview with an individual who reported multiple UAP sightings from their property, including a 2021 triangular light formation and a 1996 incident in New Mexico where a vehicle shut down and a large light shined on the occupants.
FBI agents surveyed a private property in the Northeastern United States after a resident reported seeing Unidentified Aerial Phenomena over three years, according to a newly released FBI Electronic Communication dated November 1, 2024. The document records that a trail camera on the property captured UAP activity facing west of the home, and that the resident agreed to allow equipment setup for time-lapse video during evenings when the phenomenon is often observed.
