Bruce Maccabee: The UFO/FBI Connection
Processing your request, Please wait....
During the early years of UFO sightings (1947-1955) the FBI collected information provided by the Air Force. As with the proverbial “black hole” or “roach motel,” information went in and didn’t come out. No one outside the FBI (and few within) knew of the Flying Disc File with reports labeled “Security Matter – X” – the REAL X-files. Not until 1977, when Bruce Maccabee received the Flying Disc file from the FBI as a result of a request under the Freedom of Information Act, did more than a couple of people know that in the early years there were top Air Force officials who secretly and seriously considered the Interplanetary Hypothesis. The FBI, because of its penchant for collecting and storing information, acted as a sort of “window” on Air Force activities.
Through the historical eyes” of the FBI one can see the internal struggle of the Air Force officials to make some sense of the flying saucer problem without publicly, or even privately, admitting that something unusual was really going on, something of potentially great importance. The FBI, too, “covered up” its initial interest in the flying saucer reports. When asked, in the 1960′s, whether or not the FBI had ever been involved J. Edgar Hoover, Director, said “no.” He lied. This lecture will present some of the early history of FBI involvement and the shocking revelations about the Air Force UFO investigation.
