About Those Recent CIA UFO Files…

You may be aware that the CIA recently responded to a FOIA request from The Black Vault regarding UFO documents. You can find the latest document dump here.

If you are unfamiliar with The Black Vault, we highly recommend you pour yourself a steaming hot cup of curiosity and peruse the many interesting documents they feature on the site. It is compelling reading.

Given the voluminous nature of the CIA documents, we decided to take a quick peek at the latest collection running a quick word frequency analysis. We had to take into account the CIA’s ultrafrequent use of acronyms, letter beacons, and other textual jargon that makes sense to their employees and government officials, but not the rest of humanity. A quick spot check of some of the files gave the impression the documents are heavily themed on the Soviet Union. The word frequency cloud verified our guess.

We left the phrase, or word, “ANON” in the analysis thinking it might be short for “anonymous.” Further review required.

Interestingly the words, “saucer” and “spacecraft” ranked so low that they didn’t make the cut in the main analysis (see Appendix 1), they are categorized as leftover words. They have a TF-IDF of 129.4 and 128.3 respectively. The word “UFO” clocked in at 674 instances of use with a TD-IDF of 268.4. Learn about TF-IDF here.

Clearly the primary focus of the documents was on the USSR/Soviet Union as part of the agency’s cold war monitoring of reports emanating from their various intelligence apparatus. China too. This would include UFO reports. But we are not dismissive, there are some very interesting nuggets in here that we found during the spot check of indvidual files. Discussion of advanced, exotic propulsion systems, a cold fusion test that was successful and discussion of a desire to implement them into saucer-like craft. As such, these documents will be added to the main Metron Deep Research document repository for other analysis projects of a more holistic nature.
