Revisiting a 1965 Ufo?

UFO's are a topic for late night talk radio, conspiracy theorists, and space junkies. Bujt, what if they are real? Why is our government so secretive? And what was in that flatbed truck in Decemebr 6th, 1965? Can the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) help us now? Does anyone really trust the government? 


One winter night in Kecksburg, Pennsylvania, eyewitnesses saw a fireball streak over North America, bank, turn and appear to crash in western Pennsylvania. Then swarms of military personnel combed the area and a tarp-covered flatbed truck rumbled out of the woods. And we're not allowed to know what's going on? Who is the government and who are they working for anyway?   :-(


FOIA advocates are specifically asking for information on the Coalition for Freedom of Information (CFI) is pressing the Air Force for documents involving Project Moon Dust and Operation Blue Fly, clandestine operations reported to have existed decades ago to investigate UFOs and retrieve objects of unknown origins. Way back inSeptember 1947, Lt. General Nathan Twining, Commander of Air Material Command at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, wrote an opinion concerning 'Flying Discs' to Brig. General George Schulgen, Chief of the Air Intelligence Requirements Division at the Pentagon.


Twining wrote, 'The phenomena is something real and not visionary or fictitious'The reported operating characteristics such as extreme rates of climb, maneuverability (particularly in roll), and action which must be considered evasive when sighted or contacted by friendly aircraft and radar, lend belief to the possibility that some of the objects are controlled either manually, automatically or remotely.'


In addition to the 1965 UFO incident in Pennsylvania, in August 1967, an object described as a satellite crashed and was recovered in the Sudan under Moon Dust. In 1968, Project Moon Dust recovered four unknown objects in Nepal; and in 1968, a 'dome-shaped object' with no identification marks was retrieved underwater off Cape Town, South Africa. The metal object had been subjected to extreme heat and showed no signs of corrosion. NASA determined it was made of 'almost pure aluminum' and stated that the NASA analysis of the sample and photographs 'does not otherwise provide a clue as to its origin or function although it is possible it is a space object of US origin.'


Possible?


In 1970, a metal sphere that fell 'with three loud explosions and then burned for five days' in South America. It had 'ports' which had been melted closed. Also in May of 1970 State Department document describes a fallen, unidentified object in Bolivia, depicted in the newspapers as metal and egg-shaped. The list of strange anamolies is long and massive. And yet at every turn our government denies everything. Come on! A flatbed truck goes into the woods in Pennsylvania, in 1965, empty, and comes out with a tarp covering something and the government says nothing was found?
