Official EU request made to release UFO files

only reason governments don't release such files is because either A. The Aliens are hostile and don't wanna cause a panic B. There is no known contact/info

Applause

A. The Aliens are hostile and don't wanna cause a panic A UFO doesn't mean it's an extra-terrestrial piloting a spacecraft though.

It will be sad if they start the UFO commission to give the appearance that they are just beginning to investigate this "mysterious phenomena" and continue to play dumb for another 70 years.

It's some progress though, finally... at least they aren't signing a petition claiming that there was nothing unusual seen in all those cases! And the other topic, I support Psyko's statement - "Unidentified Flying Object" doesn't necessarily mean it's of alien origin, well, not all of them

Speaking as a historian, I'm in favor of complete disclosure on this subject, as many national governments have already begun to do, including Britain, Canada, Brazil, Russia, France and Denmark. I also think we need a similar commission here in the US, although we have already had partial disclosure through FOIA starting in the 1970s.
