UFO Expert “absolutely floored” by revelation from Obama Library

The news comes amid an unprecedented series of disclosures about UFOs

Newsroom March 18 05:00

A leading researcher into government secrets says he may have found the “jackpot” of documents on potential extraterrestrial encounters.

John Greenewald Jr., who operates The Black Vault, a website dedicated to revealing declassified government documents obtained via Freedom of Information Act requests, said he asked the Barack Obama Presidential Library for anything it has on UFOs and related phenomena. What he got back left him “absolutely floored”:

Jackpot.

The Obama Presidential Library just informed me they have approximately 3,440 pages and 26,271 electronic files that pertain to my request for #AATIP / #UFO / #UAP and #AAWSAP information.

If true, I am absolutely floored the Obama Presidential library has that. pic.twitter.com/Iybgq69L2y

Unfortunately, Greenewald won’t get to see any of those documents and electronic files anytime soon. In a followup tweet, he wrote that the library won’t let him view any documents in person and estimated it would take 16 years to fulfill his FOIA request.

“It took the wind right out of my sails of excitement,” he wrote on Twitter, and called on lawmakers to help expedite the request.
