The truth is out there: the X-files is real. Project Blue Book was a government project that sought to document sightings of UFOs by military personnel and civilians alike. Records were kept beginning in 1947 until the project officially ended on Dec. 16, 1969.
Although the documents relating to the project were already declassified years ago, they were difficult for the public to read because they were only available to view at the National Archives in Washington on 94 spools of microfilm. In the past, the files were made available on truth-seeking websites such as Project Blue Book Archive and Fold3.
Now, the archives of Project Blue Book are now more easily accessible and searchable by year and keyword on the Black Vault website where the PDF documents have been uploaded.
