Showerthought: A friend in Denver pointed out I was using the same three sources for every UFO argument.
He said, 'You sound like a broken record, man, you gotta branch out,' so I started checking the footnotes on those articles and found a bunch of older government reports I'd missed. Now I try to find at least one primary document before jumping into a thread. What's a good place to find declassified stuff that isn't just the usual CIA reading room?

What's the weirdest thing you've found in the archives?

Check out the Black Vault. That guy FOIAs everything, way more than just the standard CIA docs. Also, the National Archives catalog is a mess to search, but you can find some wild old Air Force project reports there if you dig. What specific programs or years are you trying to find stuff on? That changes where you should look.

The Black Vault guy has over two million pages of FOIA releases? That is a completely insane amount of paperwork. I tried to search the Archives site once for Project Blue Book stuff and gave up after an hour, it's so badly organized. I can't even imagine the effort it takes to file that many requests and sort through all that. It makes you wonder what else is buried in there that nobody has even asked for yet.
