coondoggie writes: You may not associate the Central Intelligence Agency with historical UFO investigations, but the agency did have a big role in such investigations many years ago. This week the agency posted an article called 'How to investigate a flying saucer." The release is part of a series of old documents dredged up as a nod to the return of The X-Files to TV this weekend.

  1. Other dinnerware needs equal publicity by mark-t · · Score: 5, Funny

    I feel compelled to point out that most dinnerware manufactures make a full line of dinnerware options, including plates, breakfast bowls, cups, as well as cream jugs and sugar bowls, all of which are no less capable of achieving flight than their line of saucers, however briefly said flight might be.

  2. Misunderstand what they were investigating by NotDrWho · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They weren't looking for little green men. They were looking for:

    1) Intelligence related to secret Soviet and Chinese aircraft testing (CIA)
    2) Information on just how much the public actually knew about U.S. secret aircraft testing (the military and FBI).
