In June 2023, The Black Vault filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for all records and materials submitted or communicated to the Office of the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) by David Charles Grusch in or around May 2022. David Grusch is known as the UFO Whistleblower, and the request aimed to obtain various forms of correspondence, reports, memos, notes, transcripts, photos, videos, and other documents related to his communications with the ICIG. On January 5, 2024, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) responded to The Black Vault’s request with a “Glomar response,” stating that…

The “Air Intelligence Division Study: Analysis of Flying Object Incidents in the United States,” dated December 10, 1948, is a crucial document in the history of UFO research. Originally classified as Top Secret, it was ordered to be destroyed in 1950, but surviving declassified copies have been obtained and studied by researchers such as Michael Swords, Jan Aldrich with Project 1947, the late Clifford Stone, and many others. This document provides an early analysis of UFO sightings and the government’s approach to understanding these phenomena. Its survival has made it a valuable resource for understanding the initial stages of official…

This document is a final report on a 1987 Advanced Space Propulsion Study focusing on antiproton and beamed power propulsion. The study aimed to monitor research at the forefront of physics and engineering to discover new spacecraft propulsion concepts, with an emphasis on antiproton annihilation propulsion. Antiproton annihilation propulsion is highlighted as a major new form of propulsion that has moved from science fiction to serious scientific and engineering investigation. The use of antiprotons as the form of antimatter is crucial for propulsion, as the annihilation of antiprotons with protons can efficiently convert rest mass into energy. The report discusses…
The following photographs are found within the Goddard Space Flight Center, Graphic and Publication Services Branch Collection, within the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
