The Times Of India reports: (US department of war) Newly declassified FBI documents have detailed extraordinary witness accounts of small, suited figures exiting mysterious craft during a massive wave of sightings in the 1960s.The records were made public on Friday as part of a transparency initiative led by the Trump administration. Among the hundreds of files, photographs, and videos uploaded to the department of war website, one internal memo from 1966 has stood out for its descriptions of "crewmen" associated with unidentified flying objects.

Explosive UFO Files Drop SECRET Apollo Records; ‘NASA Caught Never-Seen-Before…’Small beings in space suitsAccording to the 1966 memo, which was sent from the FBI's San Francisco office to Director J. Edgar Hoover, investigators tracked reports of landed craft and their occupants. The document notes that "A few witnesses have reported seeing crewmen who had landed from the objects," describing the entities as "three and a half to four feet tall, wearing what appear to be space suits and helmets."These accounts were part of a broader summary of the year 1965, which the bureau noted was "the year of the greatest number of UFO sightings" globally.
Background
The sightings involved polished metal objects capable of hovering in total silence before accelerating at "fantastic speeds."Advanced technologyThe files showed the physical effects these objects allegedly had on their environment. Witnesses reported that the craft emitted force fields that interfered with power sources and electromagnetic equipment. In some instances, the ground beneath the objects was found scorched after they departed.The FBI records also suggest that wreckage from crashed saucers had been recovered on three separate occasions.
Key facts
- Edgar Hoover, investigators tracked reports of landed craft and their occupants.
- Witnesses reported that the craft emitted force fields that interfered with power sources and electromagnetic equipment.
- Laboratory analysis mentioned in the files described the debris as "exceptionally hard unknown metal" and magnesium alloys.
What this means
Laboratory analysis mentioned in the files described the debris as "exceptionally hard unknown metal" and magnesium alloys. One specific material was noted for containing "thousands of 15-micron metal spheres throughout" and showing clear evidence of micro-meteorite impacts on its surface.National controversyThe 1966 memo focused heavily on the public frenzy caused by the book Flying Saucers – Serious Business by Frank Edwards. The FBI monitored Edwards’ claims that the US Air Force had "deliberately withheld information and given misleading explanations because it fears a mass panic by the public if the public were told the truth."The document also mentions the political climate of the time, noting that future President Gerald Ford, then a congressman, was calling for official hearings.
This pressure eventually led the Air Force to commission a $300,000 study by University of Colorado physicist Edward U. Condon to investigate the phenomena.The push for disclosureThe release follows an executive order from President Donald Trump directing secretary of war Pete Hegseth to declassify records related to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).Despite the sensational nature of the reports, officials have urged caution. The FBI memo serves as a summary of contemporary witness accounts and popular literature rather than a verification of extraterrestrial life.PollDo you believe the described small figures could be extraterrestrial beings?Yes, definitelyNo, it's not possible
