A massive public archive of declassified US government files vanished just one day after President Trump ordered the release of all UFO-related documents.

The Black Vault, run by researcher and ufologist John Greenewald Jr, had its main server reportedly wiped clean on February 20, deleting hundreds of gigabytes worth of files on UFOs, declassified CIA projects, and major conspiracies, including the assassination of JFK.

Greenewald shared the news online, explaining that some server directories had their permissions, the safeguards on who can access or edit them, and the file ownership logs changed without explanation.

  1. It’s shit like this that I don’t understand. Do acts like this not give the topic legitimacy?

  2. Could be an attempt to control the narrative so not many contradicting pieces of evidence exist out there once the official ones come out. 

    But if no backups were made, I call bullshit. 

  3. >In a statement released on X, Greenewald said he did not ‘fully suspect foul play’ but noted that he couldn’t rule out the possibility because of the suspicious information he had received from the website hosting provider.

    “**[They] had no idea what happened, and on their side, they said it was a deletion, not corruption**,” the researcher posted on Saturday.

    That’s curious. What rationale could ‘they’ have for doing this if they’re going to, ostensibly, come clean and release the files anyway (not *those* files, sadly)? Was there a nugget or two of pure gold in there that they just want gone before they release a bunch of black boxes?

    wtf was anything in there that was so odd that they had to do it now? like something that contradicts a current thing maybe JFK?

  6. A red flag. If john suddenly is not alive anymore in a few days, that would make it real red flag.

  7. There it is everybody! There’s Trump’s disclosure! He’s really ushering us into this new era! I can’t wait for his next 4D Chess move!
