  UFO or CIA? Agency takes credit for '50s and '60s sightings
  The CIA is shaking things up on twitter
  
  Maybe it was a bird. Maybe it was a plane.
  
  But it was probably not a UFO.
  The Central Intelligence Agency had some fun Monday tweeting out its most popular stories of the year.
  No. 1? "Reports of unusual activity in the skies in the '50s? It was us."
  
  That's right - a CIA report from 1998 was the most-read story from 2014. It's titled, innocuously enough, "The CIA and the U-2 Program, 1954-1974" is written by Gregory W. Pedlow and Donald E. Welzenbach.
  And it has a whole section about UFOs.
  The U-2, of course, is the CIA's spy plane, and it made several high-altitude reconnaissance missions (and test flights) in the 1950s and 1960s. The document tracks the plane's creation and iterations -- and how it was often mistaken for a UFO because it flew higher than anyone believed was possible.
  From the "U-2s, UFOs, and Operation Blue Book" section of the lengthy report:
  "High-altitude testing of the U-2 soon led to an unexpected side effect -- a tremendous increase in reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs). In the mid-1950s, most commercial airliners flew at altitudes between 10,000 and 20,000 feet ... Consequently, once U-2s started flying at altitudes above 60,000 feet, air-traffic controllers began receiving increasing numbers of UFO reports."
  Reports were mostly made "in the early evening hours from pilots of airlines flying from east to west." After the sun dropped below the horizon, the U-2s would look like "fiery objects."
  The report also reveals that ground-based observers of what they thought were UFOs wrote letters to the Air Force. "This, in turn, led to the Air Force's Operation BLUE BOOK," which "collected all reports of UFO sightings" and "... attempted to explain such sightings by linking them to natural phenomena."
  Finally, the kicker: "... the flights accounted for more than one-half of all UFO reports during the late 1950s and most of the 1960s."
  And now you know.
  And if you don't follow @CIA already, here's a bonus gem from 2014, and the tweet that began it all:

  So this also means that most of the UFO sightings in the last few years are secret military and not belonging to extraterrestrials

    I can assure you that NONE of the UFO's that have been visible in the sky lately, have been of extraterrestrial origin. They're all from earth, visible only for the purpose of getting You, as a human, used to the idea of sharing "the heavens" with more beings than You as a Human.

    To me, it's a rather pointless excercise though. I mean, most people can't even accept immigrants from Syria nowadays. Imagine asking the same people to share their planet with beings that haven't even been here for 10 thousands years or so... If people can't accept Syrians in their midst, how could they possibly accept a horse-like half-humanbeing that looks like something from "Harry Potter" from Alpha Centauri? ;)

    Humans use horses for labor and recreation today and we kill them over something as simple as a broken leg. That will NOT be tolerated when we "go galactic".
