Recently unearthed classified documents have reignited one of the most controversial conspiracy theories of the 20th century — the claim that the United States government made contact with an extraterrestrial race during the 1960s. While the FBI has consistently denied the existence of such encounters, newly revealed CIA files and declassified military reports tell a different story, suggesting that covert programs were established to communicate with and conceal the presence of alien beings.
One of the most referenced operations in this narrative is “Project Sigma,” reportedly launched in 1954. The project allegedly aimed to establish communication with alien lifeforms using binary-coded radio signals transmitted into space. According to these claims, a breakthrough occurred in 1964, when two extraterrestrials responded and subsequently met with U.S. intelligence officials in the New Mexico desert. This secret meeting is said to have lasted approximately three hours, during which the visitors supposedly shared basic information about their species and intentions.
Simultaneously, a covert group known as “Majestic 12” (MJ-12) was reportedly created in the aftermath of the infamous 1947 Roswell incident. This elite panel, made up of high-ranking military and government figures, allegedly oversaw all investigations and information regarding UFOs and extraterrestrial life, keeping findings hidden even from the White House and Pentagon when deemed necessary.
Adding further intrigue is a 1953 CIA document that warned of public panic and loss of governmental control should widespread belief in alien contact take root. As a result, it recommended restricting public discourse on UFO sightings and extraterrestrial theories, effectively shaping decades of official silence and denial.
