Top-Secret UFO Files Would Cause "Grave Damage" To US National Security If Ever Released

If there is one thing you should know about me, it's I love college football. The second thing? I'm big into conspiracies. With that being said, I bet you'd assume that I'm into UFO's, right? I'm not out on UFO's and Aliens, but it's never got my conspiracy tingles going. All that being said, this story caught my eye:

SOURCE-In November 2004, several U.S. Navy pilots stationed aboard the USS Nimitz encountered a Tic-Tac-shaped UFO darting and dashing over the Pacific Ocean in apparent defiance of the laws of physics. Navy officials dubbed the strange craft an "unidentified aerial phenomenon," but they have remained mum on what, exactly, that phenomenon could've been. Now, unsurprisingly to anyone who's ever considered making a hat out of tinfoil, the military has confirmed they know more than they're letting on.

This story is from CBS, so I'm not surprised that they are using the condescending term "making a hat out of tinfoil." Yeah, crazy to question the government. They've never done anything questionable before. Stupid tinfoil hats!

In response to a recent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, a spokesperson from the Navy's Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) confirmed that the agency possesses several top-secret documents and at least one classified video pertaining to the 2004 UFO encounter, Vice reported.

According to the ONI spokesperson, these documents were either labeled "SECRET" or "TOP SECRET" by the agencies that provided them, and that sharing the information with the public "would cause exceptionally grave damage to the National Security of the United States."

Somewhere, Bob Lazar is smiling.

"Would cause exceptionally grave damage." Now, don't get me wrong, I understand the whole "national security" argument, but if you don't think the government/CIA/etc. isn't hiding massive information from the public, I don't know what to tell you. Also, if you think the only information being kept from you is about UFOs, I have some badddddddd news.
