According to the publication, hundreds of gigabytes of information disappeared from the main server of the Black Vault website, which is the most comprehensive public archive of declassified materials on UFOs. This site was created by researcher John Greenewald Jr., who has spent three decades collecting data and has submitted over 11,000 requests for information disclosure. In total, the archive contains more than 3.8 million declassified documents.
The researcher noted that he cannot assert that what happened is a clear act of sabotage, but he does not rule out that possibility. Additionally, he mentioned that access rights to certain sections of the site have changed.
John Greenewald Jr. expressed confidence that he will be able to restore the archive using data backups.
It is worth reminding that previously the U.S. president ordered the disclosure of documents related to aliens and UFOs.
“Given the high interest in this topic, I am directing Secretary of Defense [Pete Hegseth] and the relevant agencies to begin the process of identifying and disclosing government documents related to extraterrestrial life, unidentified aerial phenomena, and UFOs, as well as other information on these important and interesting issues,” he stated in his message on the social network Truth Social.
