Government UFO Documents Released Without Context; Further Records Said to Be Under Compilation

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The long-awaited UFO documents promised by President Trump have been released, but according to a report on Unexplained Mysteries, many of the files arrive without context, and the video clips are said to lack much of their relevant metadata.

The result, the report states, is that much of the material is being offered in a vacuum. A clip described as a strange object over the Middle East, it notes, has limited significance without knowing the particulars of the circumstances behind it.

Help may be on the way. Investigative journalist George Knapp says, as relayed in the report, that the Defense Intelligence Agency has begun compiling additional documents dating back to 2007. The work is being done through a project known as the Advanced Aerospace Weapon Systems Applications Program, or AAWSAP, and it is hoped the records will fill in the gaps.

Colm Kelleher, who worked on the program alongside Robert Bigelow, voiced the criticism plainly. "You've got these videos that have no metadata." He further alleged that someone had gone to the trouble of removing it before release, a claim the report presents as his own.

Kelleher also argued that dumping raw data on the public is "not very useful as time goes on." As to when the new files might themselves be made public, the report says that remains unclear.
