The truth is out there: The CIA has released hundreds of 
declassified documents detailing investigations into possible 
alien life.

The Central Intelligence Agency posted documents of reported 
Unidentified Flying Objects that range in date from the late 
1940s to the 1950s. While playing off the hype of the TV show 
reboot �The X-Files,� the CIA broke down the cases into two 
categories, whether you side with Agent Mulder or Agent Scully.

For believers in alien life, and those who want to channel your 
inner Mulder, one case you can choose to investigate is the case 
of a flying saucer in Germany in 1952.

According to CIA reports, an eyewitness told investigators that 
an object �resembling a huge flying pan� landed in a forest 
clearing in the Soviet zone of Germany in 1952. The eyewitness 
said once he was closer to the area where it landed, he saw two 
men dressed in shiny metallic clothing. The men were stooped 
over looking at a large object but were spooked by the 
eyewitness. The mysterious men jumped into the large flying pan 
object and it spun out into the sky.

�The whole object then began to rise slowly from the ground and 
rotate like a top,� the eyewitness told the CIA.

The man told a judge he thought he was dreaming but said there 
was a circular imprint on the ground where the object had landed.

If that case intrigues you, there are four more listed on the 
CIA blog post.

But if you are more of a skeptic like Scully, and believe there 
is a simple explanation for flying saucer sightings, then the 
documents from the scientific advisory panel on UFOs in 1953 
will help you prove your case.

According to the documents, panel members met to discuss the 
lack of sound data and reasonable explanations in a handful of 
sightings from 1952. The panel concluded unanimously that there 
was no evidence of direct threat to national security by the 
object sightings. Some of the explanations for the �flying 
saucers� and �balls of light� were determined to be from 
military aircraft, light reflected from ice crystals, birds and 
bright sunlight rays.
