China and Russia have recovered crashed UFOs and attempted to reverse engineer them, according to newly released US government files and a leading disclosure campaigner speaking in Washington this week. Jordan Flowers, executive director of the UAP Disclosure Foundation, said documents made public on 12 June suggest that foreign adversaries are not only tracking American UFO programmes but may also be working on their own recovered craft.
The third tranche of what US officials classify as Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, or UAP, files was released, adding another layer to a disclosure process that has moved from the fringes of politics to Capitol Hill hearings in just a few years. These latest papers, which include a once-secret CIA cable from 2008, follow testimony from whistleblowers and former intelligence officers who allege that the United States has long run covert crash retrieval and reverse‑engineering projects.
