Abandoned Government Research Facility (Found Strange FBI Files)

[@AmericanExplorer]

What an extraordinary find! I remember Project Blue Book. It operated from the 1950's until the 1960's. What you found were redacted copies of files. I don't know if those were copies of what was released to the public after it was declassified, or if those there didn't have the security clearance to see certain things at the time. I would be interested to know what went on there after Project Blue Book. That one statement about residents being uneasy if a body were found was certainly an understatement! Looking forward to this series! Well done!

[@John2r1]

In order to work in a federal facility such as one ran by the FBI You would need at least a secret level security clearence. Those are likely the redacted copies and where likely not from the FBI agents that may or may not have been there. The FBI would have destroyed or taken all paperwork with them about the facility. They also wouldn't have left anything inside such as filing cabinets where they had paperwork. They also wouldn't have bothered destroying the computer terminals . They would have taken the hard drive and wiped the system. All the spray paint and damage where done by other people who found the place before. There are alot of places like that one in out of sight places.

The " FBI Building"here is the abandoned CF International Headquarters.

Project Blue Book was the code name for the systematic study of unidentified flying objects by the United States Air Force from March 1952 to its termination on December 17, 1969. The project, headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, was initially directed by Captain Edward J. Ruppelt and followed projects of a similar nature such as Project Sign established in 1947, and Project Grudge in 1948. Project Blue Book had two goals, namely, to determine if UFOs were a threat to national security, and to scientifically analyze UFO-related data.

[@jonathanmorgenstein2073]

Damn fr I've been to wright Patterson on a boy scout camping trip that's cool I never knew that

[@matthewwitham1515]

So funny that a lot of these ufos and uaps were all the United States with their completely secret projects. We took the spacecraft from events like Roswell and other crash’s less know about. During the time the United States was testing nuclear bombs in the desert of the southwest at an extreme pace and all the energy or something threw off the ships communications and they crashed. Basiclly we’ve had backdoor projects since Roswell and the secret organization has mastered this since the 60s just imagine the technology they have today. Listen to a stephen Greer podcast about this very interesting and hard to deny

[@jadebirrd]

Honestly, I don't think you found something there. Think of it, that place has been cleared. Everything's gone, they'd have made sure to not miss anything. Also, people have been there before without permission. Just look at the graffiti. The cabinet has been opened by other explorers. If government services really had missed this, others would have found it first. Highly doubt they just left it there without taking it or posting it somewhere. Additionally, it's just extremely fishy that this was stored in such a public room - that was, as you said, used by some sort of grounds keeper. That file is most likely a prank by someone who thought it was funny. Yeah that blue project existed, but the files were leaked/declassified, as stated by the pinned comment. Most likely someone just printed that and left it there bc they thought it's funny

[@StringerMedia]

Jade Noneofyourbusiness I thought this too, but security has been incredibly high here actually. This was the only day we could ever get in. Ive lived right next to it my whole life. Very out of place those files were, but they could have been put there by accident or someone went rouge. The things like the “glowing eyes” we have actually seen. Not sure how someone else would even know about that unless they also saw them. Over the years I kept seeing them take stuff out. It was in the process of the last cabinets being taken out that day I think. Could be why. The things I’ve seen though add up

I did find them online after some research. I did not put them there though surprisingly. By the looks of it they’ve been there for quite some time, decently preserved in the filing cabinets.
