Give how tightly wound UFOs, flying saucers and conspiracy theories are, perhaps it would have been beneficial if they were investigated by anyone other than the CIA.<p>The CIA&#x27;s culture is not one of openness, nor should it be.  So anything they do will be regarded as suspect, any conclusion about UFOs seen as potential misdirection.  The public does not expect the CIA to tell the truth.  The NSF, even NASA, would probably have been a better point person.<p>As for whether we are being visited, I see no evidence to the contrary.  No practical amount of evidence can ever prove such as thing isn&#x27;t happening.  From a purely scientific standpoint I&#x27;m all for investigations.  If NASA wanted to deliberately hunt for something like Bracewell probes in the outer solar system, I&#x27;d support that effort.
