Yes, that's because Fred Burton ([email protected]) copy and pasted the Rense article and sent it to Brian Genchur ([email protected]).
I do find it odd however that there are legitimate government documents unearthed a long time ago that unequivocally show that the government wanted to "debunk" as many alien or UFO claims as possible. I want to know why.

Privately owned but it works for the CIA? A bit contradictory...
Hm, smells as if Assange just invented a new boogeyman. It's been some time now that Assange didn't have get attention.
Is there a way to verify Assange's accusations, and by extension, the veracity of his documents?

According to Wikileaks Stratfor UFO files, among all the controversial documents leaked to the public in the last twenty years regarding state secrets and the UFO phenomena is the fantastic revelations of the CIA's unacknowledged MJ MAJESTIC TWELVE files disclosing the most guarded of all classified subjects-extraterrestrial life forms and their technologies.

Think about the era in which those documents were produced. The cold war.
Do you think that the Air Force saying "we don't know what it was" would go over real well with the public when the threat of death from above was on everyone's mind?
Why?
Still begs the question if they didnt know what it was and still dont know what it was/is then either the Russians are light years more advanced than the US ( unlikely since they lost the cold war )

I haven't seen any reports which necessarily involve extremely advanced technology. There are reports that can be interpreted that way, of course, but that's if misidentification, misinterpretation, and other weaknesses of eyewitness reports are not considered part of the picture. That's if a lack of information is not considered part of the picture.
I once personally observed a group of people misidentify a toy balloon as a huge object flying at an "impossible" speed. If I hadn't been there, if I had only heard an eyewitness description, that balloon would be a UFO.
Yes, and it still is. The original question I replied to was why did the government want to "debunk" UFO sightings. Many eyewitness reports cannot be explained for the reasons I gave. Rather than say "we don't know what you saw", the tendency would be to offer any explanation, for the reason I gave.
First, the reply to your quote about the US air force not knowing what something in US airspace was the initial point of contention not the validity of the eye witness or witnesses.
Yes, and they don't know what they saw either. Can their eyewitness reports be interpreted as evidence of advanced technology? Yes. Is it proof of advanced technology? No.
Also you are aware that there are plenty of Airforce personnel that have made eyewitness testimony about ufo's.
No. But it does mean that anyone is capable of doing so. To not think so would be foolish. But it does not require intent to misidentify or misinterpret something seen in the sky.
Does that mean all educated and intelligent people do so??
