Is the CIA Stonewalling? — NSA / CIA Memo on UFO FOIA Handling
A May-June 1981 article by NICAP/MUFON editor Richard Hall, preserved in the NSA's FOIA release collection, uses 892 declassified CIA pages to argue that the agency maintained covert, sustained UFO monitoring while publicly denying interest, and that the NSA's own 1968 internal study concluded every UAP hypothesis carries 'serious survival implications.'

Sworn 1980 affidavit by NSA policy chief Eugene F. Yeates, filed in Citizens Against UFO Secrecy v. NSA, arguing that 156 UFO-related documents held by NSA cannot be released because virtually all are COMINT intercepts of foreign government communications whose disclosure would expose surveillance sources, targets, and cryptanalytic capabilities.
