STILL SEALED
There is a difference between a claim with no evidence and a claim whose evidence exists, has been identified, and is being held. The first is weak. The second is unresolved, and somebody could end it tomorrow by opening a drawer. 20 files on this page. Speculation that records must exist does not qualify: that is the absent category, and it is graded differently.
The surviving financial records exist only because they were misfiled. That is the entire reason this file is CONFIRMED, and it is a poor foundation to assume nothing else is missing.
The programme is confirmed. Every substantial release has enlarged the known scope rather than reduced it.
The fullest accounting so far came only because Congress compelled it in 1998. What remains has never been released voluntarily.
The networks are confirmed. Whether they were connected to specific attacks is the open question, and the records that would answer it have never been opened.
The 2017 to 2023 releases produced substantial new detail on Agency operations and on Oswald's surveillance. This file is unusual here for being close to exhausting its own archive.
The cell had no working camera, the officers falsified their checks, and the hallway footage was unusable. The gap is documented fact, and it is why the file cannot close.
The committee found Butler's account credible in part, then redacted the names of those he accused and referred nothing for prosecution.
Declassified material establishes that Washington knew, and shows communications support. Every further release has moved the estimate in the same direction, which makes the current picture a floor.
The unit, the experiments and the American immunity deal are confirmed. The victim count remains an estimate because the records that would make it a figure are closed.
Ten inquiries concluded misidentification. The material that would test that conclusion is the material still held.
The report partially supported the allegation and was discounted. The most substantial first-person account did not arrive until 2023.
Successive United Nations inquiries, through 2022, have stated that member states are likely holding relevant material they have not disclosed, and have named them. The UN moved its own finding from pilot error back to open.
A National Research Council review found the science consistent but not definitive, and could not exclude others with access to the same flask.
The engineering is not in dispute. The withholding is, and it did more to sustain the theory than any physical claim ever did.
Unlike the rest of this page, this material no longer exists to be released. It is included because the failure to examine is why the case is unanswerable, which is the same outcome by a different route.
The exercise reached a finding and did not publish it, out of consideration for living descendants. The skulls that would allow re-examination were lost in the Second World War.
A FOIA suit resulted in a court ordering a further search. Witnesses described a military cordon and a flatbed leaving with something covered, and the records that would test that are the missing ones.
A satellite built to detect atmospheric nuclear tests recorded the characteristic double flash. Forty-five years on, the data that would settle whether it was a test or an artifact is classified.
The campaign itself is confirmed. The material it produced is the largest identified body of sealed evidence attached to any file in this cabinet, and it has a release date.
The sighting, the RCMP report and the Navy dive search are all documented and public. The one piece of evidence that would resolve the cause, a radar track, has never been produced by either government.
