The evidence in this book may not ultimately give you the “smoking gun” you are looking for on your journey, but I guarantee it will give you a box of bullets when you find it.


In 1996, John Greenewald, Jr. began researching the secret inner workings of the U.S. Government at the age of fifteen. He targeted such agencies as the CIA, FBI, Pentagon, Air Force, Army, Navy, NSA, DIA, and countless others.

Greenewald utilized the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to gain access to more than two million pages of documents. This archive includes information relating to UFOs, the JFK Assassination, chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons, and top secret aircraft. He took the millions of pages, and over the course of more than two decades, has built an archive known around the world, as The Black Vault.

Inside The Black Vault: The Government’s UFO Secrets Revealed takes you on a journey within the secret world of unidentified aerial phenomenon that has plagued the military since at least the 1940s. Declassified records prove that the UFO topic is one of the most highly classified and most elusive subjects the U.S. Government has ever dealt with. Each chapter explores various agencies and their documents, and Greenewald breaks down the meaning of why some of the most important documents are relevant to proving a massive cover-up.

Along with declassified documents, Greenewald outlines the struggle it took him to get them. No other topic has proven so difficult, in more than 8,000 FOIA requests that he has filed. He explores why that might be and meets skeptics and debunkers head on, outlining why some of their more prominent rebuttals for it all cannot be true.

Editorial Reviews

Review

John Greenewald is one of the most dedicated UFO investigators on the planet, and he proves it again... with this book. It is a fascinating read! -- George Noory, host, Coast to Coast AM

A long awaited book by John Greenewald, the man who put the 'I' in FOIA. -- Philip Mantle, Publisher at Flying Disk Press

A fascinating account of how a teenage fan of The X-Files became a thorn in the side of the CIA, the NSA and other parts of the US government, using the Freedom of Information Act to uncover some real-life X-Files. -- Nick Pope, UK Ministry of Defence (Ret.)

As a teenager, John Greenewald began a quest to learn as much about UFO as he could by using the FOIA. Today, he hosts The Black Vault, filled with that information. And now, in this book filled with important information and interpretation, we see what he has discovered. This is an important work that should grace every researcher's library, and it is a good read for those interested in UFOs and the government. -- Kevin D. Randle, Lt. Col. USAR (Ret)

Starting at the age of 15, John Greenewald, Jr. was struck with a curiosity that led off a lifelong journey. First researching the UFO phenomenon, Greenewald began utilizing the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to hammer the United States Government for answers, and he targeted every government agency to get them.

As he waited for answers on this niche of the paranormal, he then branched off to investigate nearly every government secret imaginable. He was a sophomore in high school when he first started his trek in 1996, and he archived all of his research on a website that became known around the world as The Black Vault. Today, he has amassed well more than 2,000,000 pages of declassified records.

His efforts throughout decades of research have been responsible for getting hundreds of thousands of pages that have never seen the light of day into the public domain. He has appeared on numerous television and radio programs throughout the world and is frequently sourced in various news articles and stories for his archive and his discoveries.

This book is insane! A document based journey into the coverup of the US(and Canada!) involvement with UFO/UAP. I am not a ufo experiencer so I look at this with an objective eye, and the results are IRREFUTABLE. The author has a patient nature in telling you things that will blow your socks off! It is a generous helping of truth after being lied to by our own government.

This book dives into and presents solid evidence of a coverup by the Armed Forces. It a fascinating read that leaves it up to you to draw your own conclusions. You should definitely keep an open mind as you explore this very controversial subject. Are we the only one in this universe? What about other universes. When are highly trained pilots see it on there radar and witness sighting. How can we possibly deny them what they saw. So if this subject interests you pickup a copy and enjoy the journey of exploring the UFO topic!

5.0 out of 5 stars Media and Government Complicity concerning perpetuating ignorance on the subject
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2019
Verified Purchase
I would suspect that most who have read this book agree that the "company line" by government officials and feeble "explanations" by Project Blue Book , shuttered in 1969, are a sham and travesty. The fact that subsequent government official responses to inquiries by citizens who experienced personal UFO sightings, by continuing to refer to the findings of Bluebook as "gospel", are disgraceful and an insult to our intelligence.Stanford physicist Peter Sturrock authored a book several years ago questioning the work and findings in Bluebook, which in fact, proved to be a shallow and superficial investigation covered by a full time staff of "4". Dr Sturrock even conducted a symposium of scientists in 1997 in Tarrytown, NY. Most attendees were curious, skeptical but cautious in further pursuit on the topic because their sources of funding and professional reputations could be disrupted by breaking ranks with colleagues and peers.Besides the prior FOIA petitions initated by Greenewald and the documented information obtained... its now proven w/o a shadow of doubt that the government never stopped investigations of UFO's ...based upon the 12-17-17 news release by the NYT and Washington Post.I agree with Greenewald's conclusions in the final chapter of his book and I am appalled that the majority of mainstream science continue to display emphatic and dogmatic POV's concerning the subject by resorting to ridicule to those who dare question their authority. This simply re-inforces the "taboo"... and unfortunately the mainstream media quickly defer to the prominent scientists to "set the record straight" which, IMO, is a coordinated effort to put collective minds at ease. There may be a societal/ cultural fear of the unknown, as promulgated by some very informative writers on this subject. The work of investigative reporters like Leslie Kean and Lee Spiegal, the book by Robert Hastings, and the late Terry Hanson are noteworthy. Hansen recognized that the media and government have a history of working hand in hand and often times for good causes, as in World Wars 1 and 11. He further noted that the 1975 UFO incursions out west over nuclear weapons sites never made it into mainstream until several months later due to media complicity.Kean's reference to Hyneck's observations is significant..To wit:"There appears to be a powerful desire to do nothing" Greenewald is correct...... "we" are not an old civilization, when factoring in the age of the universe and the very liklihood that our knowledge of physics may be a million years behind other civilizations, whose abilities and behaviors may appear magical to our levels of understanding. I truly believe that world wide governments continue to cover up this topic, because they simply do not know the origin of the phenomena but are reluctant to inform their constituents that "they" do not have control over our soverign air space and are powerless to do anything about it. Most governments remain quiet with a few notable exceptions like France, Peru and Chile who publicly suspect the ETH as the reason for a small % of sightings. I still recall the Phoenix event in 3-97 and the O'Hare event in 11-06 where feeble explanations were released to the media by the military (flares in Phoenix) and United Airlines at O'Hare, who initially denied the incident oveer Gate C-17 even transpired.. until a transportation reporter for the Chicago Tribune filed a FOI, or right to know request.The airline and airport officials finally acknowledged the event and responded that it was a temperature inversion, which has been subsequently disproven.. Both times the media simply accepted the findings of those (supposedly)"in the know" and their feeble cover stories as explanations. .The Phoenix event never found its way into mainstream media until almost 3 months after the sighting..As always, a few weeks after news release of both the discussions simply retreated into the rear of cyberspace, which is... business as usual.... as if it never happened... and both events were simply relegated to the fringe.... It may take some dramatic event to get this subject into the mainstream, or in the alternative, we need responsible media to follow and cover the good scientific work currently being done by SCU in confirming and validating data objectivly obtained .. based upon the 2013 incident in Aguadilla, PR and the 2004 Nimitz encounter off the coast of San Diego.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting, but Not Groundbreaking Book
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2020

Since I have been studying this subject for years and have read a number of books on the subject, I didn't find too much new here. For example, we know for a fact that the government will lie when it suits their interest. In the Roswell case they came up with the weather balloon story. Even if it turns out what crashed was actually a top secret Mogal balloon, they basically admitted to lying to cover that up.

As for Blue Book, the only real investigator was the first director, Edward Rupelt (I recommend his book highly). Subsequent directors were nothing more than "yes men" for the Air Force which simply wanted the UFO problem to go away. The final, and longest running director, Major Quintanilla, was especially incompetent (Dr. James MacDonald told him so to his face). An example of Major Quintanilla's investigative skills was when he went out to interview police officers who sighted and chased a UFO for many miles; his first question was: "So tell me about this mirage you saw..."

The book does present documents that erase all doubt the government/Air Force continued to study the UFO subject long after they said they no longer had an interest in it after Blue Book was terminated (another lie). While it seems obvious there is an organized effort on some level to suppress the truth, the Air Force also created a culture to silence anyone (especially their own pilots since they are considered expert witnesses) who reported UFOs with intimidation and job/promotion loss. I believe the situation is slowly changing; but notice it is the Navy pilots who are now coming forward. It is also a shame that both the scientific community and media have been so lax in investigating this subject and giving it the attention it deserve. It's hard to understand that complacency on what could be the biggest story in the history of humankind.

I have read a lot of UFO books over the years and way too many trade on circumstantial evidence, wild claims and downright fantasy. However, 'Inside the Black Vault' is as good as it gets. The author has spent many, many years delving into what the US government knows about UFOs via the Freedom of Information Act, so what he uncovers is actual evidence, actual documentation. The author dissects what he finds with forensic accuracy as he strives to get to the bottom of what the US government knows about UFOs. If you're new to the subject or skeptical of the UFO field, then this is a great starting point. Even if you've been into the subject for a long time, this book should act as a touchstone for good research and a handy reminder just how deeply buried the UFO subject is with the US government. I heartily recommend.
