🇺🇸U.S. GOV NEEDS HELP WITH… UFO FILES?
The National Archives just launched a project asking regular people to help transcribe thousands of old government documents — including JFK assassination files and UFO sighting reports.
No PhD needed.
If you can type, you can help.
Some documents are wild: one 1969 report from Kentucky insists the witness “hadn’t had a drink” before seeing strange lights.
The files are full of weird sightings, secret memos, and history nobody’s talked about in decades.
The Archives calls it a Citizen Archivist Mission. You create a free Login . gov account, pick a file, and start typing out what you see — mistakes, typos, and all.
Searchable records mean historians (and maybe future scientists) can actually study these cases, instead of losing them to bad handwriting and fading ink.
Your keyboard could help unlock the weirdest corners of American history.
