The US Central Intelligence Agency has admitted that half of UFO sightings in the 1950s and 1960s were the country’s U-2 spy planes.

"Reports of unusual activity in the skies in the '50s? It was us," the CIA said in a tweet on Monday.

The agency explained that it was testing the spy planes at altitudes of over 60,000 feet. The figure was not believable at that time.

According to the spy agency, the document explaining that scenario was the most widely read document released this year by the CIA from their database.

The U-2 spy plane is flown by the United States Air Force now.

Some 104 U-2 spy planes have been built in total.

The Soviet Union shot down one of the planes in 1960 at 70,500 feet when it was trying to cross the country by going from Pakistan's air space then Norway's air space.

In 1997, The New York Times said in an article that the U-2 planes were developed to photograph targets from secret bases in California and Nevada.

Nonsense.

In the 1950s, working for the CAA in NY, the CIA often ran U2s from Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico Naval air station, to Goose Bay, Labrador, no refueling, well above CAA controlled airspace.

U being the designator meaning "UTILITY" aircraft, it did not take a genius to add 2 plus 2 and get an answer of 5.

The Russians were well aware of the U2, from its inception.

Good question for intelligent, thinking men....

The Russians always knew when the U2s were coming, do you know how?????

The answer will surprise you, it was nothing they did.

JT at #8: Not a clue on how they knew of the flights.

Are you ever going to tell us the answer to your question, Cynicom?

Perhaps.

Been down again.

I would rather you and Jethro figure it out.

You DO know the answer.

Get well soon. He's been busy at other topics and I'm not getting any younger here. That project could take me years and years because I'm not a U2 historian like you.

You DO know the answer.

I'm going to guess for now that it's something more complicated than bird flight patterns or you would have just typed those 3 words instead of 4 sentences.

OKAY...

U2 flights were combination aerial photography and electronic recording surveillance.

Photography requires clear skies.

When ever very large high pressure area, with clear skies, was forecast for most of Western Russia, the Russians knew the U2s would be coming.

And they did.
