This week, the CIA published 12 million pages of declassified documentation online. While all of this material was previously available to the public, it required a trip to the National Archives and Records Agency, located in College Park, MD (the building is very gray).

There's a lot of interesting and uninteresting poo poo in there. People have already commented in the Current Events thread on PROJECT STARGATE, which you may be familiar with if you've ever seen Men Who Stare at Goats. So let's all post some of the more interesting declassified stuff that we've dug up!

So far, I've found the following reports on Chernobyl:

Economic/Nuclear Development Impacts
Letter from Robert Gates Regarding Health Risks in Eastern Europe
Remote Viewing Session Involving Chernobyl 3 Weeks Before Meltdown

e: drat, I forget to set a thread tag. Zeris, please tag as appropriate.

National Archives is also a treasure trove of weird stuff.

I never truly understood the Watergate scandal until I read this:

Earth-shaking stuff. No wonder it was buried for 42 years.
