The CIA didn't exist until several months after the 1947 Roswell crash of a US Air Force "weather balloon". The CIA doesn't have complete access to Area 51. They fund projects and advise, but there are projects and Special Access Programs that are outside of their mandate and authority. It is probable that in the 50s, 60s and 70s the CIA advised the Air Force on disinformation or other tactics, but I do not believe UFO mythology was created by them. I am almost certain but, of course, I do not know everything and I have no evidence to support my assertion. A large part of the UFO-government mythology did originate from a psyop against Paul Bennewitz perpetrated by the Air Force- http://philipcoppens.com/bennewitz.html http://philipcoppens.com/bennewitz.html The first time a UFO expert (Bruce Maccabee) spoke at the CIA was in the late 1970s.
