1/ Federal agencies love to give the illusion they release documents to the public in complete collections.
Often, that's proven wrong.
Take the CIA #UFO documents released via #FOIA. Yes, the CIA has had UFO records online, but their archive appears to be incomplete.

2/ There are different ways to see the UFO document collection on the CIA's website, and you can see, the highest output of files is 415. The Black Vault, added 713.
They give the illusion they have it all online. But when you actually research it; it's not all there.

3/ Using the search term "UFO" yields quite a bit. However, looks can be deceiving. These are some of the "UFO" references in their search.
All unrelated and false hits. There's tons of them.

4/ Filing Mandatory Declassification Review (MDR) requests also proves that collections are left incomplete; disseminating outdated information.
For example. An MDR w/ the NSA yielded this release more than SIX YEARS ago. You can see the NSA STILL disseminates the old one!

5/ The Black Vault aims to have the most comprehensive, complete and convenient archive of documents around. This is why I do what I do, as too many times, I've seen looks can absolutely be deceiving with agencies.
And "transparency" is generally nothing of the sort.
