The Vatican's secret archives have long been a magnet for mystery - and now, alien intrigue.

Sprawling across more than 50 miles of underground shelving, these heavily guarded documents have fueled wild speculation for centuries. But some researchers now believe the Holy See could be sitting on the biggest secret of all: proof of extraterrestrial life.

As outlandish as it sounds, recent testimony by former US intelligence insiders claim the Vatican and American government have worked together to investigate, cover up and, most shockingly, study, UFOs.

Following the death of Pope Francis at age 88 on Easter Monday, UFO investigator and filmmaker Mark Christopher Lee is calling on the next pontiff to come clean. Lee, who has spent three decades studying the links between religion, history and alien phenomena, claims the Vatican may be harboring 'hundreds' of classified files on UFO sightings - some possibly dating back centuries. 

'If the Church is truly committed to spiritual truth and human enlightenment, then it must no longer suppress information that could fundamentally reshape our understanding of our place in the cosmos,' Lee said in a statement.
