There is no Intelligence Collection Requirement (ICR) for UFOs. There is no Intelligence Production Requirement (IPR) for the same. Go ahead, do your FOIA thing and prove me wrong. I used to do this for a living.
Production of strategic intelligence must come from a national strategy document.
So tell me, how is this an intelligence failure?
If these “UFO’s” zooming around our Aegis Combat System ships are Chinese, that’s a big intel failure.
