Awatchdog group seeking access to unidentified flying object footage has been rejected with the unambiguous message that, due to heavy classification, none of the government’s media on UFOs will be released.
The Black Vault reported this week that starting in April 2020 it sought to acquire all "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena" videos within the files of Naval Air Systems Command. Three such videos had already been leaked from government databases before being officially released by NAVAIR.
The division subsequently denied that request, citing no such videos in its possession. A request filed with the Office of Naval Intelligence was met with a similar response.
A third request filed with the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations was finally met with a comprehensive rejection, one that said "the requested videos contain sensitive information pertaining to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena and are classified and are exempt from disclosure in their entirety."
The agency also said: "The release of this information will harm national security as it may provide adversaries valuable information regarding Department of Defense/Navy operations, vulnerabilities, and/or capabilities. No portions of the videos can be segregated for release."
The Black Vault noted that the CNO offered an uncharacteristically thorough explanation for its rejection in what may have been an attempt to head off an appeal.
"While three UAP videos were released in the past, the facts specific to those three videos are unique in that those videos were initially released via unofficial channels before official release," the agency said, noting that "given the amount of information in the public domain regarding these encounters, it was possible to release the files without further damage to national security."
The Black Vault said it nevertheless "filed an appeal seeking the release of the videos denied."
Just like when a judge doesn’t want to deal with a case and dismisses it for lack of standing, this is the military version of saying we don’t have standing.
The work for us.
We pay them with our taxpayer money.
Or so we thought. /s
They are hiding the aliens…. lol. This UFO craze is comical.
“We pay them with our taxpayer money...
Or so we thought”
C’mon man......it’s for your own good. 😏
I really can’t blame them, I’d ‘hide’ them too.
If they were to become known to the entire world, civilization, as we know it, might collapse.......................
When virtually everyone carries a high resolution camera in their pocket, if this was anything but a military-focused phenomenon we would have plenty of video. Why no UFO sightings by private pilots, sports enthusiasts in remote places, from ordinary citizens through the windows of commercial aircraft - just to name a few scenarios that ought to occur with similar frequency if these were random events.
I thought Brandon declassified the UFO sturff to distract from one of his scandals?
I agree. And imagine it becoming a campaign issue.
Oh, boy.
If they disclose, we will find out they are not in control. Now how in the world would they want to make such an admission to the slaves?
Just the fuzzy ones with jerky camera action....................😜
Our alien overlords created us, they can destroy us.
All governments know this, cant let the lab rats know too much ago bout their breeding farm experiments.
You will obey.
You know.... that is an angle I have not really heard anyone take, but makes a lot of sense. Perhaps I read into it a little too much, but allow me to elaborate;
What greater motivation would government(s) and military have for concealing the existence of those with superior technology, and presumably superior intelligence, than the fear that it would undermine the population’s respect for the authority and sovereignty of the state?
The F117 was regularly sighted as a UFO. I completely agree with the Navy.
If it’s all swamp gas and weather balloons there would be no reason to classify it.
Their recalcitrant actions speak volumes. Says more than if they had released them all......................😉
Being here in Ft. Walton Beach, and my house is right in line with Eglin AFB runways, we see a lot of strange things, but usually just chalk it up to Air Force development vehicles.
This week they put out on the local news that there will be ‘night training’ going on, so I expect to hear lots of F-35 noise tonight and all week long...................
