Background

In January 1997, investigators at The Black Vault successfully petitioned the U.S. Army under the Freedom of Information Act, case number 143F-97. The military responded by releasing a substantial archive exceeding 350 pages of previously restricted materials. Among these records was a declassified folder containing photographs from the 1947 Denmark incident. This disclosure revealed that military intelligence had documented alleged UFO debris decades earlier than previously publicized. The publication of these images enabled Bob White to identify remarkable similarities between the historical military evidence and his own recovered fragment from 1985. The release represented a significant transparency milestone regarding early government documentation of anomalous aerial phenomena.
