USAF: AFI 10-206 UFO Reporting Procedures Active
The Air Force implemented updated instructions containing mandatory reporting requirements for unidentified flying objects. These guidelines remained operative until media attention prompted their removal three years later.
Background
The United States Air Force issued a 2008 revision of Instruction 10-206 containing standardized procedures for reporting sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena. This directive established mandatory channels for Air Force personnel to document encounters with unknown objects through official reporting structures. The regulation remained active and accessible to service members until its sudden modification in 2011. During its operational period, this instruction represented one of the primary military mechanisms for collecting observations of anomalous aerial activity. Via TheBlackVault.com (FOIA).
