Background

Approximately in 2009, Naval authorities initiated a formal investigation into the source of the leaked FLIR1 UFO video. The probe examined how classified footage from the 2004 Nimitz encounter became publicly available online. Investigators concluded that identifying the leaker among approximately 5,000 crew members aboard the aircraft carrier would be impractical. The inquiry was subsequently closed without further action or criminal charges. Via TheBlackVault.com (FOIA).
