NRO: Official Confirmation of Non-Existent UFO Records
The National Reconnaissance Office formally declared possessing no UFO records on November 5, 2015. This negative response resulted from a specific FOIA inquiry. The letter represents official documentation of record absence within the intelligence community.
Background
On November 5, 2015, the National Reconnaissance Office issued a formal letter stating that no records responsive to UFO-related FOIA requests existed within their holdings. This negative determination clarified the NRO's position regarding documentation of unidentified aerial phenomena, indicating that either no such records were created or maintained, or they remained outside standard archival systems. The response proved significant for researchers attempting to map the scope of UFO documentation across various intelligence agencies. This official communication was subsequently published on The Black Vault, documenting the continued FOIA research activities occurring in 2015.
