Navy responds to NY Times: No records found for claimed UAP incidents
Defense authorities informed the press organization that no paperwork supported the earlier published claims. The requested safety documentation apparently did not exist within military filing systems.
Background
Approximately four days after the initial publication, maritime officials delivered their formal response to the transparency petition. They stated that no official files could be found regarding the alleged aerial incidents aboard the carrier. Specifically, investigators could not locate the safety report mentioned in the original news piece. This revelation suggested the newsroom had proceeded with printing despite lacking corroborating evidence they had actively sought weeks earlier. The development raised questions about record-keeping protocols for anomalous observations within the armed forces. Via TheBlackVault.com (FOIA).
