USSTRATCOM: Classified UAP JIATF report drafted pre-UAPTF establishment
USSTRATCOM produced a classified intelligence report mentioning an unknown "UAP JIATF" entity. The document predates the official UAP Task Force formation and describes upcoming briefings for command leadership.
Background
On July 24, 2020, United States Strategic Command generated a Top Secret activity report for internal distribution. The document referenced an entity designated as UAP JIATF, abbreviation for Unidentified Aerial Phenomenology Joint Inter-agency Task Force. This nomenclature appeared nearly two weeks before formal UAPTF establishment on August 4, 2020. The report detailed plans to brief Admiral Charles Richard, then Commander of USSTRATCOM, on unidentified aerial phenomena. The document surfaced publicly in December 2022 through Freedom of Information Act proceedings initiated by The Black Vault. Its contents suggest classified UAP discussions occurred at high military command levels prior to official program recognition. Via TheBlackVault.com (FOIA).
