Background

In October 2019, The Black Vault submitted a Mandatory Declassification Review request asking the NSA to re-evaluate the five-page UFO document withholding from 2012. Approximately one year later, the agency upheld its previous determination, again denying public access to the material. The NSA confirmed the documents retained their Top Secret classification status and remained exempt from release under provisions protecting intelligence activities and cryptologic information. This decision reaffirmed the government's position that certain UFO-related records warrant continued secrecy for national security reasons.
