Background
In May 2021, the Department of Defense Inspector General formally launched an evaluation into how the U.S. military and intelligence community handled and responded to the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena topic. As part of this oversight initiative, investigators conducted interviews with several officers from the National Reconnaissance Office's Mission Integration Directorate to assess internal procedures. The evaluation aimed to scrutinize the effectiveness and coordination of UAP response protocols across defense agencies. According to subsequent NRO communications, the Inspector General planned to issue a formal 'data call' to the agency approximately two weeks after June 9, 2021, requesting additional information about UAP-related activities and intelligence collection efforts.
