Background
During March 2022, The Black Vault successfully secured the release of classified naval documentation through persistent Freedom of Information Act litigation. The disclosed material comprised a previously secret Congressional briefing from October 2019 concerning Unidentified Aerial Phenomena investigations. Publication of these records required navigating substantial bureaucratic obstacles, including mandatory review procedures imposed by the Department of Defense. The released briefing contains twenty pages of presentations and supporting materials, though substantial portions remain obscured through classification redactions. This disclosure represents another incremental step toward transparency regarding governmental UAP research programs. Via TheBlackVault.com (FOIA).
