The Black Vault files FOIA request on Fastwalkers to Space Force
The Black Vault submitted a Freedom of Information Act request to the U.S. Space Force seeking all procedures and manuals referencing 'Fastwalkers' and 'Slowwalkers'. The inquiry sought insight into military tracking protocols for orbital objects detected by satellite systems.
Background
In July 2023, The Black Vault filed a FOIA request with the United States Space Force to obtain documentation regarding 'Fastwalkers' and 'Slowwalkers'. These designations reportedly originate from NORAD and describe unidentified objects entering, leaving, or hovering in orbital space at various velocities, typically captured by defense satellite systems. The request specifically sought current and historical military procedures for identifying and reporting these tracks. This action represented an effort to uncover classified protocols governing anomalous objects outside Earth's atmosphere, distinct from atmospheric UAP investigations conducted by the U.S. Navy and other agencies.
