US: USMC UAP Policy Released via FOIA
Investigative platform The Black Vault obtained the classified Marine Corps UAP policy through a Freedom of Information Act request filed in April 2024. The release revealed standardized military reporting procedures and counterintelligence notification requirements previously concealed from public view.
Background
Investigative platform The Black Vault successfully obtained classified Marine Corps procedures through transparency legislation, revealing previously concealed military protocols for anomalous phenomena. The release resulted from an April 2024 information request seeking documentation on coordination between the service branch and the Defense Department's anomaly resolution office.
The disclosed materials confirm that Marine Corps units must utilize standardized reporting templates when transferring data or physical evidence related to unidentified aerial objects. These documents specifically detail notification pathways requiring immediate alerts to counterintelligence elements following any encounter observations.
Publication of these records demonstrates continued progress in government transparency regarding military UAP investigation procedures. The release parallels earlier document disclosures to independent researchers, suggesting systematic implementation of information sharing policies across military branches.
