Navy UAP Emails: FOIA Release Reveals Internal Coordination
The Black Vault published internal U.S. Navy correspondence obtained through Freedom of Information Act litigation, revealing discussions about unidentified aerial phenomena task force operations and international intelligence coordination.
Background
The document release comprises seventeen pages of email threads from October through December 2021, centered on Navy Program Manager Yasir Qureshi. The correspondence reveals internal processing of civilian UAP reports submitted to the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, including historical sightings reported by a Federal Aviation Administration employee. The emails also expose coordination with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and planning for classified briefings with Five Eyes allies. Notably, the Navy failed to properly redact personal information, inadvertently revealing contact details and identities that required privacy protection.
