Documents / FOIA release
These are two U.S. Office of the Secretary of Defense (Public Affairs) briefing cards, dated November 23 and December 9, 2021, released under FOIA 22-F-0381. They give talking points and prepared answers on the Deputy Secretary's memo creating the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group (AOIMSG) as successor to the UAPTF, with an executive council for oversight. The cards say data remains insufficient, there is no single explanation for UAP, and AOIMSG will not search for extraterrestrials.
