Documents / FOIA release
The National Security Agency sent this FOIA response on 6 September 2019 in case 105997, answering John Greenewald's request of 21 December 2018 for Intellipedia entries on Moscovium, Element 115 and Bob Lazar. NSA released three versions of the Intellipedia page on ununpentium, with some material withheld under FOIA exemptions (b)(3) and (b)(6). The pages cover the synthesis, properties and isotopes of element 115. They say Bob Lazar's account of the element is considered pseudoscience and that no openly available empirical evidence supports his claims.

(U) See the discussion page for more infomlation about the status of this page. Ununpentium is the temporary name of a synthetic superheavy element in the periodic table that has the temporary symbol Uup and has the atomic number liS. Multiple isotopes have been made by a fusion of calcium and americium (Uup-288 with the most neutrons). It can be referred to as eka-bismuth. Element liS also falls in the center of the theoretical island of stability. Although no stable isotopes have yet been found, conventional models predict that if stable isotopes of element lIS can be produced, they will most likely need the "magic number" of 184 neutrons, which would be Uup-299. The currently fabricated isotopes only had at most 173 neutrons (Uup-288). UnunpentiumI Uup '~5f. ... I? .. r.
