NASA released 207 pages in full, 7 in part and withheld 31, noting that most of the lawsuit case files had been destroyed under records retention rules.

NASA CONTINUES TO STONEWALL ON KECKSBURG:
NEWLY RELEASED DOCUMENTS RAISE MORE QUESTIONS,
SAY SCI FI AND CFi
IN NEW DEVELOPMENT, US ARCHIVES RELEASE TO CFi and SCI FI
2800 PAGES OF DECLASSIFIED AIR FORCE RECORDS
Washington, D,C, - Lawyers for the COalition for Freedom of Information (CFi) said

FOIA request to release its records on the 1965 UFO incident in Kecksburg . This
announcement comes after CFi's careful review of 36 pages released by NASA hours

government agency.
"The documents released shed little light on the inCident, but are indicative of how hard
NASA is trying to prevent the public from finding out what really happened on
December 9, 1965," said CFi attorney, Lee Helfrich with the Washington, DC firm of
Lobel, Novins, and Lamont.
In another development, last week the National Archives notified researchers for CFi
and SCI R that the U.S. Air Force had declassified some of the records requested. "Our
researchers are now poring through these 2800 pages to determine if any are relevant
to the Kecksburg Incident," said Ed Rothschild, Director for the Coalition for Freedom of
Information,
