Documents / FOIA release
This is a July 27, 2021 FOIA response from NASA's Office of Communications to John Greenewald, Jr. It covers records from Leslie Kean's lawsuit against NASA seeking Kecksburg documents. 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. The enclosures include court declarations, a 2003 appeal decision ordering a broader search, a 2019 FOIA response, and Stan Gordon's account of the missing NASA fragology files.

This announcement comes after CFi's careful review of 36 pages released by NASA hours after SCI FI Channel announced its unprecedented support for legal action against the 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,
