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.
According to Helfrich, "The day after CFi's press conference (October 21) and on the eve of the airing of SCI Frs Kecksburg documentary (October 24), a NASA official contacted me to say the agency was forwarding 35 pages of documents responsive to our FOIA request and apologized somewhat too profusely that it had 'overlooked' sending out the results of Its research at an earlier date." "CFi was determined to give NASA the benefit of the doubt and to assume that the agency conducted a reasonable, good faith search -- especially given that NASA itself had decided back in June that Its initial response to CFI's FOJA request was woefully inadequate," continued Hetfrlch. "But our trust in NASA's reliability proved to be far too generous. It is difficult not to conclude that NASA's response was simply a ploy to undercut the force of CFi's press conference and the audience for its documentary on Kecksburg. " "NASA'S stonewalling leaves us no choice," said Rothschild. "We intend to file a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in the coming weeks - as soon as our attorneys tell us that we have officially exhausted all administrative procedures 50 as to comply with the requirements of the court." SCI FI Channel's Hammer also announced that on Friday, November 21 at 9-11 PM (ET/PT), SCI FI will broadcast "Kecksburg UFO: New Evidence, " a new special on the Kecksburg UFO incident with updates on the laWSUit, as well as new Information and interviews that shed more light on the mysterious 1965 crash. # # #
