Documents / FOIA release
This U.S. Navy FOIA email chain from June and July 2020 covers the handling of request DON-NAVY-2020-007330. That request sought records on the history and custody of videos of two F-18 Hornets tracking a UFO, which were cited in AFOSI file 3290517356125.

Carrier Strike Group Eight, CVW-1 and VFA-11 found no responsive records, so a no-records response was prepared.
