Documents / FOIA release
This Black Vault release contains the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's March 23, 2017 response to John Greenewald's FOIA request 2017-0368 for UFO records collected since 1975. The NRC withheld identifying information. The records cover three allegation files. The first is a 2010 Region IV case about a former security officer who said a triangular UFO hovered over the protected area at Cooper Nuclear Station between 1986 and 1989. The other two are a 1997 letter claiming DoD flew nuclear-powered craft from New Mexico and a 1998 California complaint.

Thanks. From: Taylor, Nick Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2010 4:47-AM To: Rollins, Jesse Cc: Baca, Bernadette Subject: Results of corrective action program search Jesse, Sorry I missed your call. We're working weird hours at Cooper right now due to flooding, ongoing event on site. I did some searching of the records in the corrective action program. I searched for hits between 111/1986 and 12/31/1989 for the following words and did not find any hits that sounded remotely close to what you are looking for: •uto• ~ng• •unidentified" "protected area" •hover" If you can think of any other word searches you want me to try, let me know. One precaution - I'd be careful about concluding that if an event wasn't recorded in CAP that it didn't occur. Corrective action program implementation in the late 1980's \\'aS nothing like what it is now. Case in point- only 1020 condition reports were written in the time frame 1/1/1986-12/31/1989. By contrast Cooper documents almost 10,000 condition reports per year in the modem day. lfs entirely possible that an event could have occurred in the late 1980's and we would find no record of it in CAP. Hope that helps, Nick Taylor Senior Resident Inspector, USNRC
