The Black Vault · 10 pages · text from the file's own layer

This is a 2021 US Nuclear Regulatory Commission response to FOIA request NRC-2021-000177 from John Greenewald, published by The Black Vault. The request sought UAP and UFO records collected since 1975. Only NRC Region I found responsive records. The release includes a 1984 request from Citizens Against UFO Secrecy about a reported July 14, 1984 boomerang-shaped object over the Indian Point nuclear plant, along with the NRC's reply that it had no such documents. It also contains 2015 NRC emails about an unidentified object seen near the Pilgrim plant.

Agency records subject to the request are enclosed.
Records subject to the request that contain information originated by or of interest to another Federal agency have been referred to
that agency (See Part I.D -- Comments) for a disclosure determination and direct response to you.
We are continuing to process your request.
See Part I.D -- Comments.
PART I.A -- FEES
AMOUNT You will be billed by NRC for the amount indicated.
You will receive a refund for the amount indicated.
Fees waived.
Since the minimum fee threshold was not met,
you will not be charged fees.
Due to our delayed response, you will not be
charged search and/or duplication fees that
would otherwise be applicable to your request.
PART I.B -- INFORMATION NOT LOCATED OR WITHHELD FROM DISCLOSURE
We did not locate any agency records responsive to your request. Note: Agencies may treat three discrete categories of law
enforcement and national security records as not subject to the FOIA ("exclusions"). See 5 U.S.C. 552(c). This is a standard
notification given to all requesters; it should not be taken to mean that any excluded records do, or do not, exist.
We have withheld certain information pursuant to the FOIA exemptions described, and for the reasons stated, in Part II.
Because this is an interim response to your request, you may not appeal at this time. We will notify you of your right to appeal any of
the responses we have issued in response to your request when we issue our final determination.
You may appeal this final determination within 90 calendar days of the date of this response. If you submit an appeal by mail,
address it to the FOIA Officer, at U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Mail Stop T-6 A60M, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001. You
may submit an appeal by e-mail to FOIA.resource@nrc.gov. You may fax an appeal to (301) 415-5130. Please be sure to include on
your submission that it is a “FOIA Appeal.” Only a pre-registered user may file an appeal through FOIA Online, https://

still submit their appeal by one of the above mentioned options.
