NRC UFO FOIA release (2021)

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.

Thanks dana; appreciate the foll ow-up. For the record we don't regulate UFOs so I assume
no need for additional action.

The security manager got back to me. Plymouth PO arrived on site and it turned out that
the object was actually much higher (thousands of feet) and indiscernible at that distance.
FAA was contacted to no avail. MA State Police sent a helicopter, but even they couldn't
identify the object. They think it might have been a weather balloon of some sort, but no
one was definite. They are calling it a UFO.
Nonetheless, it doesn't appear to have caused any kind of threat to the site (distance) nor
was it indicative of any kind of surveillance or suspicious activity that would meet criteria for
a SIDS report so one was not made.
That should close this episode out.

sighting?
Thanks

Ray,
What happened with that? Did they eventually make a report?
