Documents / FOIA release
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.

For the record we don't regulate UFOs so I assume no need for additional action.

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.
