Documents / FOIA release
This Office of the Secretary of Defense FOIA release (18-F-0724) holds August 2017 emails between Luis Elizondo of OUSD(I) and Michael Russo of the Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review. They include DD Form 1910 requests to clear three videos, titled "GoFast", "Gimble" and "FLIR", for release. Elizondo said the files were unclassified and would support a database of UAS threats. A Navy contact checked with NAVAIR, and a stamp shows the videos cleared for open publication on August 24, 2017.
Read from the scan by GLM-OCR; expect the odd misread word.
