Office of the Secretary of Defense · 2022 · 20 pages · text from the file's own layer

This Office of the Secretary of Defense FOIA release (22-F-0956) collects internal Pentagon emails from October 2017 to May 2018 about former staffer Luis Elizondo. Garry Reid wrote that Elizondo's claim to have led classified UFO programs was "pure fiction as best I can tell" and reported concerns that he might disclose classified information. Other emails cover a WIRED journalist's questions about DOPSR video clearance and efforts to find the Navy classification authority for a video.

Sir,
Spoke with the Detachment and our HQ, and at this point we have requested assistance from NCI in order to determine
the appropriate OCA for the video in question as our efforts thus far have been unsuccessful. is going to assist in
moving the NCIS request forward so that we can determine if an actual criminal or Cl allegation exists. I apologize that
we don' have anything more definitive at the moment, but hopefully with NCIS' assistance we can address this in short
order.
