Documents / FOIA release
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.

We're doing our one-pager on the program on JWICS and sent an update last night. The only thing I see that needs checking in this is when Elizondo actually came to work for OUSDI. CoS should be able to give actual year, as it was prior to 2010. Thanks Neill Original Message From: Reid, Garry P SES OSD OUSD INTEL (US) Sent: Thursday. December 21. 2017 6:19 PM To.
