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.

the videos being cleared. Let me know if I can be of further assistance. Thank you for your time and have a great day.

Please verify the identity of the sender, and confirm the authenticity of all links contained within the message prior to copying and pasting the address to a Web browser. Hello, My name is. (b)(6) and I'm a journalist and contributor at WIRED magazine. I'm working on a story that involves the claim that certain videos went through DOPSR and were officially approved for release to the public. I was wondering if you could tell me what paperwork would be available to back that claim. I'm just asking about the process/documentation in general--if a source showed me paperwork purporting to prove that a piece of media had gone through your office/procedures and been approved for release, what paperwork would that be? I've been speaking to (b)(6) in the press office about the specifics of the story I'm working on, so I apologize if this is jumping the chain. She and I should be speaking again shortly, and if this question is more appropriately directed to her, then I apologize, and please just let me know, and I will ask her directly the next time we talk.
