Good morning (b)(6)
In light of all the craziness going on right now, I hope everything is going well for you.
I've been told there was recently a personnel change regarding whose heading up the UAP Task Force.
Additionally, the UAP Task Force is now being managed in a Navy billet out of OUSDI.
• Can you confirm this information?
• Is Navy's ONI still the primary component responsible for the UAPTF or is it now OUSDI?
Thanks for your help,
Best Wishes,
