Thank you so much for your time. I was hoping to get a few statements for an upcoming piece I am working
on concerning UAPs and the Navy reporting protocol. If possible, any replies to the following questions would
be greatly appreciated.
According to the U.S. Navy on April 23rd, 2019, "the Navy is updating and formalizing the
process by which reports of any such suspected incursions can be made to the cognizant
authorities. A new message to the fleet that will detail the steps for reporting is in draft." I
have reached out to about a dozen active Navy servicemen/women who were unaware of
such a message, including never being made aware of UAP reporting through NAVYADMIN
either. Has a formal message been sent out Navy-wide yet, and if so, is there anything that
can be shared about the reporting protocol?
Are there any updates on the Senate Intelligence Committee's request for a portion of UAP
information to be made public by the UAP Task Force?
Will the UAPTF, or Navy in general, when looking at UAP reports, be looking at UAP nation-
wdie, or is it strictly related to military ranges/restricted airspace?
Is the U.S. Navy or Department of Defense aware of a photo and possible accompanying
memo related to a triangular-shaped aerial vehicle emerging from a body of water?
