Subject: Article with Follow up query from (b)(6) (CBS)
CHINFO Team,nand r7,
The UAP article below (it was in my IW News Clips this morning... (13)(6) --- I've added you to the daily
distro) mentions a still photo of a UAP supposedly taken by an F/A 18 pilot using his cellphone. See the portion
highlighted.
That article has generated a follow-on query today from (b)(6) of CBS:
"I'm told there really is a cell phone picture taken by an F-18 pilot last year of a triangular shaped UFO. It's part of a
classified briefing, but is the cell phone picture itself classified? If the Navy's policy is to release material that would
have to be released in response to an FOIA request, can you release the photo? Or do I have to file an FOIA request? If
so, who should it go to?
I told (b)(6) (by email) I was trying to contact my expert to get some details on that claim.., and that I would get back to
him.
No word yet.
CHINFO/Sue,
Wanted to make sure you were aware in case
Will keep you posted on what I learn.
Regards,
(b)(6) contacted you.

The Debrief, 2 December 2020... by Tim McMillan
In an exclusive feature for The Debrief, U.S. military and intelligence officials, as well as Pentagon emails, offer an unprecedented
glimpse behind the scenes of what's currently going on with The Pentagon's investigation into UFOs, or as they term them,
"Unidentified Aerial Phenomena" (UAP).
For the last two years, the Department of Defense's newly revamped "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force" (or UAPTF) has
been busy briefing lawmakers, Intelligence Community stakeholders, and the highest levels of the U.S. military on encounters with
what they say are mysterious airborne objects that defy conventional explanations.
Along with classified briefings, multiple senior U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the matter say two classified intelligence
reports on UAP have been widely distributed to the U.S. Intelligence Community. Numerous sources from various government
