This FOIA release from DoD Washington Headquarters Services collects 2020 Pentagon public affairs and Navy emails about press queries on unidentified aerial phenomena. It includes the August 14, 2020 announcement that Deputy Secretary David Norquist had approved the UAP Task Force, and follow-ups on a CBS query about a claimed F/A-18 cellphone photo of a triangular object. It also reproduces The Debrief and Vice/Motherboard articles, and internal emails on DOPSR's handling of the Navy videos and Luis Elizondo's AATIP role.

CIV OSD PA (USA)"(b)(6) (b)(5) 4- 1 From: Stratton, John F (Jay) SES USN DCNO N2N6 (USA , Sent: Wednesday, October 21, 2020 6:55 AM To: (b)(6) CIV USN DCNO N2N6 (USA) CIV OSD PA (USA) (b)(6) (b)(6) (b)(6) (b)(6) (b)(5) (b)(5) DOPSR never approved release of the videos to the general public. They only approved release to other USG and contractors specifically for use in research/database development. Elizondo was the requestor and after the initial request, he asked if it could be expanded to general public release. That approval was never granted. Regarding VADM Trussler's question, that would ultimately need to go to OSD OGC and OUSD(I&S), but first we'd need to check the date for when MN departed DoD — was he still an official at the time of the leak?
