This December 8, 2023 letter from the Department of the Navy's FOIA/PA Program Office answers John Greenewald of The Black Vault. His July 2022 FOIA request sought UAP reports involving the USS Theodore Roosevelt from 2014 onward. The Navy points him to a publicly posted set of redacted range fouler reports. Attached are heavily redacted classified Range Fouler Reporting Forms used by the UAPTF, and some narratives describe multiple UAS sighted around the reporting platform.
DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS 2000 NAVY PENTAGON WASHINGTON DC 20350-2000 5720 Ser DNS-36(H) AK/23U114465 December 08, 2023 Sent via email to: john@greenewald.com Mr. John Greenewald The Black Vault 27305 W. Live Oak Rd., Suite 1203 Castaic, CA 91384 Dear Mr. Greenewald: Your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) /Privacy Act (PA) request dated July 11, 2022 was received in this office the same day and assigned case number DON-NAVY-2022-010359. You requested, “… a copy of records, electronic or otherwise (including videos and photos), of all classified and unclassified reports filed regarding incidents in 2014 through to the date of this request, of all Unidentified Flying Object of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena reports. Please include all reports, investigations, memos, etc. that pertain to these incidents referenced as occurring around the USS Theodore Roosevelt. Previously, a similar request was submitted via FOIA Case DON-NAVY-2019-007449 but yielded a "no records" response. However, I believe that official Navy statements, which determined two "unidentified aerial phenomena" or UAP videos, were filmed in 2015, and was taken aboard the USS Roosevelt, responsive records SHOULD EXIST as requested. See:https://www.theblackvault.com/documentarchive/u-s-navy-releases-dates-of-three-officially-acknowledged- encounters-with-phenomena/ I look forward to your response.” This information is publically available and maybe accessed via: https://www.secnav.navy.mil/foia/readingroom/SitePages/Home.aspx under Case Files > UAP Info > Document labeled as: “RF Reports Navy Redacted (202306).” In this instance, fees are not applicable. You have the right to seek dispute resolution services with this determination.
