Navy warns watchdog site releasing all UFO videos would 'harm national security'

A watchdog website says its Freedom of Information Act request for every UFO video held by the Navy was denied due to national security reasons.

The Black Vault says that, since April 2020, it has been attempting to get all videos of UFOs (also called unidentified aerial phenomena) possessed by the Navy via a FOIA request.

After receiving several rejections in which the Navy would neither confirm nor deny the existence of the videos, the group says it received a response denying the request for the "sensitive information."

"The requested videos contain sensitive information pertaining to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) and are classified and are exempt from disclosure," the letter read. "The release of this information will harm national security."

The letter also referenced three UFO videos, which were released in late 2017 and early 2018, in denying the broad request, saying the circumstances of those videos were different when compared to the other footage in the Navy's possession.

The Black Vault says it plans to appeal the rejection.

UFOs have gained more discussion recently after the Pentagon released new footage of UFOs during a congressional hearing in May.

Comment: From Black Vault's announcement:

The request was simple. It asked for all videos that were designated "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena", just like the FLIR1, Gimbal and GoFast videos that they had previously released and labeled as "UAP". The FOIA case filed sought ALL of them.

It seemed plausible if there were three, there were more at NAVAIR. However, in March of 2022, NAVAIR would deny that request stating that they found no additional videos. It seemed strange they had three, and only those three, but other requests had already been filed by The Black Vault to seek out more places UAP videos might be hiding.

On February 2, 2021, The Black Vault had also filed FOIA request DON-NAVY-2021-001456. Given that it was recognized by Congress, and stated in the media numerous times, this specific case was filed with the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) which was said to be the home for the UAP Task Force (UAPTF). Yet, it would take 17 months for ONI to inform The Black Vault that the videos, if any designation "UAP" should exist, would be housed at the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (N2/N6), and a new case needed to be filed there. It appeared that the 17 month wait endured, was a complete waste of time.

A new case was filed DON-NAVY-2022-010360 to N2/N6, and only two months after that was filed on July 11, 2022, The Black Vault received the official denial.

"The UAP Task Force has responded back to DNS-36 and have stated that the requested videos contain sensitive information pertaining to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) and are classified and are exempt from disclosure in their entirety under exemption 5 U.S.C. § 552 (b)(1) in accordance with Executive Order 13526 and the UAP Security Classification Guide," Gary Cason, Deputy Director, DON FOIA/PA Program Office, said in the response letter. "The release of this information will harm national security as it may provide adversaries valuable information regarding Department of Defense/Navy operations, vulnerabilities, and/or capabilities. No portions of the videos can be segregated for release."

Potentially seeing a justification of an appeal, the U.S. Navy uncharacteristically gave additional details for their decision, which cited the previous release of three UAP videos.

"While three UAP videos were released in the past, the facts specific to those three videos are unique in that those videos were initially released via unofficial channels before official release," Cason stated in the letter. "Those events were discussed extensively in the public domain; in fact, major news outlets conducted specials on these events. Given the amount of information in the public domain regarding these encounters, it was possible to release the files without further damage to national security."

The Black Vault has filed an appeal seeking the release of the videos denied.

Some fruits of their labor:

It’s the same ol’ ploy: “Danger to National Security” and of course it is just bullshit cover for them. UFOs are projected to be a threat, always a threat, therefore you need us to protect you.

The US government is so rotten it is falling off the bones.

You know these pricks are itching to flip to the scary Aliens narrative whenever the coof phear porn fails to terrorize....

Animanarchy · 2022-09-14T06:57:48Z

DeliciousTears Maybe they have their worst bioweapons in store for that.

Look out folks, it's the ET flu now. Unless we are all subservient to their demands, relayed to you through us, the aliens will release deadlier variants all over the planet and there is nothing we can do to stop them. If we do then they promised us a vaccine. It just happens that their demands are very similar to ours, just more.. draconian.

DeliciousTears · 2022-09-14T14:31:35Z

Animanarchy I just hope the special effects are good. This coof movie has become terribly tedious.

DeliciousTears IKR, they didn't even bother to formulate a convincing plot line. Holograms in the sky sound fun.

At the attached link, is a William Cooper documentary. He wrote Behold a Pale Horse about the manipulation going on. At about the 5:40 minute mark, he recounts his experience as a Navy Intelligence officer on a sub in 1956 regarding a saucer. He died under suspicious circumstances being shot by sheriff or police in November 2001. [Link]

Dwoods44 Well, we can't have folks running around exposing the game, can we? Gary Webb, Hunter Thompson, Julian Assange, etc.

Dwoods44 · 2022-09-27T11:10:26Z

balboa schwartz At the time of his death he was focusing on the 9/11 manipulation from 2 months earlier. At the time he was one of the most noted critics of the bin Laden narrative. Right, there couldn't be exposure of the narrative.

Animanarchy · 2022-10-11T14:22:25Z

I've seen UFOs twice. I don't know if they were of extraterrestrial or human origin but I also know aliens exist from an out of body experience and I look down at all the retards that say they can't exist, because. .. well just because, they can't grok the concept.

Dwoods44 · 2022-10-11T15:16:53Z

Animanarchy I haven't had the experience, but researching the birth of the CIA and the National Security Act in 1947, makes it clear there was information TPB don't want the public to know. Why? Technology and the speed of light deception, that no one would spend light years coming here. Human history - were extraterrestrials involved in the development and perhaps genetics of human civilizations?

Animanarchy · 2022-10-11T15:45:01Z

Dwoods44 Interesting concepts that I consider sometimes, to no satisfactory conclusion. Short form story. There were maybe 6? One flew over me putting on a trippy red and light concentric circular pattern working towards the middle that dimmed right above me, maybe a km/0.6miles up. Kind of sounded like a jet. I don't even know if they were drones of some sort - a little unsubtle if so - or (cue I want to believe)* - I've seen an F-15 demonstration and it had nothing on what I saw.

I never saw any of the UFO crafts, just lights from them.

Other time they were just sitting around with a golden light, 6 certified, in a pyramidal formation. 1 above, 2 below, 3 below, all evenly spaced.

Animanarchy I haven't dug into it in detail. It is clear to me that the military have technology which is not public knowledge which behaves like UFO - incredible acceleration and velocity with no inertial effect of right angle change in direction.

Where did the technology come from? Bill Cooper, author of Behold a Pale Horse, took groups out near Area 51 and watched the light show at night. A person in the state of Washington has set up a camp area where people can come and watch UFOs.

Dwoods44 · 2022-11-17T12:52:49Z

Fool on the Hill Bill Cooper was shot by "law enforcement" in November 2001 after his broadcasts concerning the false flag of 9/11. His radio program was very popular. There is a documentary by his close associate that is biographical and goes into the elimination of Bill.

Fool on the Hill · 2022-11-21T21:28:23Z

Dwoods44 I am familiar with Bill Cooper. I think he exposed what he could, I am sure there was much he had no exposure too. This is by design, very few people have knowledge outside the small section they are assigned to. The stories these whistleblowers sound fantastical and almost beyond belief. Is what they report true? I a, not sure, but they thought it was, and many have been murdered to keep them quiet. That alone is evidence someone does not want this 8n formation shared. Prison Planet.

Dwoods44 · 2022-11-22T14:18:49Z

Fool on the Hill Bill was a former Naval Intelligence officer, which means he was in the Navy to make connections. His account of the huge saucer ship leaving and entering the ocean that he saw from a submarine conning tower and how the Navy leadership told him and others to not talk about it is noteworthy.

Ragnar · 2022-10-11T13:53:45Z

Harm national security how? What, it will price that the US military isn't the supreme force on earth?? Come on! Please, we must do away with the fig leaf term the government uses to hide so much of the evil they do or anything they don't want people to know about. So publish the UFO information. Hell, publish everything!

If anyone missed this kind of old video, well these avians (no, not asians, autocorrect) are not happy with the 5G electromagnetic interference. They're pulling out the wires to the transmitters on a tower, seemingly just to cut the power to them, not for nest material. [Link]

Release all US Navy UFO videos proving US Navy is completely incompetent, flying super-expensive and worthless peace of junk, - waste of taxpayer money - unable to defend USA, only weapons dealer families are enriching themselves = " this information will harm national security." indeed. Government deposed after Sheeple see Government powerless to protect them from UFO harm.
