Second Navy range fouler release

Department of the Navy via The Black Vault · 2023-12 · 111 pages · text from the file's own layer

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.

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. You may contact the Navy FOIA
Public Liaison Mr. Chris Julka by phone (703) 697-0031 or via email Christopher.a.julka.civ@us.navy.mil. You
may also contact the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) through their website ogis.archives.gov, by
email ogis@nara.gov, or phone (202) 741-5770.
Please direct questions to the FOIA Service Center regarding the actions taken to process your request by phone
(202) 685-0412 or email usn.ncr.dns.mbx.don-foia-pa@us.navy.mil.
Sincerely,
R. STRONG
Director
