This is our final response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), dated and received in this office on
November 10, 2022. Your request was assigned the above-referenced tracking number. You
seek the following:
“All emails, with any level of classification, which contain the following keywords:
"Unidentified Aerial" and/or "Unidentified Flying" and/or "UAP" and/or "UFO" and/or
"Unidentified Spacecraft" and/or "Unidentified aircraft" and/or "UAPTF" and/or “AARO”
and/or “Anomaly Resolution”
PLEASE INCLUDE ALL ATTACHMENTS TO EMAILS FOUND.
I ask that you search the follow e-mail boxes, with the time frames in the parentheticals:
- Christy Hansen, Goddard Airborne Sciences Manager (January 1, 2016, through the date of
processing this request)
You may omit any newspaper articles that are publicly available, which do NOT contain
commentary. Should the email have additional commentary including a newspaper, I ask that
you please include those as responsive to this request.”
In an email dated November 29, 2022, you agreed to omit the overly broad term “Anomaly
Resolution” from the search. Additionally, in an email dated December 15, 2022, you also
agreed to amend your request to omit any non-UAP related information.
FOIA to determine whether they may be disclosed to you. Based on that review, this office is
providing the following:
NASA redacted from the enclosed documents certain information pursuant to the following
FOIA exemptions:
Exemption 3 concerns matters that are “specifically exempted from disclosure by statute if
that statute. The relevant withholding statute is 10 U.S.C. § 424, which provides (except as
required by the President or for information provided to Congress), that no provision of law
shall be construed to require the disclosure of the organization or any function of the National
Reconnaissance Office (NRO); the number of persons employed by or assigned or detailed to
the NRO; or the name or official title, occupational series, grade, or salary of any such person.
1
All page counts are approximate numbers.
2
Per your agreement, 55 pages of non UAP related information, were considered out of scope of the request.
Therefore, they are not included in the number of pages provided above.
3
Exemption 6 allows withholding of “personnel and medical files and similar files the
disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.”
5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(6)(emphasis added). NASA invokes exemption 6 to protect work cell
phone numbers.
Fees
Provisions of the FOIA allow us to recover part of the cost of complying with your request. In
this instance, because the cost is below the $50 minimum, there is no charge.
Appeal
You have the right to appeal my action regarding your request. Your appeal must be received
within 90 days of the date of this response. Please send your appeal to:
Administrator
NASA Headquarters
Executive Secretariat
ATTN: FOIA Appeals
MS 9R17
300 E Street S.W.
Washington, DC 20546
Both the envelope and letter of appeal should be clearly marked, “Appeal under the Freedom
of Information Act.” You must also include a copy of your initial request, the adverse
determination, and any other correspondence with the FOIA office. In order to expedite the
appellate process and ensure full consideration of your appeal, your appeal should contain a
brief statement of the reasons you believe this initial determination should be reversed.
Additional information on submitting an appeal is set forth in the NASA FOIA regulations at
14 C.F.R. § 1206.700.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or (202)

does not stop the 90 day appeal clock.
