The USAF must consider Lee Graham a thorn in their side.
Graham has been sending numerous Fredom of Information Act requests to the Air Force since the 1980s, mostly on the topic of extraterrestrial objects and their detection by a US satellite.
Recently Graham has been forwarding copies of his latest FOIA requests and the response from various government offices to STARstream Research, where they have been dutifully logged, copied and filed for the record.
I retrieved the latest package from Graham this past weekend. Graham's latest FOIA request concerns the detection of UFOs of an extraterrestrial origin by the DSP satellite, which Graham claims is capable of distinguishing controlled extraterrestrial vehicles from man-made objects and natural phenomena.
So did the USAF deny the alleged extraterrestrial nature of UFO incidents that were the subject of Graham's request?
No. They did not.
Instead of offering "no records found" or outright denying an extraterrestrial presence, the Air Force used the government equivalent of pleading the fifth amendment, the so-called "Glomar response."
"The existence or nonexistence of records which would reveal a connection or interest in the matters relating to those set forth in your request is classified in accordance with Executive Order 12958. Therefore, persuant to Title 5, United States Code, Section 552(b)(1), your request is denied. By this statement, the Department of the Air Force neither confirms nor denies that such records may or may not exist."
