Department of the Navy

FROM: Larry W. Bryant

The May 14, 2002, edition of USAF Manual 10-206's Chapter 5
("Communications Instructions [for] Reporting Vital Intelligence
Sightings" [including sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects])
prescribes the following intelligence-gathering process in its
paragraph No. 5.7.4.: " Make every effort to document
sightings with as many photographs as possible. Send undeveloped
film or prints and negatives, with a brief written report and other
identifying information, to the Director of Naval Intelligence,
Department of the Navy, Washington, DC 20305. The Department of
the Navy will process the film and return one copy of each print and a
roll of new film to the individual."
Accordingly, under terms of the U. S. Freedom of Information Act,
I hereby request that you send me a copy of all Director of Naval
Intelligence-received and Director of Naval Intelligence-generated
records pertaining to those CIRVIS-UFO-related cases in which your
agency has processed any photographic and/or videographic evidence
during the period January 1, 2006, through September 7, 2008 -- said
evidentiary records to include any and all military jet interceptors'
gun-camera film and videographic recordings. Note: if any
of this documentation includes photographic/videographic evidence of
the widely reported large, dark "flying triangles" of
mysterious origin/purpose (regardless of whether they be labeled
"UFOs"), I expect that material to be included in your
fulfillment of this request.
Since I submit this request as a representative of the news media
(principally as a columnist for the monthly newsstand periodical
"UFO Magazine"), I ask that you waive all
records-search/review fees incident to your fulfilling this request.
For a sampling of my free-lance publication credits, see the author's

By snail-mail, I'm sending to you a signed printout of this
e-formatted letter.
