Item 2.8: FOIA Request to the Director of Naval Intelligence (re Photographic Evidence Accompanying CIRVIS Reports)

TO:  Director of Naval Intelligence
       ATTN:  Freedom of Information Manager
       Headquarters, U. S. Department of the Navy
       The Pentagon
       Washington, DC  20305

FROM:  Larry W. Bryant
            3518 Martha Custis Drive
            Alexandria, VA  22302

DATE:  September 7, 2008

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 blog at http://ufoview.posterous.com .

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

LARRY W. BRYANT
Director, Washington, D. C., Office of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy
