Black Vault FOIA fights — DoD law-enforcement exemption on UAP files (2025-26).
documentedgovernment_studySOF/JSOC UAP Retrieval Claim
Documented FOIA-transparency fights: DoD invokes the law-enforcement exemption (b)(7) to withhold >95% of UAP files despite AARO not being a law-enforcement body; withheld ALL records on its own released 'Middle East 2024' video; and REFUSED even to search for 'Immaculate Constellation' (Jan 2026), stating the subject 'does not exist'.
The documented SECRECY-MECHANISM side of disclosure — administrative FOIA denial/appeal activity (NOT courtroom litigation, correcting a common framing). Evidences the blocker-faction's procedural withholding. Primary FOIA records via The Black Vault.
