John Greenewald reports a rare occurrence where a government office released information to him he'd not requested. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said it didn't find records responsive to a specific Greenewald request, but did provide "previously released correspondence involving AARO and the UAPTF" to an unspecified requestor. John applies his expertise to summarizing the surprising material, and the problems posed by weather and long duration "pico" balloons. On the other hand, John reports a case in which the FAA Cites National Security to Withhold UAP Communications Despite Unclassified Report. This denial stemmed from a June 2021 FOIA request, just after the June 25th release of the unclassified Office of the Director of National Intelligence's "Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena." John had sought information regarding the Federal Aviation Administration's communications with the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, and also with the ODNI that figured in that Preliminary Assessment. Again John uses his skills to distill a variety of observations and speculations. On communication and cooperation with agencies outside the U.S., Micah Hanks notes that Concerns Over Unauthorized UAS Incidents Prompt New International Defense Collaboration. The U.S. will partner with Singapore to sponsor a competition for commercial companies "to produce innovative counter-UAS systems and drone communication capabilities." (WM)
