USAF OPREP 3 (Operational Reports)

[bogeyman]

I filed for these documents under Air Force Instruction 10-206 OPREP 3, through the FOIA.

These documents give indication as to the nature of the contents of such reports, you will find a designated letter after OPREP-3 which is important to give you the sensitive nature of the reports. There has been only one OPREP 3 document released pertaining to unidentified activity (UFO?). I do know since I have seen an official letter that there are OPREP 3 reports in the DOD concerning UFOs which are deemed "extremely sensitive." This was in the 1990s, so how many more reports have there been?

The first link is AFI 10-206; the second and third are the declassified OPREP 3 reports, and the forth is the unidentified (UFO?) OPREP 3.

I quoted in some of my requests the following for unidentifed aerial devices:

"Air Force Instruction 10-206 dated 6 September 2011, entitled "Operational Reporting" for example “3.2.12. BEELINE (OPREP-3B). Used to report any event or incident that meets Air Force-level interest, but does not meet national or international level interest requirements. Although the report normally remains within USAF channels, BEELINE information is made available to agencies outside the USAF (NMCC, State Department, etc.) through asynchronous reporting.”, and “3.2.1. PINNACLE (OPREP-3P). This report is used by any unit to provide the National Military Command Center (NMCC) and, as appropriate, combatant commands and services with immediate notification of any incident or event where national or international level interest is indicated. OPREP-3P reports are not restricted to operational information. Any inadvertent, accidental, unauthorized, or unexpected event or incident will be upgraded from an AF OPREP-3B to an AF OPREP-3P”

It is very odd that with all the sightings across the US and the world not one report is found throughout many of the airbases, it makes me wonder as to the nature of the effort of the "thorough search", whether this varies according to the air base or individuals conducting the search. There is also a possibility that the subject matter is highly compartmented that only a few are aware of the existence of such reports, and hidden away from view.

Yet it seems that with all this effort none of the major air bases, are willing to admit to having any reports, or not having any located at the specific airbase. I am sure there is a suitable reporting system for such unknown events, but I can safely assume it would be classified, and not admit able unless you have the "exact" title and proof that it actually exists even then, they may not acknowledge the existence of such a reporting procedure. I try to avoid the term UFO since this can automatically close the door due to the perceptions people have of the term UFO. Yet I get the impression that some do equate a different between UFOS and unknown aerial devices.
