I have been trying for over 15 months to obtain some unclassified and classified information from N/J3 Operations Directorate.
I have been provided with contradictory, obfuscation and down right inaccurate information from the public affairs office. I have now obtained 3 documents from US Northern Command, which are applicable to NORAD and USNORTHCOM, all three are mandatory, and it seems they have violated these instructions which are applicable to all USNORTHCOM/NORAD personnel.
I was told the information I requested is on a Canadian system and to file a Access to Information Act Request which is only applicable to Canadian citizens. Further NORAD is a bi national organisation and neither are applicable to NORAD so this is a contradiction. Also the Instructions I have obtained provide a way to ask them for the documents in question as a public and there is no need to go through the FOIA or ATIA.
The information I requested was concerning the intercept procedures of tracks detected in the North American continent and those pertaining to Tracks of Interest and Unknown Tracks. UTs are classified but can be redacted according to USNORTHCOM, and they do equate to UFOs according to a NORAD letter from the 1990s.
They have tried every tactic to prevent accessing their records. The last time the Instructions I am after were released were in 1996 since then nothing has been brought out. I find it surprising the lack of interest in what is going on in the skies of Alaska, USA and Canada, and I would of thought since 9/11 it would of been the opposite.
