I have been trying for over 2 years now to obtain track information from NORAD via USNORTHCOM who contacts NORAD PA (Public Affairs)
The link here shows that NORAD PA only releases information on known tracks detected by NORAD systems and live feeds (unfiltered) provided by the FAA (federal aviation administration). The NEN system is exempted from the US FOIA, and any Unknown Tracks are classified SECRET and not releasable.
It is interesting that any unknown object detected and remains unknown is a national security matter, it was the same before 9/11, so that isn't the reason.
The FOUO document here is discussing my FOIA (US) requests for various types of data on TOI (tracks of interest) which are deemed tracks which have national security implications, and unknown tracks, as you can see it is mainly censored.
