Five Eyes Foreign Material Recovery Program (FMP) regarding UAP

Jason Gooch made this Official Information request to New Zealand Defence Force

New Zealand Defence Force did not have the information requested.

From: Jason Gooch

Dear New Zealand Defence Force,

I am writing to you as a concerned citizen with a strong interest in matters pertaining to national security and the unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP).

I specifically seek information regarding the Five Eyes Foreign Material Recovery Program (FMP) in relation to UAP. The Five Eyes alliance, which includes New Zealand, has long been known for its collaborative efforts in intelligence sharing and addressing global security challenges. As such, I believe that the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service may possess valuable information concerning the collection, analysis, and evaluation of foreign materials related to UAP incidents.

To facilitate the OIA request, I kindly request the following information:

Any documents, reports, or memos related to the Five Eyes Foreign Material Recovery Program (FMP) with a specific focus on UAP.

Information on the objectives, scope, and operational aspects of the FMP in relation to UAP.

Any assessments, studies, or analyses conducted by the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service regarding recovered foreign materials associated with UAP.

Any communication or correspondence between the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service and other Five Eyes alliance members regarding the FMP and UAP.

Any records of encounters with UAP, including incident reports, witness testimonies, and analysis of potential national security threats.

I understand that certain aspects of the requested information may be classified or sensitive due to the nature of the subject matter. However, I trust that the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service will undertake a careful review of the requested material, with due consideration given to the principles of transparency and public interest.

Yours faithfully,

Jason Gooch
