Partial

NPAS airborne video — RAF Lakenheath drones

Video released after IR/ICO-style pressure (Hume's UK FOI template). Audio was stripped under a law-enforcement exemption, so the tape does not show what the crew thought they were seeing in real time. Hume asked analysts to run SHIPWREK (altitude, distance, speed) and whether both 'drones' were F-15s. NPAS had first Glomar'd involvement.
