Alaska shoot-down and Five Eyes traffic
MOD held records, then withheld them in full
A CNN reporter said the US would work with Five Eyes on the Alaska object. Hume FOIA'd MOD: records exist, two extensions, then full classification under three sections. Later he noted RAF/MOD material on that specific incident remains withheld under defence and international relations.
Findings
Each line is tagged as a FOIA outcome, something someone told Hume, open literature, a leak, or Hume's own reading. Do not treat the last as a document.
- 01FOIA outcome
MOD confirmed holdings, then withheld in full after two extensions.
- 02FOIA outcome
CNN on-air line about 5 Eyes is what justified the request.
- 03Hume's reading
Pattern match with every other Hume MOD–FVEY–UAP request: records or Glomar, never a document.
Files
MOD intelligence on the Alaska UAP shoot-down
MOD acknowledged records exist, took two extensions, then classified the lot. Hume: 'MOD does have some Intel on the incident but after two extensions it was classified in full (3 sections).'
Open record
MOD FOI — FVEY Foreign Materiel Program and UFOs
Neither confirm nor deny. Hume notes MOD only mentioned US–UK relations, then appended the standard UFO section-16 advice even though the word UFO was never in the request — they clearly knew what FMP meant in this context.
