Space Force Denies FOIA Access For References To “Fastwalkers” and “Slowwalkers” Due To Being “Exempt from Disclosure”
Alien Life & UFO/UAPs
Monday 1st, January 2024
In a move that further shrouds the mystery surrounding unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), the United States Space Force has adamantly refused to disclose information related to "Fastwalkers" and "Slowwalkers," terms believed to be used by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) to describe enigmatic objects detected by defense systems. This denial comes despite recent efforts by other government branches to foster openness about UAP encounters, raising questions about the extent of secrecy and the potential national security implications associated with these phenomena.
The denial stems from a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by The Black Vault in July 2023, seeking detailed information on how the military perceives, identifies, and reports these unidentified tracks. Additionally, the request aimed to gain insight into the procedures and manuals related to "Fastwalkers" and "Slowwalkers." However, the Space Force invoked FOIA exemption (b)(1) Section 1.1(a), asserting that the requested information is classified under executive orders to be kept secret in the interest of national defense or foreign policy.
This denial echoes a similar incident in November 2013 when a FOIA request to U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) regarding "Fastwalkers" and "Slowwalkers" yielded an almost identical response, indicating that the information was properly classified. The Space Force's recent denial underscores the persistent secrecy surrounding these terms, hinting at their critical importance to national defense.
What adds a compelling layer to this narrative is the contrasting approach of other government branches, particularly the U.S. Navy, which has displayed a more transparent stance on UAP encounters primarily within Earth's atmosphere. Acknowledgments and official reports by the U.S. Navy regarding UAP encounters have become more frequent, fostering a climate of openness.
The Space Force's reluctance to disclose information on "Fastwalkers" and "Slowwalkers" in the face of this increasing openness raises intriguing questions. The government's reliance on FOIA exemptions highlights the delicate balance between transparency and national security concerns. While certain branches have chosen to share information about UAP, the denial by the Space Force emphasizes the continued challenges in obtaining classified details about military operations and surveillance.
As public interest in UAP encounters grows, fueled by official disclosures and declassified information, the Space Force's decision to withhold crucial details surrounding "Fastwalkers" and "Slowwalkers" only deepens the enigma surrounding these unidentified phenomena. The evolving dynamics between government openness and classified information in the realm of UAP continue to captivate the public's imagination and fuel ongoing discussions about the uncharted frontiers of our skies.
