Quote from the article:
“ ‘It’s a start, it’s encouraging, it’s a step to
learning the truth,’ attorney Peter Gersten, executive director of Citizens
Against UFO Secrecy, said Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Stephen McNamee on Wednesday
ordered the Defense Department to provide spesifics by March 17 on how e-mail
and a computerized index search were used to locate information on the lighted
object.
The U.S. government initially said it had done a ‘reasonable’
search for the documents, but came up empty-handed and wanted the case
dismissed.
Gersten said he is still skeptical the Defense
Department will provide documents he believes exist, including eyewitness
descriptions and sketches of the object.
‘This lawsuit has the possibility of being a landmark FOIA case for reasonableness of searches and good faith affidavits,’ he said. ‘This could change the future of UFO litigation.’ ”
