Quote from the article:
“The US Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) is the United ’States airspace and civilian
flight regulation body. Their responsibilities include the management of national
airspace, air traffic control services and flight safety promotion. The FAA’s
mission also includes an interoperable role with the United States Air Force
(USAF) and North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) to assist in
atmospheric air defence and military flying activity. For example, primary
radar coverage of the USA is partly achieved by the joint FAA-USAF Joint
Surveillance System (JSS). The most important component of that system is the
Air Route Surveillance Radar (ARSR) network which is capable of detecting and
tracking any sizable body in US airspace and somewhat beyond. Raw radar data
from long-range radar sites is instantly fed to FAA and USAF sites to build up
a wider “recognised air picture” of exactly what is in the American skies at
any given time.
Despite this awesome capability, the FAA, apparently,
does not deal with ‘Unidentified Flying Objects’ (UFOs). Dozens of Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) requests submitted to the FAA, over the last thirty or
so years, have yielded almost nothing of substance. There are only a couple of
FAA publications that mention UFO’s. One is the ‘Federal Aviation Aeronautical
Information Manual, Official Guide to Basic Flight Information and ATC
Procedures,’ often simply called the ‘AIM.’ The latest version of the AIM was
promulgated on the 10th of December, 2015. John Greenwald, owner of ‘The Black
Vault’ website, was probably the most recent FOIA requester to be furnished
with a copy of the relevant pages that mention UFO’s.”
