Federal Ministry of Defence
Bundesministerium der Verteidigung
Germany's defence ministry. Its most informative UAP records are its own answers to parliament, which say the Bundeswehr keeps no systematic sighting register.
No scorecard yet
Aletheca has not filed with this body, so there is nothing to measure. A zero here would read as “releases nothing” rather than “never asked”, which is why the row is absent instead of empty. Filing outside the United States is not yet supported, so for now this record is for reading and routing.

Routes marked verified were fetched and confirmed against the body’s own official pages; those marked unconfirmed are well documented but have not been checked here, and none has been proven by a delivered letter. Aletheca cannot yet originate a request outside the United States — this record exists so a request about these holdings can be routed to the right door.
What it holds
- Luftwaffe air-surveillance and quick-reaction-alert records
- Answers to Bundestag interpellations on unidentified aerial phenomena (published as Drucksachen)
- No standing UAP desk — the ministry has said sightings are not systematically recorded
Record classes this kind of body normally keeps. Useful for drafting a request a records officer can act on without guessing — a request describing records the agency does not hold is refused as no-records, which costs a filing fee and teaches nobody anything.
Filing tips
- Bundestag answers on UAP are free and already public — search the Drucksachen before filing.
- Ask for the fee estimate before consenting; IFG fees can reach €500.
