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

• The declassified UFO files, 1952–2009 — about 2,000 pages released in December 2010
• Kaikoura lights (December 1978) reports and analysis
• Sighting correspondence from the public, RNZAF bases and pilots

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

• The December 2010 release answered the standing question wholesale — ask for records created after it, or for the release itself.
• Ombudsman opinions are near-binding; cite one on comparable records if refused.
