AFMAN 10-206 Lists UFOs as Reportable Vital Intelligence Despite Official Denials
Air Force Manual 10-206 (AFMAN 10-206), dated March 7, 2000, outlines CIRVIS (Communications Instructions for Reporting Vital Intelligence Sightings) procedures.
Narration
A standard Air Force manual quietly mandates reporting UFOs as vital intelligence.
CIRVIS reports flow upward to NORAD — the highest level of aerospace defense.
In December 1969, the Air Force declared it had no further interest in UFOs.
Yet pilots above American skies were required by law to report unknown objects immediately.
Section 5.7.3.3 listed UFOs separately from unidentified aircraft — a deliberate categorical distinction.
The manual was public, the contradiction undeniable, yet no official ever answered for it.
