FBI FOIA Response – American Airlines UFO Encounter – Feb 21, 2021.

Background: On Feb 21, 2021 American Airlines Flight Number 2292 reported an unknown object that passed above them in NE New Mexico. The encounter was discovered by a citizen who monitored the conversation between the FAA and the aircraft via a scanner. American Airlines requested that the press contact the FBI for questions regarding the investigation. I wrote a FOIA (Freedom of Information) request to the FBI shortly after the above incident regarding their investigation. I received a response from the FBI on June 14, 2021. (See below.)

Surprisingly I received a response from the FBI regarding their investigation of the alleged sighting of an unidentified object in NE New Mexico on Feb 21, 2021. Ironically the FBI originally gave me a “no records responsive to your request” response a few days after I made my request.

The FBI sent two documents. One was the release letter and the 2nd was the results of their investigation. There are several redacts in the report, but most are redacts of names of individuals in the FBI and names of people that the FBI contacted. There is a glaring error in the report. The FBI states that the incident occurred in the NW corner of New Mexico. This contradicts their report because they mention that the incident occurred near Des Moines, NM which is in NE New Mexico. The FBI states that the object was a long cylindrical object that resembled a cruise missile. Apparently the FBI contacted several law enforcement agencies regarding reports of any object(s) that had crashed. I find this interesting. There also was an open statement in whether or not the FAA detected the object on radar.
