What would the paper say?
The NZDF released its UFO files in 2010; further records answer to the Official Information Act 1982. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
