NZDF: no UFO or UAP correspondence found, January 2010 to June 2026 (OIA reply)
The New Zealand Defence Force told an Official Information Act requester that a search of its correspondence from January 2010 to June 2026, on the terms UFO, UAP, Unidentified Flying Object and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, 'produced nil results'. The request covered military sightings, radar, photos and video, and communications with Five Eyes partners. Its 1952 to 2009 UFO files went out in 15 volumes in 2010.
It records only that no correspondence matching those four terms was found. It does not show that nothing was seen, and it does not count against any witness.
