Use the central e-SIC portal at falabr.cgu.gov.br. Select the responding agency (Comando da Aeronáutica / Arquivo Nacional) and submit. Most OVNI tranches are already published; new requests target items not yet declassified.

File via the central Portal de Transparencia. Most SEFAA case files are already published as monthly dispatches at sefaa.dgac.gob.cl — request only items not yet released.

The CEFAe is an unpaid commission — replies are slower than 15 days in practice. Direct correspondence to cefae@faa.mil.ar alongside the formal AAIP filing.

CRIDOVNI accepts requests by phone, in person at Carrasco, or by web form at fau.mil.uy/cridovni. Annual aggregate stats are public; case-by-case detail requires a formal Ley 18.381 request.

OIFAA's intake was paused 2008–2012 and is intermittently active. Best path: combined request to FAP Comando Conjunto + the Ministerio de Defensa transparency office.

The 1992 Orden 13/1992 desclassification covers most EA holdings. Newer requests typically route to the Archivo Histórico del Ejército del Aire in Villaviciosa de Odón.

Italian FOIA replies are mailed by posta elettronica certificata (PEC) for legal effect. The AM publishes aggregate stats annually; full case files require PEC-based requests to Comando Logistico — Reparto Generale Sicurezza.

The 2010 OIA release covers ~2,000 pages already public. New requests should target post-2010 incident logs or RNZAF operational records not yet declassified.

Project Magnet + Second Storey are at LAC and publicly indexed. New requests typically target DND incident reports from Northern airspace.
