This file contains the complete text of: Joint Army-Navy-Air Force Publication
|
|
(JANAP 146(E)), CANADIAN - UNITED STATES COMMUNICATIONS INSTRUCTIONS FOR
|
|
REPORTING VITAL INTELLIGENCE SIGHTINGS (CERVIS/MERINT) as released on February
|
|
28, 1994 by the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense.
|
|
|
|
The regulation is complete including "change No. 2", promulgated May 17, 1977.
|
|
Only ten of the 33 pages (not including blank pages) are the "original"
|
|
JANAP 146(E), the remaining 23 pages are as "Change No. 2".
|
|
|
|
JANAP 146 is important for a couple of reasons:
|
|
|
|
1. It is mentioned in the "Bollender Memo" (dated 1969) as being one of
|
|
the "reporting channels" by which UFO reports which are matters of national
|
|
security are reported; UFO reports "not part of the Blue Book system".
|
|
|
|
2. This copy is dated 1977 and still bears "Unidentified flying
|
|
objects" as one of the items which must be reported despite protestations by
|
|
virtually every agency queried that ther has been no interest in UFOs since the
|
|
USAF Project Blue Book closed in 1969.
|
|
|
|
Some hand written notes appear in the released pages, and some typed text is
|
|
crossed out generally by a single hand drawn line. This information has been
|
|
retained:
|
|
|
|
1. [ Text in [ ] brackets is crossed out in original ]
|
|
|
|
2. { Text in curly brackets { } is hand written in original }
|
|
|
|
3. _Text enclosed with underscores _ _ is underlined in original
|
|
|
|
4. { |}, {| }, or {|} indicates bars drawn in margin (presumably
|
|
indicating areas of additional change)

206. _Addressing._
|
|
|
|
a. Aircraft. - It is imperative that all CIRVIS reports reach
|
|
the appropriate military commands as quickly as possible. The reports,
|
|
therefore, shall be transmitted as soon as possible after the sighting.
|
|
Ground procedures have been established to handle CIRVIS reports by
|
|
Canadian-United States military and civil communications facilities, so
|
|
the same procedures as those now established and in use by pilots for
|
|
air traffic control shall be followed. When contact by civil or military
|
|
pilots cannot be established with any ground communications station,
|
|
maximum effort shall be made to relay the CIRVIS reports via other air
|
|
craft with which communication is possible.

|
|
to the U.S. Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the Canadian
|
|
Radio Act of 1938, as amended. Any person who violates the provisions

of these acts may be liable to prosecution thereunder. These reports

contain information affecting the national defense of the United States
|
|

the US Code 793, Chapter 37, or the Canadian Official Secrets Act of 1939, {|}
|
|
as amended. This should not be construed as requiring classification of
|
|

|
|
handling of such information within official channels only.
