The Black Vault filed for information with the U.S. Navy that same month, and sought after the USS Omaha deck logs, along with all other photographs and videos from the same encounter on and/or around July 15th, 2019.

The Navy provided deck logs during the time frame of July 19th – July 31st, which are below.

There is much more to these stories, and The Black Vault will be doing a much bigger expose on them soon. Until then, the deck logs that are available, along with the FOIA letter confirming Beaty’s reporting, is below.
