Not voluntary. The NSA denied the request entirely. It took a legal appeal by the Disclosure Foundation to force the release.
What came out: 1979, Soviet airspace. One night.
10 UFOs at 66,000-85,300 ft
12 UFOs at 10,000-15,000 ft
7 UFOs moving slowly west
13 UFOs at 88,000 ft
MiGs scrambled. Every entry labeled "probably balloons."
The NSA is the agency that intercepts foreign communications. This means they were listening to Soviet radar operators and pilots reporting these objects in real time.
Many entries remain heavily redacted. Documents from the 1960s still classified.
They didn't want you to see this.

They didn’t want this seen because that intel was gathered by something that can be patched if specific details are given in the report.
God bless the people who fight tooth and nail for these FOIAs
