In your day to day life, there’s always a risk of tripping and falling. This could happen in your home or outside, perhaps in the shopping mall or in the parking lobby at your workplace. Whichever the case, some of these accidents may cause minor injuries, whereas others could result in injuries that are a bit severe, perhaps enough to prevent you from working or carrying out your day-to-day activities. If you trip and fall in another person’s premises and sustain significant injuries, you could be entitled to monetary compensation depending on the circumstances within which the accident occurred and what caused it. In essence, this is because owners of such premises (sometimes even employers) owe you a duty of care under the law.

Washington DC, The Department of Defense has authorized the release of three unclassified Navy videos, one taken in November 2004 and the other two in January 2015, which have been circulating in the public domain after unauthorized releases in 2007 and 2017. The U.S. Navy previously acknowledged that these videos circulating in the public domain were indeed Navy videos. After a thorough review, the department has determined that the authorized release of these unclassified videos does not reveal any sensitive capabilities or systems, and does not impinge on any subsequent investigations of military air space incursions by unidentified aerial phenomena. DOD is releasing the videos in order to clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real, or whether or not there is more to the videos. The aerial phenomena observed in the videos remain characterized as “unidentified.” The released videos can be found at the Naval Air Systems Command FOIA Reading Room: https://www.navair.navy.mil/foia/documents.
