Released by the Gov't or Not?

When initially released in December 2017, two videos alleging to show encounters between the U.S. Navy and unknown aerial objects caused quite a buzz in the media.  The videos were quickly the subject of much speculation and scrutiny.

One of the questions asked was whether or not the government released these videos or they were obtained by other means.  Some questioned the chain of custody of the videos and their actual origin.

Las Vegas based journalist George Knapp, via the KLAS television investigative team, presented documents earlier this evening that appear to confirm the videos were indeed released by the government.
