This past week in Disclosure:
Mar 11 – “For me, and many others, one thing seems rational and obvious. Someone is hiding something. And it’s not those who are seeking the answers.” – Francisco Guerreiro, European Member of Parliament during a plenary session
Speaking in reference to the Pentagon’s Historical Review, Francisco Guerreiro expressed his frustration with what he viewed as a highly inadequate investigative effort.
Along these lines, he also introduced an Individual Motion for Resolution to update the EU regulation 376/2014, on Civil Aviation safety, to include the reporting and analysis of UAPs.
Mar 12 – “[AARO is] lying — they’re lying to us, man. They’re not telling the truth, and it’s unfortunate.” – Rep. Tim Burchett
Congressman Tim Burchett spoke with Askapol, and provided his rather direct take on the latest report from AARO:
ML: “What do you make of [the AARO historical review]?”
TB: “They’re lying — they’re lying to us, man. They’re not telling the truth, and it’s unfortunate. They’re just trying to degrade people. And, you know: debate us, don’t run us down.”
ML: “How do you dislodge them?”
TB: “I don’t care.”
ML: “Do you think the Select…”
TB: “I don’t care what they do. That’s just another bureaucracy — government-funded bureaucracy — and until we have an executive in the White House that truly cares about the government waste and nonsense — doing away with nonsense — you’re not gonna see any of that go away. That’s just gonna be a part of it.”
Mar 13 – Rep. Eric Burlison submits a formal request to the Speaker of the House to establish a Select Subcommittee on UAP, co-signed by 7 additional representatives
Rep. Burlison submitted a formal request to establish a Select Subcommittee within the House Oversight Committee to investigate UAP related matters.
While it remains to be seen what tools a subcommittee would have vs. a full committee (e.g. subpoena power), the bipartisan commitment from Reps. Burlison, Moskowitz, Ogles, Nehls, Burchett, Luna, Mace and Gaetz is a promising sign for transparency efforts.
Mar 14 – a YouGov poll indicates that “more than 60% of Americans believe the U.S. government is concealing information about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), despite a recent Pentagon report claiming no signs of alien life.“
Despite recent pronouncements from the Pentagon’s AARO, a recent poll highlights that the majority of Americans believe the USG is not sharing all it knows about UFOs.
Mar 15 – it’s revealed that Langley Air Force Base has been swarmed by unidentified Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) for weeks
“The installation first observed UAS [uncrewed aerial systems] activities the evening of December 6 [2023] and experienced multiple incursions throughout the month of December. The number of UASs fluctuated and they ranged in size/configuration,“
– a spokesperson for Langley Air Force Base told The War Zone in a statement.
Mar 15 – Liberation Times establishes that the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has been unwilling to publicly endorse AARO’s latest report, “Top Intelligence Office Unable To Publicly Support Pentagon’s UFO Report, Despite Oversight Role”
In the latest from Liberation Times, they reveal that the ODNI:
“currently cannot publicly endorse a recently released Pentagon historical report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).”
This is remarkable as AARO is mandated to report directly to the ODNI’s Stacey Dixon on all operational and security issues.
While Kathleen Hicks (DepSecDef) has provided her endorsement of the findings, neither the ODNI or Stacey Dixon have been willing to provide public support.
Things to look out for in the near future:
March
- According to Senator Gillibrand – a public hearing in line with AARO’s latest report can be expected soon, saying –”I’ll probably have another hearing aligned with that public report.”
Beyond/currently unknown
- Following the UAP hearing on the 26th of July, Members of Congress have called for a select committee with subpoena authority, to “go about the task of collecting information from the Pentagon and elsewhere” on unidentified flying objects. There have been conflicting messages from various Members of Congress on whether this is likely to happen anytime soon.
Note – a select subcommittee was formally requested on March 13th. - Reps. Moskowitz, Luna, and Burchett have repeatedly stated their intent to hold field hearings to overcome stonewalling from the Pentagon and military establishment”I think we [Congress] should try to get into one of these places [housing UAP evidence]…and if they won’t let us in I think we should have a field hearing right outside the building…and the military will have to explain why that is.” – Rep. Moskowitz (D)It is currently unknown when exactly we might expect that to occur, however as of Jan 12 – Rep. Luna confirmed:”I feel confident that we have enough evidence to move forward with our first field hearing. u/mattgaetzu/JaredEMoskowitz u/timburchett . We will be announcing details soon.“
- Several journalists have indicated that first-hand witnesses of the alleged UAP legacy programs are in the process of providing testimony/evidence to the relevant authorities (e.g. the IC IG) and/or are on the verge of making public statements in the near future (Example 1, example 2, example 3, example 4)
- David Grusch has received additional clearances through DOPSR to discuss some of his (alleged) first-hand knowledge of Legacy programs. He has mentioned he may be covering more of this information in an upcoming Op-Ed
- Some commentators have speculated that the architects of the UAPDA (e.g. Sens. Schumer/Rounds et al) are working diligently behind the scenes to continue furthering serious legislative UAP transparency efforts
