This past week in Disclosure:
July 23 – Rep. Luna confirms Rep. Mace will lead the upcoming UAP hearing as committee chair
Speaking to Askapol, Rep. Luna indicated a follow-up UAP hearing will be held in September/October, and will be led by a new chair (in this case, likely Rep. Nancy Mace).
July 23 – Sen. Gillibrand signs on as a cosponsor of the recently (re-)introduced Rounds-Schumer UAP Disclosure Act
As indicated in the Congressional Record:
At the request of Mr. Rounds, the name of the Senator from New York (Mrs. Gillibrand) was added as a cosponsor of amendment No. 2610 intended to be proposed to S. 4638, a bill to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2025 for military activities of the Department of Defense, for military construction, and for defense activities of the Department of Energy, to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for other purposes.
July 26 – David Grusch sues local sheriff’s office for releasing his personal information to journalist Ken Klippenstein in 2023
Per the article coverage:
“David Grusch is suing Loudoun County Sheriff Mike Chapman and an unidentified Sheriff’s Office employee for releasing personal information about him. He’s seeking 2.5 Million dollars for “improperly released “highly sensitive, personal information” about his medical history in response to a Freedom of Information Act request on July 30, 2023.”
Things to look out for in the near future:
August/September
- According to Senator Gillibrand – a public hearing in line with AARO’s latest report can be expected soon, saying –”I’m hoping July, and if not then September. But I’m trying to do July.”
- Speaking with Askapol, Reps. Luna and Burchett indicated that the next UAP hearing is likely to come after the August recess.
- Lue Elizondo has indicated his much-awaited book will be published in August 2024. Elizondo was the former director of the now defunct Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) – a program associated with the release of the Pentagon UFO videos.
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. 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
