This past week in Disclosure:
Sep 10-11 – Various members of the House confirm a follow-up hearing on UAP will be hosted in the coming weeks
According to conversations with Askapol, Reps. Burchett and Luna confirmed that a 2nd UAP hearing will be hosted by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Accountability. Rep. Nancy Mace will be the chair for this session.
Askapol: “So you think this is laying groundwork for next…?”
Rep. Burchett: “Yeah, future things. And I think we got some, we’ll get some good quality witnesses in. And I think too more whistleblowers will come in because we’re serious.”
ML: “Yeah?”
Rep Burchett: “I think that would be excellent. And I think that’ll lay the groundwork for the next President to do what’s right with this.”
Previously, Sen. Gillibrand had indicated a UAP Hearing was also on the cards for the Senate – which would mean the topic is being publicly addressed at a bicameral level.
Sep 10 – Christopher Mellon speaks on the UAP topic in a new interview with Matt Ford
Mellon, the former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, appeared on the Good Trouble Show with Matt Ford to discuss his view on the current state of affairs vis-a-vis UAP, their national security implications and why he believes Congress must pass The Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act of 2024 for the NDAA.
“One of the things that’s concerning… is that we have a pattern of [UAP incidents] now, it seems to be getting more aggressive, more assertive. The length of time between incidents seems like it’s maybe decreasing. We had this happen over Guam back in maybe 2018, Andersen Air Force Base, we had these incidents in 2019 over a number of navy ships…in some cases these objects/devices have actually been sort of taunting us […] We absolutely need to get to the bottom of this.”
Sep 11 – new FOIA releases shed light on some of Dr. Kirkpatrick’s activities during his tenure as AARO’s director
A recent FOIA release was published by the requester on X, and revealed some additional insight into some of the activities Dr. Kirkpatrick engaged in during his time as AARO’s lead.
Notably, some of the emails released refer to disccussions hosted in order to enhance safety measures and inter-agency coordination on UAP-related issues. Key focus areas included:
- Collision hazards across various domains
- Implementation of COCOM (Combatant Command) responsibilities per the UAP General Administrative (GENADMIN) guidelines
- Operational coordination and reporting between services
- UAP response, recovery, and material transfer
- Collaboration with civil aviation and other multi-sector partners
- Command concerns and feedback mechanisms
- Optimizing Command reporting of UAP-related phenomena, safety, and security analysis for the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).
Sep 13 – Rear Admiral (Ret.) Tim Gallaudet confirms he has been invited to testify at upcoming Congressional UAP hearings
In a LinkedIn post, retired Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet (who has previously asserted the existence of a NHI presence on Earth) announced he has been invited to provide his testimony during the upcoming UAP Hearings.
“Yesterday I was invited to testify on UAP disclosure before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Accountability in November.”
Things to look out for in the near future:
September/October/November
- 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
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
