The UAP Task Force: is this 'disclosure'?

Speaking of The Hill (@Kryztian)

Is this headed into the direction of "disclosure?" Or, is this just another cog in the wheel to set up humanity into believing in "benevolent / here to save us" ET?

That's the 64 Trillion Dollar Question and a major theme throughout this thread. But there are, in my not so humble opinion, no easy answers. On this thread we focus on the institutions that control the flood gates of truth, especially the political ones, but also media, academia, NGOs (especially "To The Stars Academy"). There is a lot to digest, but my only two conclusions are:

• It would be foolhardy to simply trust these institutions and take what they say at face value. And almost no one here on Project Avalon makes that mistake. Following TTSA is not a popular form of hopium (as Q-anon is/was) on this forum.
  
  
• It would be foolhardy to simply distrust these institution and regard everything they say as a lie and ignore what is happening here. And that is a mistake many here do make.

We talk about a lot of people who are out there pushing disclosure: Lue Elizondo, Christopher Mellon, various congress people, Jeremy Corbell, Tom DeLonge, etc. They clearly no more than we do, but I don't think they have all the cards. The people who do have all the cards, in my not so humble opinion, we do not know their names or faces. And perhaps they aren't even "people". One hunch I have is that they are cryptoterrestrials.

One thing about liars is that time usually exposes their untruth. Of course, these liars are quite sophisticated, but on the other hand the lie they are concealing is enormous. Until those floodgates really open, we just need to wait and watch really closely.

New Senior Advisor for Biden Administration gives his thoughts on UAP.

Not sure when this clip was released. I hadn't realised he was a new advisor to Biden

That would be John Podesta. This must be a recent clip because it was announced that he was appointed to the Biden Administration two days ago as a "climate advisor". Notice how artfully he didn't answer the question about "what do you know that we don't know."

He hasn't been seen in the media for some time since Wikileaks released many of his emails, where he is asked about "pizza related maps" or the strange art collections that he and his brother have. Perhaps he didn't want to embarrass the media for not asking questions the public would want to know, about his and his brother's supposed pedophilia and occultism.

In the video, it seems he is insinuating that the White House has UFO footage that "should" be released to the public and that he is advocating for it. I assume that if he says that publicly, what is really meant is that they are going to release some footage.

Biden appoints ex-Clinton aide John Podesta as new climate adviser, sparking scathing social media reactions
Critics slammed Podesta's appointment as evidence of corruption in Washington, DC

Twitter users voiced outrage after the Biden White House announced Friday that former Clinton campaign manager and Obama counselor John Podesta will assume the role of senior adviser to the president for clean energy innovation and implementation.

"We are fortunate that John Podesta will lead our continued innovation and implementation. His deep roots in climate and clean energy policy and experience at senior levels of government mean we can truly hit the ground running to take advantage of the massive clean energy opportunities in front of us," President Biden said in a statement tacked onto the press release.

Air Force Secretary of State Frank Kendall: "In my view, UFOs do not pose a threat." Sept 9, 2022

Washington (USA) – While the previous admissions and efforts to investigate UFO sightings by US pilots are mainly driven and coordinated by the US Navy, the US Navy, the US Air Force is still keeping a low profile when it comes to unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and airspace phenomena (UAPs). Now the civilian head, the Secretary of State of the "Department of the Air Force", Frank Kendall has commented on the matter on US television.

Exclusive: More UFO Hearings Are Coming As Whistleblowers Are Called Forward And Legacy Programs Are Verified By Congress.

https://www.liberationtimes.com/home...ed-by-congress

Written by Christopher Sharp - 14 October 2022

Some insiders have told Liberation Times that new UAP whistleblower language could be signed into law “in weeks” and after upcoming midterm elections.

Corbell comments: “The Silver Bullet is coming.”

Once National Defense Authorization Act 2023 becomes law, it is expected that public Congressional hearings will take place, and whistleblowers have already been requested to testify.

It has also been confirmed by multiple sources that information relating to alleged secretive UAP retrieval and reverse-engineering programs has now been verified by Congress.

There is now some urgency from Congress to provide transparency and some insiders hope that any released information can potentially bring people together at a time when the likelihood of nuclear conflict has risen.

Liberation Times has learned that new public Congressional Unidentified Aerospace-undersea Phenomena (UAP) hearings can be expected once National Defense Authorization Act 2023 (NDAA) UAP language is signed into law.

As reported by Dean Johnson, Intelligence Authorization Act (IAA) 2023 language is now wrapped up within the NDAA and includes important whistleblower protections.

‘New territory’: America’s top aerospace sleuths join UFO hunt.

The country’s largest organization of technical experts has concluded that recent incursions pose a safety hazard to aircraft.

America’s top aerospace engineers and scientists are joining forces to protect us from UFOs.

The country’s largest organization of government and private sector technical experts is launching a project to study “unidentified aerial phenomena,” after concluding that recent incursions by mysterious craft pose a safety hazard to military and commercial aircraft, according to people involved in the effort.

The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, which includes among its
members the country’s largest defense and NASA contractors, has established three
committees to study the technology, how incursions affect pilot and passenger safety,
and to coordinate with government agencies and international researchers also focused
on the topic.

TOP SECRET UFO PROJECTS - Interview with Pentagon Insider Christopher Mellon

Premieres Oct 25, 2022, 7pm GMT

The once third-highest-ranking intelligence man in the Pentagon suspects that the U.S. has recovered and reverse-engineered crashed UFOs.

Former senior intelligence official Christopher Mellon works behind the scenes to ensure that politicians are informed about UFOs and that new laws are enacted so that the issue finally receives attention. Among other things, he ensured that the UAP Task Force was required to submit an official report on UFO findings by the U.S. military in June 2021. At the Ufology World Congress in Barcelona, Robert Fleischer recently had the opportunity to interview him - about what the military knows about UFOs and especially about what is still hidden in top secret projects so far..

The complete interview in German and English as well as all links to the show are now available exclusively on website ExoMagazin.tv ►► https://www.exomagazin.tv/christopher...

This is going to be published of the entire
interview with Christopher Mellon in English with Italian subtitles
tonight at 8:00 PM CET on youtube channel:

For those who saw the CM interview here is a post analysis of the Chris Mellon (CM) from Post No. 529.

This was a good interview. How (in spite of seemingly being a straight-shooting, formal, credible, "vanilla world" authority, CM is starting to recognize that there are (or could be) secret UFO research programmes outside of the purview of conventional oversight. Like Mr. Bray and Mr. Moultrie (the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence & Security (USDI&S)), and J2 Admiral Wilson years ago, he didn't seem to have been briefed about such programmes although he - apparently - should have. And (if I'm not mistaken) he supervised SAP and USAP programmes. Anything but heavy-duty issues like MILABS and retro engineering and cattle mutalations and who knows what on that level that maybe is avoided not only by most politicians protecting their careers but even perhaps by the Gang of 8.

IMO the difficult issue is that the most secret programmes include illegal and criminal activity if need be. That the U.S. is still not the exception. That, like many other states in the world, the U.S. would also have unconstitutional and illegal operations. WUSAPS that have to be denied not only because they might involve "core secrets" and such but also because it would entail acknowledging something so outrageous... something or things that people do not want to believe or know without losing faith in who they are (or, at least that's how the cabal secret keepers think about protecting people's self-image and faith in the country)?

But if there are vast operations (like sending recovery teams to Brazil during the Varginha incident) "Moment of Contact" documentary November 2022 launch, somebody in the formal chain of authority would be condoning it. And some would be looking away. And this would be a major secret in order to maintain the country's public image internally and externally. Otherwise, what is going on? If we call the deepest truth occultists "the cabal", for what list of reasons would they be doing it? And who is helping CM and Luis Elizonda to come out with an initial level disclosure-confirmation?

EXCLUSIVE: New classified report to Congress says only HALF of UFO sightings can be properly explained, leaving nearly 200 mysteries unsolved – as critics say investigators 'glossed over' unknown cases.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...explained.html

Sources tell DailyMail.com a classified report due to be sent to Congress this week lists more than 150 cases of unexplained UFO encounters in the past year.

The 22-page report was compiled by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and analyzes 366 cases.
Only about half of the UFO encounters could be explained.

Examples include video shot by Reaper drones conducting surveillance that caught 'orbs' flying around then 'suddenly bolting off'

Among the explained cases are 'brand new surveillance by foreign adversaries,' including Chinese spy drones attempting to gather information on the US.

The ODNI source was critical of their department's dossier, saying it glossed over the many intriguing and worrying unexplained cases
'They don't want to talk about this stuff, because they really, really don't know what the hell they are. That's the truth,' the source said

UNIDENTIFIED AEROSPACE-UNDERSEA PHENOMENA REPORTING PROCEDURES

(Still to be ratified and signed)

S. 4502. Sec 703 UNIDENTIFIED AEROSPACE-UNDERSEA PHENOMENA REPORTING PROCEDURES

(2) "Protection of systems, programs, and activity. -- The system established pursuant to paragraph (1) shall serve as a mechanism to prevent unauthorized public reporting or compromise of properly classified military and intelligence systems, programs, and related activity, including all categories and levels of special access and compartmented access programs, current, historical, and future." (4) Sharing of information. -- The system established under paragraph (1) shall provide for the immediate sharing with Office personnel and supporting analysts and scientists of information previously prohibited from reporting under any nondisclosure written or oral agreement, order, or other instrumentality or means, except in cases where the cleared Government personnel administering such system conclude that the preponderance of information available regarding the reporting indicates that the observed objects and associated events and activities likely relate to a special access program or compartmented access program that, as of the date of the reporting, has been explicitly and clearly reported to the congressional defense committees and congressional intelligence committees, and is documented as meeting those criteria."

IMO most of the whistleblower information will be reported to UAP JPO and ODNI and eventually to the Congressional (Senate and House) defense-arms appropriations and intel committees with no obligation to inform the public, especially if the information is related to SAPs (and, under this category USAPs, WUSAPs) that have already been clearly reported to those committees.

But what about SAPs (and USAPs WUSAPs) that - perhaps have not been reported to those committees? Are MILABS part of any USAP or WUSAP? Would they be reported to the so-called "Gang of 8" or to the aforementioned committees? Are these congressional members also given something like "Top Cover" to protect their innocence and plausible deniability? Why is the mandated report (due October 31) still taking so long with little or no explanation?

[aoibhghaire]

When UAP projects will not be reported:

S 4503 Intelligence Authorization Act for FY 2023 (added to the soon-to-be-signed NDAA FY2023)

The first paragraph refers to not reporting information when the preponderance of the phenomenon observed is related to a SAP or a CAP.

(4) SHARING OF INFORMATION.—The system established under paragraph (1) shall provide for the immediate sharing with Office personnel and supporting analysts and scientists of information previously prohibited from reporting under any nondisclosure written or oral agreement, order, or other instrumentality or means, except in cases where the cleared Government personnel administering such system conclude that the preponderance of information available regarding the reporting indicates that the observed object and associated events and activities likely relate to a special access program or compartmented access program that, as of the date of the reporting, has been explicitly and clearly reported to the congressional defense committees and congressional intelligence committees, and is documented as meeting those criteria.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The second paragraph refers to the Director of the (UAP JPO) Office reporting to the proper congressional committee Chairmen and Vice Chairmen regarding instances in which UAP data was not provided to the (UAP JPO) Office due to "classification restrictions on that data or for any other reason."

“(4) INSTANCES IN WHICH DATA WAS NOT SHARED.—For each briefing period, the Director of the Office shall jointly provide to the chairman or chair and the ranking member or vice chairman of the congressional committees specified in subparagraphs (A) and (D) of subsection (o)(1) an enumeration of any instances in which data relating to unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena was not provided to the Office because of classification restrictions on that data or for any other reason.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Its possible these provisions allows the deepest secret managers to leave out a lot, perhaps not informing the proper congressional committees.

[aoibhghaire]

IMO the mainstream media is still largely nonreactive to the UAP report delay. That their down-to-earth real-world attitudes have to catch up to a greater reality that demands a loftier approach not only related to competing material interests but also to consciousness. However, the mainstream media appears to be slowly catching up, as the "UFO giggles" are less frequent and reporters are less inclined to take the "taboo road". Thanks to the many UAP-related articles by Marik von Rennenkampff, more politicians and people associated with "the hill" at large (Congress, and government institutions in DC) must be waking up to the already realities that have been formally acknowledged in a nonaggressive way...(non-human intelligences have been left only as a possibility; the DoD-ODNI reports have been "mild"; the U.S. President, UN Secretary-General, Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff, or someone of a similar standing has not come out talking openly about UAP).

Logically, the next step after a wider and clearer acknowledgment will be to consider the implications behind the fact that nonhuman intelligences are here on Earth, have been here for a long time, and apparently quite active in what we consider to be "our" world, among other things, also interacting with us. Nonetheless, the practical, "real world" and "Real Politik" concerns of much of the rest of the population in the English-speaking and the rest of the world outside of the UFO community do not consider these implications important seriously and are mired in great personal needs, competing for power and material interests, and belief camps under growing social incoherence, cynicism, groupthink-religious-political fanaticism, selfishness, indifference, and pessimism about what is possible.

The "voice of ICER" (or ICER as a unified voice and - distinctly - as its individual members) can indeed be part of an ensuing worldwide conversation about the implications concerning that nonhuman intelligences are here and interacting in this world. Perhaps there should be a regular podcast even before the Serenissima Reppublica di San Marino replies to the ICER proposal PROJECT TITAN.

UFO RECOVERY AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER REVEALED IN NEW US INTELLIGENCE DOCUMENT: DECEMBER 2022 / JANUARY 2023

Stunning mention of recovered UFOs and exploitation of their technology by the United States government has been found buried within a newly issued official congressional intelligence document. The US National Laboratories and private industry are implicated as beneficiaries of such retrieved technology. Further, the time period discussed encompasses 1947 (the year of the Roswell UFO crash) to the present day.

THE EXTRAORDINARY DOCUMENT

The statements were located in the massive 2023 US House Intelligence Authorization Act document that was authored by select members of Congress cleared and chosen to sit on The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (also called The House Intelligence Committee).

Chaired by Adam Schiff (D-CA), the House Intelligence Committee oversees the nation's intelligence agencies including components of the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Justice, State, Treasury and Energy.

The document addresses tracking “unidentified aerospace / undersea phenomena” and refers explicitly to “efforts to recover or transfer related technologies to United States industry or National Laboratories.”

THE EXTRAORDINARY DOCUMENT

Relevant excerpts from the document (with key sentences highlighted in red underline) from “The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) H. Rept. 117-546 - INTELLIGENCE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023” : See link below.

The entire document can be accessed from this link: https://www.congress.gov/congression...e-report/546/1

THE DOCUMENT’S IMPLICATIONS

The inclusion in the intelligence document of statements about UFOs and the recovery and transfer of their associated technology shows that the issue is a real and serious matter. They do not appear to be speculating about a “possibility” but are in fact acknowledging such things and that these things require action, including a demand for all records related to the subject.

The document speaks to unknown recovered technology and its transference to national labs and the private sector, likely defense contractors. The obvious purpose would be for analysis, duplication and exploitation of these exotic technologies and materials.

WHAT CAN BE CONCLUDED

This document demonstrates that some members of the Intelligence Committee have some level of awareness of the reality of retrieved physical UFO evidence. It is inconceivable that discussion of UFO/UAP recovery and technology transfer would be included within an Intelligence Authorization Act unless these committee members had very good reason to do so.

The immense document addresses hundreds of intelligence issues from war and rumors of war to cybersecurity threats. For it to contain mention of UFOs, recovered technology and technology transfer, the year 1947 (and the use of a classified annex to communicate about the matter) alongside very pressing world issues is remarkable. It shows that the matter of intrusion in our skies and seas by technologies not made by man is an intelligence matter of utmost priority.

UFO RECOVERY AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER REVEALED IN NEW US INTELLIGENCE DOCUMENT: DECEMBER 2022 / JANUARY 2023

Here's the very interesting document:

https://congress.gov/117/crpt/hrpt54...117hrpt546.pdf

[aoibhghaire]

A preliminary look at the UAP-related provisions of the final proposed FY 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (H.R. 7776)

Is the cause of transparency, disclosure, accountability, and whistleblower safety better off with the latest NDAA FY 2023 version? It was filed in the U.S. Congress on Dec 06, 2022.

Click on the following LINK to read the latest NDAA version that is about to be signed by the House of Representatives and then by the Senate and President Biden: https://rules.house.gov/sites/democr...-RCP117-70.pdf

SOME NEW DETAILS:

"UAP" now refers to UNIDENTIFIED ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA and (as the previous version) it includes transmedium objects.

The current office "AARO" (ALL ANOMALIES RESOLUTION OFFICE) will keep its name and will not be renamed "UAPJPO."

The sentence "temporary nonattributed objects or those that are positive identified as man-made," that forced AARO to focus on non-manmade objects has been erased from the final bill.

The historical, comprehensive UFO study that had been assigned to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), an arm of Congress, is now being assigned to AARO, with GAO only performing a later "audit" and congressional briefings. However, the historical study concerning how the USG related to "to unidentified anomalous phenomena" has been extended to January 1, 1945. It might include research into the so-called "Trinity UFO crash."

The latest NDAA may force the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) and the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) the obligation to listen to and protect whistleblowers. But a provision stating their right to engage in a private cause of action against the USG was eliminated.

However, the new NDAA also forces a deadline on the Secretary of Defense to retransmit whistleblower information to the appropriate Congressional Committees and leadership in 72 hours or less:

"Not later than 72 hours after determining that an authorized disclosure relates to a restricted access activity, a special access program, or a compartmented access program that has not been explicitly and clearly reported to the congressional defense committees or the congressional intelligence committees, the Secretary shall report such disclosure to such committees and the congressional leadership."

We must also keep in mind that the information given to the U.S. Congress may not necessarily reach the general public if it is considered too sensitive.

https://douglasjohnson.ghost.io/uap-...orization-act/

[aoibhghaire]

After the May 17, 2022 hearings in the House of Representatives, it was known that briefings were happening behind the scenes and, likely, with whistleblowers. This may be so because, soon thereafter, the Senate released emergency provisions for whistleblowers. After that, as explained by Christopher Sharp, there was an explanatory report about an “exponential increase in transmedium objects” (objects that can move between space, air, and water). And there were many criticisms about the lame report given in a hearing of the U.S. House of Representatives in May 17, 2022.

Then, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2023 NDAA was combined with the FY 2023 Intelligence Authorization Act (IAA). The coupling of the NDAA with the IAA shows that key Congressmen are trying to get information about the legacy programs and current secret UFO programs. However, they are not required to share this with the public and, particularly, cannot legally share data gathering ways and means, and breakthrough technologies.

The blended NDAA forces both the DoD and IC to report (to the adequate armed services and intelligence committees and proper congressional leaders) information about programs that had not been previously or adequately reported. Now, if there are people that have knowledge about these programs (also within private contractors) they can break their non-disclosure agreements, or verbal orders from superiors to report to AARO (All Anomalies Resolution Office) and once AARO has validated that information they will report it to the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense (working under the Secretary of Defense) and not to Ronald Moultrie Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security USDI&S from (allies of Garry Reid, obfuscating adversary of Lue Elizondo).

The key point is that the new legislation compels the Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC) to cooperate and support AARO which also has a core group of representatives from multiple agencies in the intelligence community and military services.

Then the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) will have up to 72 hrs. to report that information to the relevant congressional committees.

July 21, 2022. “The Director of AARO is Sean Kirkpatrick, chief scientist from DIA. The AARO will synchronize efforts across DOD and with other federal agencies to detect and identify airborne, anomalous, unidentified space, transmedium and submerged objects in and near military bases, training areas, special use airspace and other areas of interest, DOD said. Kirkpatrick brings to the role over 20 years of experience in scientific and technical intelligence, acquisitions, research and development and space policy. He previously served as deputy director of intelligence for U.S. Strategic Command, director of the National Security Strategy at the National Security Council and deputy director of intelligence and DNI Representative for U.S. Space Command.”


It also appears that Ronald Moultrie (undersecretary of defense for intelligence and security), will lead the AARO Executive Council to provide oversight and direction to the newly created office.

“The office has six primary lines of effort: surveillance, collection and reporting; system capabilities and design; intelligence operations and analysis; mitigation and defeat; governance; and science and technology.”

Christopher Sharp mentioned that Congress is not happy over the previous reporting and hearings situation and some conjecture for the delay on the report that was due October 31. AARO provides the date to the ODNI (Office of Director of National Intelligence) and ODNI writes the report but they need to coordinate with other agencies to verify the information.

“Legislative Affairs” is a liaison office for ODNI to link with Congress. There will be constant back and forth between congressional staffers and ODNI to make sure that ODNI is meeting the intent of Congress. We don’t know what is causing the delay. Perhaps AARO is not meeting the intent of the NDAA because it is currently very poorly staffed but no one (outside) knows what is really going on. Perhaps (to meet the current NDAA intent stipulated in the current version) Dr. Kirkpatrick is now forced to find information previous to 1945.

Douglas Dean Johnson mentions that Bill Section 1673: Secure Method for Authorized Reporting (“Safe Harbor” or “UAP Whistleblower” provision) To report to the Armed Services & Intelligence Committees which do not have to share this information with the public.

AARO’s scope of interest is expanded in Section 1673(a)(1)(B) "any activity or program by a department of agency of the Federal Government or a contractor of such department or agency relating to unidentified anomalous phenomena, including with respect to material retrieval, material analysis, reverse engineering, research and development, detecting and tracking, developmental or operational testing, and security protections and enforcement."

Bill Sections 6802 & 6803. AARO will conduct a historical record report on Government involvement in UAP.

*The current NDAA now excludes AARO’s previous order to focus on non-man-made objects: The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence SSCI-approved bill (S. 4503) contained a proposed definitional change to exclude from the scope of the phenomena being investigated "temporary nonattributed objects or those that are positive identified as man-made." This language generated sharply conflicting interpretations among commentators over the past six months. Whatever it was intended to mean, it has been dropped from the final bill.

The current NDAA bill changes the terms “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” and “Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena” to “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena.” This does not include paranormal phenomena but on “objects” as in the 2021 legislation “(A) airborne objects that are not immediately identifiable; (B) transmedium objects or devices; and (C) submerged objects or devices that are not immediately identifiable and that display behavior or performance characteristics suggesting that the objects or devices may be related to the objects described in subparagraph (A)." The term "transmedium objects or devices" is again defined to mean those (objects) that are "observed to transition between space and the atmosphere and bodies of water" and "are not immediately identifiable."

Historical research: “The current NDAA version places the responsibility for the historical research and report on AARO and the Government Accountability Office GAO will only perform a later "audit" and part of the briefing to Congress.”

“Now, the historical report that must be presented by AARO must include "the historical record of the United States Government relating to unidentified anomalous phenomena..." going back to January 1, 1945. The report is to include "a compilation and itemization of the key historical record of the involvement of the intelligence community with unidentified anomalous phenomena, including (I) any program or activity that was protected by restricted access that has not been explicitly and clearly reported to Congress; (II) successful or unsuccessful efforts to identify and track unidentified anomalous phenomena; and (III) any efforts to obfuscate, manipulate public opinion, hide, or otherwise provide incorrect unclassified or classified information about unidentified anomalous phenomena or related activities."

Christopher Mellon (former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence) said in an interview given in the 2022 Ufology World Congress that the U.S. Air Force (associated to the Space Force) refused to research UAP in space because the previous IAA language mentioned “unidentified aerial phenomena.” Also, the Space Force said that being “aerial” it didn’t concern them. So, the legislators changed the term first to “aerospace” and now to “anomalous.”

Christopher Sharp mentioned that it would be a good PR process to have a public hearing for the more mainstream public with the likes of pilots Alex Dietrich and Ryan Graves, establishing that UAP are not drones. After that, there could be a more advanced one with the likes of Mellon (and Elizondo) validating the existence of crash retrieval programs.

So, soon -upon enactment - likely in December 2022, we will have this new NDAA "law of the land" that should be a game changer. But I wonder if the protection mechanism for whistleblowers is going to be sufficient since attorney Daniel Sheehan has doubts about it. I also wonder if the delay in AARO-ODNI's UAP report means that they are doing their best to get at extensive information with AARO's scarce resources or that they are pushing back and getting Congress and 'The People' used to DoD and IC setting their own limits. As Christopher Mellon also said, the intent is not public disclosure but to see if there is a national security threat. However, as Christopher Sharp mentioned, a President and public pressure and congressional interest could decide to reveal much more, even if they cannot reveal details about ways and means and technologies.

STRATCOM Reports Reveal Previously Unknown Effort Investigating UAP; Pentagon Quickly Denies and Explains As “Simple Error”

https://www.theblackvault.com/docume...-simple-error/

In the military world of researching Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, or UAP, the list of research efforts, acronyms and “task forces” keeps getting bigger. Despite some controversy and fine-print details on the exact scope of some earlier programs, the efforts known as AAWSAP, AATIP, UAPTF, AOIMSG, and AARO have all been said to represent some form of research into UAP, most of which was officially sanctioned and mandated.

Now, that list gets even longer, and two formerly classified Top Secret reports from the United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) written in July and August of 2020 and released in part to The Black Vault in December of 2022, reveal the “Unidentified Aerial Phenomenology (UAP) Joint Inter-agency Task Force (JIATF).”

The full acronym? UAP JIATF.

But despite details about classified briefings, and at least two mentions of the UAP JIATF in formerly Top Secret documents written nearly a month apart; the Pentagon claims the group name is only a mistake.

Just over four hours after being asked by The Black Vault, the Pentagon quickly shot down the idea that the UAP JIATF actually existed.

“That was a simple error in terminology – both ‘JIATF’ and ‘Phenomenology’ — when USSTRATCOM personnel prepared their internal report. There was not a DoD JIATF on UAP,” said Pentagon Spokesperson Susan Gough in an e-mailed statement to The Black Vault. “We began using ‘task force’ or ‘UAPTF’ informally internally shortly before the UAPTF establishment memo was signed on Aug. 4, 2020.”

Conclusion

This message of the meaning of the new documents is that The Black Vault just released about UAP JIATF https://www.theblackvault.com/docume...-simple-error/

Without going into detail, I understand that it is nothing but a typo, while the pending unclassified report is expected to be released soon.
