The importance of transparency and honesty in disclosure: The US Navy's refusal to release redacted videos raises concerns about transparency and the potential harm of censorship. Write your congressional representatives for explanation and demand transparency.
Transparency and honesty are crucial in any situation, especially when it comes to disclosure. The example given was during a safety issue where a simple and honest explanation was used to ensure everyone was on the same page. However, the recent decision by the US Navy to refuse the release of certain redacted videos, despite them being acknowledged and discussed publicly, raises concerns about transparency and the potential harm of censorship. The call for action is for people to write their congressional representatives and demand explanation and transparency. The debate around redaction and the potential existence of longer, more revealing videos adds to the intrigue and the need for openness. The disappointment and surprise expressed towards the Navy's decision highlights the importance of continued advocacy for transparency and disclosure.
Congressional Debate on UFO Whistleblower Protection: Congress debates UFO whistleblower protection, but public pressure is needed to maintain momentum. Skepticism surrounds explanations of mundane or harmless objects, and redacted video releases are expected. Private hearings may occur initially, but public hearings are desired for transparency.
The ongoing debate in Congress regarding the defense appropriations legislation includes provisions to protect whistleblowers who testify about UFOs or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) in hearings. However, public support and momentum for transparency on this issue may wane without continued pressure. Recent explanations from intelligence services and the US Navy about these objects being potentially mundane or harmless have been met with skepticism. The release of some or all of the related videos, even in redacted form, is widely expected, as there is no plausible reason to withhold them based on sources' feedback. Private hearings may be inevitable for initial discussions, but public hearings are also desired for greater transparency. The US government's reluctance to confirm the reality of UAPs and share information fuels public perception of concealment.
Congressional Hearings on UAPs: Timeline and Effectiveness: While private discussions are ongoing, public hearings on UAPs are anticipated, with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand leading the charge. The timeline is uncertain due to distractions like January 6 hearings and midterm elections, but the National Defense Authorization Act's annual report release in early 2023 could be a catalyst.
While respecting national security concerns is important, the public deserves transparency and scrutiny on the UAP issue through public hearings after private discussions. A recent poll conducted by Need to Know showed that Senator Kirsten Gillibrand was the most effective US Congressperson on the UAP issue, indicating strong public interest. However, the timeline for public hearings remains uncertain, with potential distractions such as the January 6 hearings and midterm elections. The National Defense Authorization Act, which requires an annual report on UAPs, is expected to be passed in early 2023, and October could be a game-changer with the release of the report. Private hearings have already taken place, and military personnel have shared evidence, emboldening congressional representatives to push for more information.
Potential October surprise with UAP report before midterms: The upcoming UAP report could distinguish between human and non-human UAPs, impacting political conversation and scrutiny on UAPs
The upcoming UAP report, scheduled to be released before the US midterm elections on October 31st, has the potential to serve as an October surprise and significantly impact the political conversation surrounding UAPs. This report could potentially distinguish between UAPs of human origin and those that are not, and the US government has acknowledged the expanding threat of cross-domain transmedium threats to national security. The potential implications of these developments are significant, as they could lead to increased scrutiny and discussion of UAPs among politicians and the media. The report's release in the final week of some high-profile campaigns, such as Rubio's in Florida, could also add an extra layer of intrigue to the situation. Ultimately, the content of the report remains unknown, but its potential impact on the political landscape is a developing story to watch.
U.S. Government's Shift in Approach to UFOs: Acknowledgment and Investigation: The U.S. government is officially acknowledging and investigating Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) that cannot be explained by human technology, potentially implying non-human origins, and establishing a new office to further investigate these phenomena.
The U.S. government and Congress are now openly acknowledging and investigating Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) that cannot be explained by human technology. This shift in official stance is significant, as it implies a belief that some UFOs may have non-human origins. The establishment of a new office to investigate these phenomena further underscores this belief. Among UFO enthusiasts, there is a divided opinion on whether 2023 will be a year of major disclosures or a fizzle. Despite this, there is a growing recognition that something is changing in the way the U.S. government approaches UFOs. The ongoing debate on UFO Twitter, with some criticizing figures like Lou Elizondo, highlights the complexity and intrigue surrounding this topic. Overall, the conversation around UFOs is evolving, and the acknowledgment of their potential non-human origins marks a turning point in the public discourse.
Controversy surrounding Lou Elizondo's role in UFO investigations: Despite inconsistencies, it's crucial to separate fact from speculation regarding Lou Elizondo's involvement in UFO investigations and motives.
Lou Elizondo, the former head of the Pentagon's UFO investigation program, has faced controversy and inconsistencies regarding his involvement with various program names and his current role as a consultant for Space Force. Some in the UFO community have accused him of being a dark agent pushing a disinformation campaign, but the evidence for this is lacking. While it's important to be skeptical, it's also crucial to separate fact from speculation. The inconsistencies in Elizondo's statements regarding his involvement with ORSAP and other programs need to be addressed, but jumping to conclusions about his motives without solid evidence is not productive. Additionally, it's worth considering the possibility that Elizondo's public disclosures could be part of a calculated disclosure strategy by the government itself. Regardless, the UFO phenomenon remains a topic of intense public interest and debate.
Former Defense Intelligence Agency officer Lou Elizondo's UFO claims and background: Former Defense Intelligence Agency officer Lou Elizondo, who ran a UFO investigation program, has made astounding claims about UFOs and government cover-ups. Despite inconsistencies and concerns, he is viewed as a knowledgeable and compelling figure in the UFO debate due to his background and past achievements.
Despite inconsistencies in documents and past statements, former Defense Intelligence Agency officer Lou Elizondo is held in high regard within the defense and intelligence community. Elizondo, who ran a UFO investigation program before leaving government, has made some astounding claims about UFOs and government cover-ups. While there are concerns about his past roles and statements, many view him as a knowledgeable and compelling figure. The issue of disinformation and misinformation in the field of UFOlogy and intelligence community is not new, and it can be challenging for journalists to separate fact from fiction. Ultimately, the decision to believe or disbelieve Elizondo's claims rests on the evidence and the credibility of the sources. However, his background and past achievements add weight to his claims, making him an intriguing and complex figure in the ongoing UFO debate.
Call for UFO research to become more scientific and objective: Elizondo urges UFO community to move past infighting and allow scientific analysis to lead, as mainstream interest grows and potential national security implications emerge
The field of UFO research needs to move beyond the fringe and become more scientific and objective as the mainstream media and Congress begin to take interest in Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). Elizondo's call for ufology to "die" was likely referring to the need for gatekeepers and UFO enthusiasts to step aside and allow rigorous, scientific analysis to take the lead. The infighting and obsession with minutiae within the UFO community is a concern, as it could hinder the progress of serious research at a critical time. Instead, there should be a combined effort to collate and assess data in a responsible and serious manner. This shift towards mainstream analysis is not elitist, but rather a necessary step towards understanding the phenomenon and potentially uncovering any potential national security implications.
