Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick had a few choice words for the public on his way out the door of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office.

      Unfortunately not many reporters are reporting on this sincerely besides TheHill and Newsweek, although it’s slowly becoming more sincere.

      Here’s an opinion piece that describes the situation when it originally started last year and contains a pretty accurate non biased overview.

      Most recently there was a SCIF held on January 10th with the UAP caucus, and the IG regarding the Grusch claims. NY times article where some Congress people substantiating a few of Grusch claims.

      Also very important to note, in general this is a very non-partisan issue (Republicans are definitely the most outspoken though). A UAP bill was put forward by Chuck Schumer in December to be included in the NDAA, which would declassify UAP materials that didn’t expose national security, and force all UAP materials to be returned to the US Government. It was unfortunately gutted by the House during negotiations (specifically by Congressmen lobbied by defense contractors). Take that as you will, but I think the fact that this is being discussed to be codified in law and not entirely hidden behind the executive branch with zero oversight is great for the public.

        Those are both interesting articles, thanks, although the first is written assuming the reader has so much knowledge about what’s been going on between the intelligence community and congressional disclosure and oversight that I’ll have to read it again a few times to really understand what he’s saying.

        I also think it’s great that the extraterrestrial question is at least being discussed and investigated with some form of earnestness, even if in classified meetings.
