This past week in Disclosure:

June 26 – Pentagon confirms ongoing collaboration between the Five Eyes alliance on UAP

The U.S. Department of Defense confirmed to Liberation Times that the United States and its allies within Five Eyes (UK, AUS, NZ, CAN,USA) continue to discuss “areas of mutual interest and concern related to UAP”.

The article contains several official statements from various government spokespeople.

UK Ministry of Defense:

“In over 50 years, no sightings of extra-terrestrial intelligence, Unidentified Flying Objects and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena reported to us indicated the existence of any military threat to the United Kingdom."

US DoD:

“AARO held its first FVEY Working Group in May 2023 and continues to discuss areas of mutual interest and concern related to UAP with its FVEY partners. 

AARO is committed to working with allies and partners in an open, sharing environment to identify and resolve UAP sightings.”

June 26 – Rep. Jim Himes dismisses the UAP topic: “there is no there there….”

In conversation with Askapol, Rep. Himes reiterates the official findings from AARO and suggests Senators should “get briefed and then move on”.

Askapol*: Some people, like* Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD) — who’s Intel and Armed Services, same with Gillibrand — they both aren’t convinced that Congress knows every SAP or Special Access Program.

Himes*: “Well they need to get briefed by AARO. AARO will take them through every single compartmented program. […]. Now, are there two or three or four or five phenomenon that we don’t have the science around that we don’t — or some sighting or whatever — no, it’s not perfection. But, you know, again, I wish we had aliens, but we don’t.”*

June 27 – Rep. Moskowitz pushes back on Rep. Himes’ assertions “We know that there are UAPs they can’t explain. Why can’t they explain them?”

Speaking to Askapol, Rep. Moskowitz responds directly to the assertions brought forth by Rep. Himes the day before.

Askapol: “Well, he says this whole UAP investigation is a waste of time. Like, he’s 1,000% convinced and has been by AARO.”

Moskowitz: “What do you think AARO is gonna walk in and be like, ‘yeah, it’s true?’…I mean, we know that there are UAPs. And we know that there are UAPs they can’t explain. Why can’t they explain them?”

Askapol: “Where do you wanna see this investigation go?”

Moskowitz: “I mean, we talked to pilots, right? We talked to pilots — decorated pilots, people not part of this whole thing who say, ‘I know what I saw,’ right? Over bases. So, you know, look — I don’t do this deep-state nonsense. But no, there is definitely a concerted effort by our government to keep information from us. When the stealth helicopters came out of Area 51 to go kill Osama bin Laden, nobody knew those helicopters existed.”

June 27 – Rep. Grothman predicts next UAP hearing will be in September or after the upcoming election

Congressman Glenn Grothman (R-WI) chaired the 2023 Congressional UAP hearing and is predicting Congress will hold a UAP hearing in September or after the election.

Things to look out for in the near future:

July/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
  • Some commentators have speculated that the architects of the UAPDA (e.g. Sens. Schumer/Rounds et al) are working diligently behind the scenes to continue furthering serious legislative UAP transparency efforts
