    I was eagerly awaiting the Sol Foundation videos to post. Most importantly that of Karl Nell, retired Colonel US Army and former Deputy Chief of Staff, US Africa Command. Nell gives a breakdown of legislation, how UAP classification has been kept from Congress, guidelines of what constitutes UAP, and the overall impact of disclosure.

    The basis of his presentation revolved around the formation of the former Schumer UAP amendement and timeline for disclosure. And, while the Schumer Amendment was stripped of some its strongest components (review board, eminent domain, etc.), the fundamentals are still in place to kick off controlled disclosure of UAP. This should serve as good basis for where we’re at with potential disclosure and potential progress made in coming years.

    More videos from The Sol Foundation’s conference can be found on their YouTube page.

      It’s good to see these actually got posted. It woulda been quite the boondoggle if they just disappeared.

    On the Pros/Cons slide there is mention that the US may be losing the UAP race. My thoughts went straight to the Alaska UAP shoot down during the Chinese ‘balloon’ incidents.

      That event stays on my mind thinking about the current state of the topic. It seemed to be a turning point in how the government was addressing UAP. David Grusch had already spoken to the ICIG and provided info to Congress, though I don’t know that he spoke directly to any member of Congress. However, the sightings and shoot down last year seemed like the turning point. It either reaffirmed something they were already suspecting after Grusch came forward or it showed that they really don’t know what’s going on. And, to your comment, Grusch has mentioned adversaries possessing or researching UAP.
