Unprecedented legislation was just signed into law by Biden this week. Game changing stuff that has full support of congress and the president. Unreal. @Orbital-Fetus they still don’t understand what’s happening.



Unprecedented UAP Legislation​


Unbeknownst to most Americans, President Biden just signed into law far-reaching legislation that could soon confirm the existence of an alien presence on earth. The relevant provisions, incorporated into legislation needed to provide funding for the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Intelligence Community (IC), enjoys strong bipartisan support in both the House and Senate. This is arguably the biggest story mainstream news organizations have ever failed to cover. Among other things, this new legislation:



  1. Provides greatly enhanced authorities and resources for the ‘All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office’ or ‘(AARO),’ which now reports directly to the leaders of the Defense Department and the Intelligence Community. The organization’s unusual name is intended to clarify that its purview extends to anomalous objects regardless of their location (i.e. land, air, undersea, or space).
  2. Mandates a review of all intelligence documents involving UAP from 1945 to the present.
  3. Requires DoD, DHS, and the IC to identify any non-disclosure agreements related to UAP and provide those to the new AARO office.
  4. Directs the new AARO office to develop a UAP science plan to assess the sometimes mysterious and mind-bending capabilities being reported as well as a collection plan to leverage America’s vast technical intelligence apparatus to determine where these objects are coming from and their capabilities and intent. This aggressive UAP investigation, using America’s unparalleled intelligence capabilities, is what I hoped to accomplish when I brought the famous DoD UAP videos (“Gimbal” and “Flir”) and Lue Elizondo to the NYT and the oversight committees on Capitol Hill in December, 2017. Recall that Mr. Elizondo had just resigned his position on the staff of the Secretary of Defense in protest over DoD inaction in the face of innumerable violations of restricted DoD airspace by UAP.
  5. Provides a secure process for anyone who has signed an official US government secrecy agreement related to UAP to come forward and reveal that information to AARO and to Congress, regardless of the level of classification, without fear of retribution or prosecution. This provision is intended to determine the veracity of longstanding allegations indicating that the US government has recovered extraterrestrial technology and perhaps even extraterrestrial beings. The alleged UAP crash in 1947 near Roswell, New Mexico, offers the most famous example, but there are many others. For example, in his new book Trinity: The Best Kept Secret, the renowned writer, scientist and venture capitalist Dr. Jacques Vallee surfaces a new case of alleged ET spacecraft recovery operations.


The historical intelligence document review, and the review of government secrecy agreements, should be completed over the next 18 months. That process alone could validate claims the US government has been concealing proof of an extraterrestrial presence near earth. If it seems unbelievable that Congress would pass such legislation, it is only because of the paucity of reporting on the facts that caused members of both parties in Congress to join together to pass these provisions.

Even before this ‘whistleblower’ legislation was signed into law, credible individuals were providing Congress

information alleging that the US government has recovered extraterrestrial technology. This process began in 2018 when I brought astrophysicist Dr. Eric Davis to Capitol Hill to meet with staff from the Senate Intelligence and Armed Services committees. Dr. Davis, author of the famous Wilson-Davis memo, provided specific information lending credence to sensational reports that an official US government program is actively seeking to exploit recovered technology that was fashioned by some other species or perhaps advanced AI machines. Much of the information Dr. Davis provided remains highly classified, but the good news is that these sensational claims, which have the potential to transform our understanding of the universe and man’s place within it, are now being taken seriously and properly investigated. I’ve brought others besides Dr. Davis and Lue Elizondo to the Hill and the AARO office and I am encouraging anyone else who may be able to help set the record straight to step forward as well.



I’m not claiming that the information provided to Congress or to AARO proves that earth has been visited by extraterrestrials. However, Dr. Davis and Mr. Elizondo and other witnesses are credible former government officials who worked on highly classified government programs. Having heard their reports, and those of others who are coming forward, I can vouch for the fact that the AARO office has serious leads to pursue. The media is doing the public a great disservice by ignoring the UAP issue because a sudden shocking revelation runs the risk of being far more disruptive and disturbing than information gradually processed and absorbed. If these claims prove true, blindsiding the public greatly increases the risk of negative consequences.



Although it is true that Congress could seek to keep the AARO office’s findings confidential, it is doubtful that this information can be kept under wraps for long if confirmed. I say that not because the government is incapable of keeping secrets. Indeed, the reverse is more nearly true: DoD and DoE black programs are almost never compromised. By contrast, intelligence reports (e.g. reports on the Iranian nuclear program) often leak because policymakers want to influence public opinion, but even in those cases the technical or human sources behind the reporting are rarely revealed. In fact, while serving as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence at DoD, I can only recall one instance of a DoD special access program being compromised and that was simply because the capability was used in combat during the Gulf War. In the case of UAP, however, the individuals coming forward want the information to be disclosed, as do many members of Congress who are the recipients of the information being gathered by AARO. In that regard, I recently had the opportunity to ask Senator Gillibrand, a leading sponsor of the legislation, whether she would support revealing the existence of alien technology if the whistleblower process confirms these sensational allegations. Without missing a beat, she replied: “Of course! Why not?” Most members of Congress and their staff, and most of those coming forward presenting evidence, seem to agree that the American people have a right to know. This is therefore a case where I believe the truth, whatever it proves to be, will prevail in the not too distant future.



Even if the UAP whistleblower provision and UAP document reviews being mandated by Congress do not lead to confirmation of an ET presence near Earth, ongoing governmental and scientific investigations of UAP activity might lead to the same conclusion. Now that the anti-UAP stigma is being lifted, and the government has established UAP reporting procedures, fresh data regarding hundreds of new UAP incidents is pouring in. At last count the official number of UAP incidents was at 400, and is still rapidly increasing. If the media is guilty of the sin of omission when it comes to reporting on the unprecedented, bipartisan UAP legislation that was just signed into law, they are guilty of the sin of commission when it comes to misleading reporting regarding UAP activity detected by DoD and the IC. I’ll have more to say about that soon. For the moment, I’ll simply venture to predict that the facts, when they emerge, will directly contradict recent reporting in the Wall Street Journal by Holman Jenkins Jr. and Seth Shostak, as well as reporting in the New York Times by Julian Barnes, which claims that conventional explanations have been found for most of the UAP reports identified by DoD and the IC. I believe that the report, when it emerges, will deepen the UAP mystery rather than provide explanations for the burgeoning number of UAP incidents involving violations of US airspace.



Consider that although the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has produced nothing of import, despite decades of work, it is still rightly regarded as a worthwhile effort. The most notable SETI incident occurred back in the 70’s, when a strangely powerful and mysterious signal was detected. It has become famously known as the Wow! signal. Although it remains unexplained, there is now some reason to believe it may have had a terrestrial origin. By contrast, the US government has only just begun officially investigating UAP with modern sensors yet we already have hundreds of official military cases that defy conventional explanation. Hundreds of Wow!-like events, most involving data from multiple sensors! Moreover, in some cases, the ET hypothesis seems the best or only viable explanation (e.g. the Nimitz case which left no doubt in the minds of some of the Navy pilots and radar operators).



I therefore suggest giving the UAP investigative process a chance and I am frankly baffled why anyone would expect DoD or the IC to have firm answers when the AARO office is only just beginning to be properly staffed and funded. Would we expect SETI to find definitive proof of aliens the moment they began collecting data? Meanwhile, with this recently passed legislation, Americans have reason to hope we will soon know the truth of legendary allegations that the US government has recovered alien technology. For those seized with curiosity over the UAP issue, I can’t imagine a better Christmas gift than this new UAP legislation.



Merry Christmas, with special thanks and appreciation to the members of Congress and their staffs who have put national security and science ahead of stigma and ignorance.

Game over breh. Best part too is congress is removing direct involvement of all individuals and departments that tried to hide legislation. Great article on it. This is not a game.


Office Which ‘Lied’ And ‘Persecuted Whistleblowers’ Sidelined By Congress From U.S. UFO Investigation​

23 Dec
Hearing.png

Written by Christopher Sharp - 23 December 2022
President Joe Biden today signed the Fiscal 2023 National Defense Authorization Act into law, which has been shaped by Congress over previous months.
Of note, the legislation contains new provisions relating to what is now known as Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).
Provisions include protections and reporting mechanisms for potential whistleblowers involved in alleged UAP retrieval and reverse-engineering programs, and the requirement for a new report detailing the historical records and documents belonging to the intelligence community relating to UAP from 1 January 1945 onwards.
Of note, the legislation also means that Dr Sean Kirkpatrick, Director of the UAP office known as the AARO, will now report directly to Deputy Secretary of Defense,Kathleen Hicks, and the Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, Stacey Dixon, on all operational and security matters relating to the AARO.
Only administrative matters will now be reported to the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security (OUSDI&S), where a UAP office has been located since 2021, meaning that it would effectively be sidelined on the most important elements of UAP investigations.
Speaking to Liberation Times, Pentagon spokesperson Susan Gough commented:
‘Per the FY23 NDAA enacted today, as Director of AARO, Dr Kirkpatrick will continue reporting to the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security for AARO administrative matters.
‘He will report to the Deputy Secretary of Defense and the Director of National Intelligence on operational and security matters.
‘I refer you to Congress regarding why they made that change.’
Liberation Times has contacted the office of Senate Intelligence Committee Chair, Senator Mark Warner, for further comment and is awaiting a response.
Former Director of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program(AATIP), Lue Elizondo, has previouslywarned of the involvement from OUSDI&S, stating:
‘Please, please, please contact your representatives and let them know this is unacceptable and not in the best interest of the American people. The USDI is the one single office that has continuously lied about this topic and persecuted whistleblowers.’

In an open letter published in November2021, Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Christopher Mellon was scathing of OUSDI&S, writing:
‘As a former OSD staffer myself, I'm shocked that the DepSecDef would assign the UAP function to an oversight staff with no UAP funding, line authority, contracting, command, or technical capabilities.
‘Indeed, the inability of USDI to engage effectively on the UAP issue is why so little has changed or been accomplished since 2004.’
The confirmation of this move comes six days after Ronald Moultrie, Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, hosted an AARO press roundtable with Dr Kirkpatrick.
At that roundtable, Moultrie commented:
“As I said to congressional leaders in May, we are fully committed to the principles of openness and accountability to the American people.
“We are committed to sharing as much detail with the public as we can. With that, I’d like to turn this over to Dr Kirkpatrick to share some of the progress that we’ve made since AARO’s establishment.”



Going forward, Moultrie will be less involved in the day-to-day running of the AARO.
Eyebrows were raised in April 2021, when it was confirmed that Director of Defense Intelligence, Garry Reid, was Executive Secretary of the OUSDI&S UAP office previously known as AOIMSG. That was despite Lue Elizondo making a complaint accusing Reid of playing a central role in obfuscating information regarding the UAP topic.
In his complaint, Elizondo accused Reid of ‘malicious activities, coordinated disinformation, professional misconduct, whistleblower reprisal, and explicit threats.’
Elizondo told The Debrief:
“He was one of the biggest obstacles to the DoD’s investigations and public transparency of unidentified aerial phenomena.”
Despite being removed from his position, in July 2022, Pentagon spokesperson, Susan Gough, confirmed that Reid was a Senior Advisor to the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Scott Berrier.
From now on, OUSDI&S and Reid’s former colleagues will be removed from the operational and security facets of the AARO - the most significant aspects of its efforts, meaning Moultrie’s office will no longer play a pivotal role in its operations.

This is great news! Hopefully we’ll get some more answers and we’ll be closer to disclosure. Still, I remain skeptical of the USG being forthcoming, given its history on the subject. I’m a UFO/Alien believer and would like nothing more than to get concrete evidence of alien presence. It will change the world.

I think it’s great to remain skeptical. However, this is not project blue book. This isn’t an effort by the defense department to create something to calm the public’s fear. This is something created by congress because they have enough credible evidence that something is going on. Not only did they make the office, but they are removing agencies that are trying to keep this in the dark. This also isn’t one agency of the government working on this like the Air Force and blue book, this is a whole of government approach. It’s possible that they do find something so far reaching that they withhold it for national security reasons but I doubt it this time. Congress is not letting up and each year they pass stronger legislation. The people that hid stuff have a reason to be scared now.
