After the May 17, 2022 hearings in the House of Representatives, it was known that briefings were happening behind the scenes and, likely, with whistleblowers. This may be so because, soon thereafter, the Senate released emergency provisions for whistleblowers. After that, as explained by Christopher Sharp, there was an explanatory report about an “exponential increase in transmedium objects” (objects that can move between space, air, and water). And there were many criticisms about the lame report given in a hearing of the U.S. House of Representatives on May 17, 2022.
Then, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY
2023 NDAA was combined with the FY 2023 Intelligence Authorization Act (IAA).
The coupling of the NDAA with the IAA shows that key Congressmen are trying to
get information about the legacy programs and current secret UFO
programs. However, they are not required to share this with the public and,
particularly, cannot legally share data gathering ways and means, and
breakthrough technologies.
The blended NDAA forces both the DoD and IC to report (to the
adequate armed services and intelligence committees and proper
congressional leaders) information about programs that had not been previously
or adequately reported. Now, if there are people that have knowledge about
these programs (also within private contractors) they can break their
non-disclosure agreements or verbal orders from superiors to report to AARO
(All Anomalies Resolution Office), and once AARO has validated that
information they will report it to the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense
(working under the Secretary of Defense) and not to Ronald Moultrie
Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security USDI&S from
(allies of Garry Reid, obfuscating adversary of Lue Elizondo).
Then the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) will have up to 72 hrs. to
report that information to the relevant congressional committees.
The key point is that the new legislation compels the Department of
Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC) to cooperate and support AARO
which also has a core group of representatives from multiple departments and agencies
in the intelligence community and military services. The endeavor is primarily
coordinated by Director of National Intelligence (DNI) and the office of the
Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) and the information will go to the defense and
intelligence committees and appropriate Congressional leaders.
July 21, 2022. “The Director of AARO is Sean Kirkpatrick,
chief scientist from DIA. The AARO will synchronize efforts across DOD and with
other federal agencies to detect and identify airborne, anomalous, unidentified
space, transmedium and submerged objects in and near military bases, training
areas, special use airspace, and other areas of interest, DOD said. Kirkpatrick
brings to the role over 20 years of experience in scientific and technical
intelligence, acquisitions, research and development, and space policy. He previously
served as deputy director of intelligence for U.S. Strategic Command, director
of the National Security Strategy at the National Security Council, and deputy
director of intelligence and DNI Representative for U.S. Space Command.”
It also appears that Mr. Ronald Moultrie (Undersecretary of Defense
for Intelligence and Security), will lead the AARO Executive Council to provide
oversight and direction to the newly created office.
“The office has six primary lines of effort: surveillance,
collection and reporting; system capabilities and design; intelligence
operations and analysis; mitigation and defeat; governance; and science and
technology.”
Christopher Sharp commented that Congress
was not happy over the previous reporting and hearings situation and conjectured
that the delay on the report that was due October 31 might be due to AARO’s
amount of work and current scarce resources. He mentioned that AARO provides
the data to ODNI (Office of Director of National Intelligence) and ODNI writes
the report but they also need to coordinate with other agencies to verify the
information.
Sharp indicated that “Legislative Affairs” is a liaison
office for ODNI to link with Congress. That there will be constant back and
forth between congressional staffers and ODNI to make sure that ODNI is meeting
the intent of Congress. We don’t know what is causing the delay. Perhaps AARO
is not meeting the intent of the NDAA because it is currently very poorly
staffed but no one (outside) knows what is really going on. Perhaps (to meet
the current NDAA intent stipulated in the current version) Dr. Kirkpatrick is
now forced to find information previous to 1945.
Douglas Dean Johnson mentions that Bill
Section 1673: Secure Method for Authorized Reporting (“Safe Harbor” or “UAP
Whistleblower” provision) To report to the Armed Services & Intelligence
Committees which do not have to share this information with the public.
AARO’s scope of interest is expanded in Section 1673(a)(1)(B)
"any activity or program by a department of agency of the Federal
Government or a contractor of such department or agency relating to
unidentified anomalous phenomena, including with respect to material retrieval,
material analysis, reverse engineering, research and development, detecting and
tracking, developmental or operational testing, and security protections and
enforcement."
Bill Sections 6802 & 6803. AARO will
conduct a historical record report on Government involvement in UAP. According
to the previous NDAA FY23 version, the (independent) General Accountability
Office (GAO) would have been assigned this task. The U.S. Comptroller General
with personnel of the Government Accountability Office will now audit the
historical record report process.
*The current NDAA now excludes AARO’s previous order to focus on
non-man-made objects: The Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence SSCI-approved bill (S. 4503) contained a proposed
definitional change to exclude from the scope of the phenomena being
investigated "temporary nonattributed objects or those that are positive
identified as man-made." This language has been dropped from the
final bill but left no doubts about what we are talking about. Moreover, the
provision that specified that whistleblowers could sue the government if they
felt that they had suffered reprisals for appropriately coming out with
information was also deleted.
The current NDAA bill changes the terms “Unidentified Aerial
Phenomena” and “Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena” to “Unidentified Anomalous
Phenomena.” This does not necessarily include paranormal or
multidimensional phenomena but has a focus on “objects” referring back
to the NDAA FY 2022 legislation regarding UAP as “(A) airborne objects that are
not immediately identifiable; (B) transmedium objects or devices; and (C)
submerged objects or devices that are not immediately identifiable and that
display behavior or performance characteristics suggesting that the objects or
devices may be related to the objects described in subparagraph (A)."
The term "transmedium objects or devices" is again
defined to mean those (objects) that are "observed to transition between
space and the atmosphere and bodies of water" and "are not
immediately identifiable."
Historical research: “The current NDAA
version places the responsibility for the historical research and report on
AARO and the Comptroller General and Government Accountability Office GAO
will only perform a later "audit" and part of the briefing to
Congress.”
“Now, the historical report that must be presented by AARO must
include "the historical record of the United States Government relating to
unidentified anomalous phenomena..." going back to January
1, 1945. The report is to include "a compilation and itemization of
the key historical record of the involvement of the intelligence community with
unidentified anomalous phenomena, including (I) any program or activity that
was protected by restricted access that has not been explicitly and clearly
reported to Congress; (II) successful or unsuccessful efforts to identify and
track unidentified anomalous phenomena; and (III) any efforts to obfuscate,
manipulate public opinion, hide, or otherwise provide incorrect unclassified or
classified information about unidentified anomalous phenomena or related
activities."
Christopher Mellon (former Deputy
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence) said in an interview given in
the 2022 Ufology World Congress that the U.S. Air Force (associated to the
Space Force) refused to research UAP in space because the previous IAA language
mentioned “unidentified aerial phenomena.” Also, the Space Force said
that being “aerial” it didn’t concern them. So, the legislators changed the
term first to “aerospace” and now to “anomalous.”
Christopher Sharp mentioned that it would be a good PR
process to have a public hearing for the more mainstream public with the likes
of pilots Alex Dietrich and Ryan Graves, establishing that UAP are not drones.
After that, there could be a more advanced one with the likes of Mellon (and
Elizondo) validating the existence of crash retrieval programs.
So, soon -upon enactment - likely in December 2022, this new NDAA will be signed by President Biden and as a resource for the DoD and IC (to openly recognize their UAP investigations, coordinating under one office and reporting to a Congress) that should be a game changer. But I wonder if the protection mechanism for whistleblowers is going to be sufficient since attorney Daniel Sheehan had doubts about it. Now the clause that had to do with whistleblowers suing the USG is also gone.
I also wonder if the delay in AARO-ODNI's UAP
report (mandated in December 2021 and due on October 31, 2022) means that they are doing their best to get at extensive information with
AARO's scarce resources or that they are pushing back and getting Congress and
'The People' used to DoD and IC setting their own limits. And, thus far, as of December 21, 2022, the public hasn't heard a word or an iota of a complaint for the delay from the U.S. Congress.
Will AARO be sincere and forthcoming with the public? Thus far, the UFO community has reasons to doubt. In the December 16, 2022 "media roundtable" with AARO's Director Sean Kirkpatric and OUSI&D Ronald Moultrie they asserted that out of hundreds more UAP cases studied, they had found no evidence of alien intelligence.
As Christopher Mellon also indicated (for instance, in an interview
given to Robert Fleischer), the intent is not public disclosure, but to
see if there is a national security threat. However, this may evolve in the
future and, as Christopher Sharp mentioned, a President and public pressure and
congressional interest could all converge to reveal much more, even if they
will not reveal details about ways, means, and technologies.
