If you listen closely to Gallaudet he does say:

“I don’t know what they are.”

He does not say:

“I do know what they are but I can’t reveal that because it is covered by National Security.”

I take him at his word.

He does not know what the USOs are.

“I don’t know what they are.”

That covers a vast range of possibilities. And I wouldn't take anyone in the military at their word when it comes to classified intel.

BTW, when I say "he knows," I don't mean that he knows everything about what black programs are doing. It is quite possible that the Navy doesn't know.

I mean he knows that "they" are here and they aren't human. And he knows as much as anyone in the Navy knows unless the Navy has a rogue element that is somehow connected to the black programs.
