UFO Whistleblowers Would Get Immunity Under New Amendment
thedrive.com - The War Zone ^ | HOWARD ALTMAN

Posted on 07/08/2022 1:40:52 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

In an effort to protect those with information about unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and increase the influx of reports about them, Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wisc) has introduced an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act.

"The amendment would establish a process within the government for reporting UAPs and provide whistleblower-like protections,” Gallagher’s spokesman Jordan Dunn told The War Zone Thursday morning.

For a multitude of reasons, U.S. troops and government contractors have traditionally been reluctant to come forward with information about these incidents, regardless of their validity. Beyond that, there have also been long-standing allegations that the government and defense contractors could be hiding previous UFO-related programs and evidence. This would allow those with information to come forward without retribution.

Some have even posited that language like that in Gallagher's amendment could lead to "UFO disclosure."

In essence, it says that regardless of any previous written or oral non-disclosure agreements “that could be interpreted as a legal constraint on reporting by a witness of an unidentified aerial phenomena,” those with information about UAPs, more commonly known as UFOs, would not be violating federal classified information laws if they come forward.

The amendment also calls for the head of the new Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group (AOIMSG), tasked with investigating UAPs on behalf of the Defense Secretary and Director of National Intelligence, to establish “a secure system” for receiving reports of “any events relating to” UAPs and any government or government contractor activity or program related to UAPs.

The reporting system shall be administered by "designated and widely known, easily accessible, and appropriately cleared Department of Defense and intelligence community employees or contractors" as part of AOIMSG, which is a much enhanced and more deeply mandated effort that replaced the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force.

Should pass an amendment that says anyone who observes a UFO is fired for failing to recognize a weather balloon. All UFOs would vanish into the ether.

Or maybe a convenient “explanation” just in case a whole bunch of people were to suddenly disappear...

Are balloons still used for weather data collection work? Seems pretty lo tech to still have to go into the field and launch balloons given the up to date instruments available now.

Excellent point. The MIB are, as far as we know, completely outside the system.

The people who really know are not going to be whistleblowers.

Satellites aren’t good at measuring air temperature at different altitudes.

Not interested in this shiny balloon. People need to stop playing the politician's “squirrel!” game.

Well, you are interested enough to show up and comment.;-)

That said, most people who follow this issue would disagree with you that this is nothing but a deflection by politicians.

Politicians have been forced kicking and screaming to look into this issue and those that have attended classified briefings have emerged shell-shocked with what they have heard from the DOD, DIA, etc. (who were also forced kicking and screaming to testify).

I'm not saying I know what these "UFO/UAP's" are, but they aren't "squirrels," weather balloons, or swamp gas.

They’re sure making a big deal.

Almost as if they expect something...
