There's a lot of talk that the DOD is freaked-out about whistleblower-driven, piecemeal UFO disclosures spiraling beyond their control.
Some within the DOD believe they must act swiftly to regain control of the narrative (by starting their own disclosure). However, it may already be too late for them to get ahead of the situation.
I'll bet the Air Force is still not on-board with this DOD disclosure plan.;-)
This video has some short Matthew Pines clips if you want a quick intro:

Agreed on the Air Force—they will be dragged along kicking and screaming—if at all.
What they dread most imho is some future US President saying:
“You have failed the American people. You have had eighty years to rid our skies of these visitors. You have failed. I am firing all of you publicly today.”
