Closing UAP Information Gaps to Advance National Security: Some Suggestions for Congress and the New Administration
The Debrief ^ | Chris Mellon, Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence

Posted on 02/08/2025 8:07:29 AM PST by RoosterRedux

Since Congress established AARO in 2022, over 1,200 official new UAP reports have been submitted to AARO. This represents great progress, but the frequency of these “tactical” reports makes it hard to understand the near-total absence of UAP reporting from the massive radar and space surveillance systems operated by the U.S. military and Intelligence Community. The examples below should help Congress and the public better appreciate the disconnect between tactical UAP reporting, primarily from military personnel aboard ships and aircraft, and what appears to be an embargo on UAP reporting to AARO and Congress from America’s massive aerospace monitoring systems.

...

For example, on October 25, 2018, two F-15s based in Portland, Oregon, were scrambled in an attempt to intercept a fast, high-flying unidentified object that had penetrated U.S. airspace from the Pacific. I checked with AARO and confirmed that the Air Force failed to submit a report about this incident. Another case involving an even more anomalous object came to light in November 2023 when someone in the Air Force made a “protected disclosure” to their local Representative, former Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL). This intriguing case involved an Air Force fighter intercept of one of 4 objects detected hovering in a diamond-shaped formation off the coast of Florida near Eglin Air Force Base.

The UAP reportedly interfered with the fighter’s onboard sensor systems, a pattern observed on numerous other occasions, including the famous Nimitz incident. The object also had a bizarre, bulky configuration, reminding the pilot of a lunar lander. Both cases came to light by chance; the first was due to an alert reporter who learned from FAA sources of the incident over Oregon, and the latter was due to a rare “protected disclosure.”

These and other inadvertently disclosed cases help confirm that the Air Force detects and attempts to intercept UAP despite its historic denials regarding UAP detection. In that regard, I was shocked to learn that in the first unclassified report on UAP incidents submitted to Congress in June 2021, the Air Force failed to provide a single instance of a UAP encounter from 2004 through at least 2019.

The title is missing the letter "C" at the beginning of the title. (i.e., "Closing UAP Information Gaps to Advance National Security: Some Suggestions for Congress and the New Administration").

Sorry about that.

One video for you that you may not have seen:

This is an “Elizondo” guy unrelated to Lu—this Elizondo was one of the co authors of “Loose Threads”:

https://omega-point.medium.com/loose-threads-af8f652ee8cb

He discusses a wide range of topics in UFO world—some new and interesting thoughts—very bright guy.

The most interesting thing about UAPs is that the beings supposedly inside them are not sentient, as we all have come to believe, but the crafts are.

See Jake Barber ( USAF UAP retrieval helicopter pilot ) interview on NewsNation TV. 3 hr

I remember that statement by Jake. I think what he was trying to say was that the grays are basically biologic robots and not sentient, but the craft itself was alive and sentient.

Abductees often report that there are other beings involved that are described as tall grays. They are sentient and in charge.

Do you have a link(s) to any credible testimony that makes that claim?

I've been reading abduction accounts from many years. I don't keep links. I refer you to Dr. John Mack of Harvard Medical School, Prof. David Jacobs (Temple Univ), Budd Hopkins (IIRC Hopkins published his first account in 1976).

Which particular part are you interested in? Small grays often being described as little soldier-like robots or the tall grays? And then are those who report very tall and very frightening mantis-like beings wearing hooded robes (these accounts are moderately rare).

Let me add that I don't form conclusions as to what is going on there. As John Mack said, "I don't know what's going on, but something is (going on)."

I just reread you message. Sorry for misreading it the first time. I was in the middle of my daily workout and checked my computer while catching my breath.

Many, if not most of the abduction accounts tell of the tall grays in the background overlooking the medical exams of abductees. They are often described as doctors or supervisors.

As said, I refer you to, Mack et al.

As John Mack said, “I don’t know what’s going on, but something is (going on).”

Jake Baker’s Skywatch plans to reveal just what is going on - something that many are aware of, but have not revealed - Skywatch plans get some irrefutable evidence, as well as psychic evidence, in which both are testable and scientifically verifiable.

In his interview, Don Paul Bales ( a Baker co-worker and friend ) said there are many, many categories of ‘craft’ and entities - more than anyone could imagine; some are beings, some are craft, some are multi-dimensional, some are ‘Whales’ - native to space and are able to move through any environment with ease.

Its not that we are on the cusp of a reveal, we are in the reveal, he said.

Everyone’s life will change.

What will not yet be revealed is the tech. Think Zero Point Energy. Civilization is based on oil, which is in itself generally harmless. But ZPE would not only totally replace oil, but give anyone the ability to kill anyone or as many anyones they hated instantly, with no defense possible. Mass death would be everywhere. Its that sort of tech we are not ready for.

Everyone wants to live in peace and have a good life. Most everyone believes in a higher power, and with the reveal, they will find the reality. The reveal is a good thing, not to be feared; it will be both physical and spiritual.

I thought the John Paul Bales interview by Ross was excellent.

That said, regarding someone knowing "everything," I am dubious.

I trust no one about this big reveal. Not that I don't think people honestly believe they know. I don't doubt that.

It's that the truth is a rare commodity during paradigm shifts.

If—as folks like Barber and Skywatch claim they can “call” the UFOs using psychic powers then all they have to do is stand outside the WH gate and “call” the UFOs over the WH.

They can call a press conference so any media can observe.

I have a recommended date/already scheduled event for them that will guarantee massive press coverage since it will already be on the White House lawn:

Fun for the whole family!

It is time to put up or shut up.....

There are many players in this game - some have been killed to keep their mouths shut. There are at least one 3-letter agency involved on the ‘good’ side. Nothing happens until there is a surety that the ‘bad guys’, the malevolent forces are at bay or in some way neutralized. The guys coming forward are risking everything, including their lives and the lives of their families.

Impatience will not make things happen quicker.

Nothing will help save the lives of whistleblowers better than a massive White House landing.

Then the UFO reality is undeniable and the whistleblowers are safe.

This slow drip drip drip puts all their lives in danger.
