Last week seemed to be
my week for everything Disclosure. On Coast-to-Coast AM, I provided some
of the latest data on Congressional efforts to push through legislation on
opening government files with an eye to transparency on issues dealing with
UFOs, which they now insist on calling UAP.
(See my interview with
Steve Bassett that discusses the use of UAP as opposed to UFO on the radio and
television version of A Different Perspective. Link below).
Senate Majority Leader,
Chuck Schumer, who, with Senator Mike Rounds, proposed legislation that would
establish a board to declassify government records on UFOs, are being opposed
by House Republicans.
The Anomalous Phenomena
Act of 2023, was aimed at increasing transparency about UAP. The Act outlines a
process for disclosure of UAP records. According to Schumer, the House
Republicans are, “Attempting to kill another commonsense bipartisan measure… to
increase transparency around what the government does and does not know about
unidentified aerial [sic] phenomena.”
According to The
Byte, Sean Kirkpatrick, who was the head of AARO, said that government
secrecy results in conspiracy theories. If there is a void in information that
void will be filled by the right-wing public and various conspiracy theories
and accusations. This is, of course, the old dodge that labels witnesses and
those interested in UFOs as being slightly out of touch with reality. Slap a label
on this, such as being right-wing and you can deflect the message, even when the
facts are based in reality.

Kirkpatrick went so far
as to accuse whistleblowers of derailing the work of AARO, which seems to be a
suggestion that the whistleblowers are not relaying reliable information. As
the ultimate man on the inside, the implication is that Kirkpatrick would know
the truth about what is in the government files but we’re not allowed to see
that. So much for transparency.
But here is the thing
about counterintelligence. When you detect a leak, you then force false information
into the leak to discredit all the information coming from that source. And you
attempt to discredit the sources by suggesting them of creating confusion.
Rather than AARO having an agenda to explain all UAP sightings, Kirkpatrick is
suggesting that the problems arise from the sensational claims made by those whistleblowers.
In fact, Kirkpatrick that
his work was stymied by the sensational claims of wrecked UFOs but the claims
were unsupported. Advocates of the crashed UFO claims have ignored
contradictory evidence but these claims have captured the attention of the
public and governmental policy makers. Of course, he hasn’t proved his
allegation either.
But the claims of some
of the stories of crash retrievals are backed up by solid eyewitness testimony,
government documents, and obviously half-baked cover stories, such as Project
Mogul explaining the Roswell debris. Accepting that explanation means that you
reject the field notes and diary entries of Dr. Albert Crary. Crary was the man
in charge of the balloon launches in New Mexico in June 1947. According to
those notes, made at the time, in the field, was that Mogul Flight No. 4, the
culprit that allegedly dropped the debris outside of Roswell, had been canceled.
If it didn’t fly, then it couldn’t have been responsible for the debris found
by Mack Brazel, and that explanation collapses. This is contradictory evidence
that Kirkpatrick along with various members of the general public, the skeptics
and some government agencies ignored.
He said that the job of
AARO was to determine the nature of the UFOs and not hunt for aliens.
Kirkpatrick told CNN that often the strange craft being reported were secret
military vehicles. This is the same excuse that has been offered in the past by
the CIA among others, but a review of the records does nothing to validate that
claim. Kirkpatrick added that transparency and messaging was the key to stop
the public from jumping to conclusions with their wild speculations. I say that
transparency would help us get to the truth much faster whatever that truth
happens to be... unless there are agencies that don’t want that truth revealed.
At the other end of the
spectrum, whistleblower David Grusch, the former Air Force intelligence
officer, told a select group of highly-placed people recently that he had
learned about a forty-foot craft that had been recovered by the government that
could manipulate time and space so that it was the size of a football field on
the inside. Those familiar with Dr. Who, the British science fiction
program, recognized this as one of the attributes of the TARDIS, the doctor’s
time machine using for traveling around the galaxy.
Here is something that Grusch
said that changes the conversation if the information is accurate. According to
Grush, he, with other intelligence officials, was trained to track UAP in the
atmosphere or in orbit, using a unique frequency that is emitted by the UAP. This
might have something to do with the EM Effects reported in the close approach
of some UFOs. The most extreme example of this are the sightings and stalling
of car engines in and around Levelland, Texas, in November 1957 which the Air Force
wrote off as ball lightning, a ridiculous notion. I wrote a book about those
sightings and some incredible revelations about some of the witnesses. That
book was cleverly entitled Levelland.
Grusch said that at one
point, one of the competitors with the US, was going to tell of the existence
of non-human intelligences to gain some sort of advantage over the United
States. This might be a reference to a head of state confirming that there were
crash recovered vehicles. Steve Bassett did point out some interesting aspects
of that in my conversation with him just last week. (Yes, the link is below).
Grusch did provide the
name of one of the other officers involved in this, Jay Stratton. This was in
connection with claims that he, Grusch and other whistleblowers had been
threatened in an attempt to silence them.
Stratton served for
more than 32 years in the Army, Air Force, Air Force Reserve and the Federal
Civil Service (As did I, except for the Federal Civil Service. I was in the
Army National Guard instead.) His current assignment is the Senior Analyst,
Nimitz Operational Intelligence Center, ONI (Mine, for those interested, is
retired officer). He is responsible for delivering comprehensive intelligence
to Navy leadership that would include information about crash recoveries.
All of this suggested
to me that Disclosure is not close. I had once believed it was, especially
after Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal partially opened that door in 2017 with
their revelation of sightings around the USS Nimitz. Bassett discussed
this as well during my conversation with him You can listen to that interview
here, which touches on some of the points I made above:
And for those with a
more visual philosophy, you can watch it here:
The discussion was wide
ranging and it provided a glimpse at some of the behind the scenes maneuvering
that has gone on in the last several years. He provided some interesting
history behind the “fight” for Disclosure and provided an answer for why the
government maintains the secrecy after all these years.
In UFOs and the Deep
State, I provide an explanation as well. Our two points of view aren’t all
that much different. Public panic in the world today is not one of the
considerations, given how far society has changed since 1947.
Bassett does suggest
that the cloak of deniability would be lifted when a head of state came out
claiming that UFOs, that is UAP, were off-world, that is, extraterrestrial
craft. Secrecy will persist until something happens in a public arena that can’t
be denied such as the remains of a craft and bodies were found in a way that
the government couldn’t deny it or if a head of state made the announcement
about it.

Bassett suggested that
David Grush altered the plans for Disclosure by discussing what he knew before
some of the other aspects were in place. As I say, you can listen to Bassett’s commentary
at one of the above links to understand the whole picture.
You can find links to
my show A Different Perspective on this blog. They range from those about
UFOs to occasional commentary about lost treasures and gold mines and a few
other esoteric topics that interest me.
