Disclosure Diaries Update #75
A summary of notable Disclosure updates from Jan 13-19 2025.
This past week in Disclosure:
Jan 14 – Select Committee on UAP is shot down by the Speaker's office
According to Rep. Burlison:
“They turned down [the idea of] giving us a Select [UAP] Committee. I've heard that they may…allow a task force, which is basically a neutered committee.”
Jan 16 – UAP topic still on the radar for House Intel Committee
Speaking to Askapol, Rep. Timmons says the House Intel Committee is going to be investigating the UAP topic more fervently.
"[The UAP issue] is becoming increasingly front and center, so I think Intel‘s gonna have to get involved. I think most of the members on the Committee have been generally unimpressed with the responses that we've gotten. I think the Intelligence Committee will start looking into it more, because how do you not? I mean, you know, the increased frequency and degree of sightings has created a lot of buzz.”
Jan 18 - UAP Crash Retrieval Whistleblower Jake Barber goes public on NewsNation
Appearing on NewsNation with Ross Coulthart, Jake Barber alleged that he was contracted as a helicopter pilot to retrieve all kinds of downed craft, some of which he believes are of nonhuman origin.
In the piece, he recounts two types of NHI-origin craft that he was involved in recovering: an egg shaped craft, and an 8-sided craft referred to as an "8-gon". A retrieval of the latter type allegedly induced a spiritual experience for Barber during the recovery operation.
NewsNation also aired a short clip purportedly showing the recovery (or rather, the drop-off) of an egg-shaped craft. This clip was not attributed to Jake Barber.
Barber also claims that UAP Crash Retrieval teams involve the use of 'psionics' to summon and assist in downing NHI craft.
His claims were backed up by 3 other (seemingly) decorated and otherwise credible operators and veterans.
While many of his claims are certainly paradigm-shifting if true, there is scant physical evidence published (as of today) that corroborates his account.
Things to look out for in the near future:
Beyond / unknown
- Following the UAP hearing on the 26th of July, Members of Congress have called for a select committee with subpoena authority, to “go about the task of collecting information from the Pentagon and elsewhere” on unidentified flying objects. There have been conflicting messages from various Members of Congress on whether this is likely to happen anytime soon.
Note – a select subcommittee was formally requested on March 13th. Rep. Burlison reiterated a desire to establish such a committee on Nov 13 2024. - Reps. Moskowitz, Luna, and Burchett have repeatedly stated their intent to hold field hearings to overcome stonewalling from the Pentagon and military establishment
"I think we [Congress] should try to get into one of these places [housing UAP evidence]...and if they won't let us in I think we should have a field hearing right outside the building...and the military will have to explain why that is." – Rep. Moskowitz (D)
It is currently unknown when exactly we might expect that to occur, however as of Jan 12 – Rep. Luna confirmed: "I feel confident that we have enough evidence to move forward with our first field hearing. @mattgaetz @JaredEMoskowitz @timburchett . We will be announcing details soon." - Several journalists have indicated that first-hand witnesses of the alleged UAP legacy programs are in the process of providing testimony/evidence to the relevant authorities (e.g. the IC IG) and/or are on the verge of making public statements in the near future (Example 1, example 2, example 3, example 4)
- David Grusch has received additional clearances through DOPSR to discuss some of his (alleged) first-hand knowledge of Legacy programs. He has mentioned he may be covering more of this information in an upcoming Op-Ed
