Disclosure Diaries Update #35
A summary of notable Disclosure updates from Apr 8-14 2024.
This past week in Disclosure:
Apr 9 – "We see consistent incursions around sensitive government facilities." - Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ)
At a hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Charles Brown was questioned on consistent "incursions on military installations."
In particular, he was questioned on why existing drone/UAS detection systems were unable to adequately deal with such incursions.
Christopher Mellon took to X to comment and provide more context on this line of questioning.
Apr 10 – “I do know from the people I trust, who have had access to some of these programs, that there are different types of non-human intelligence visiting us whose intentions we do not know.” - Retired Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet
In an interview with Liberation Times, Retired Rear Admiral Gallaudet elaborates on his concern regarding the urgent need for expanded investigations into UFO and USO (i.e. submerged) incidents.
Based on his experiences and statements from officers he trusts, he believes the NHI reality to be beyond doubt.
He stresses the importance of transparency, research and official acknowledgement to effectively address this issue.
Apr 11 – Rep. Moskowitz confirms Grusch is still unable to provide additional statements in a SCIF, and reaffirms his support for a UAP select committee
“So that's something that's been discussed previously, right? Because we've been trying to get him into a SCIF [sensitive compartmented information facility], and the reason why they were not able to do a SCIF is because, one, it won't get approved, but two, because they took his security clearance away [...] That's why we need the select committee. That's why I'm supportive of a select committee.”
Apr 12 – former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Christopher Mellon lambasts AARO's latest UAP report
Christopher Mellon took to X to share a recent article he published on the Debrief , "THE PENTAGON’S NEW UAP REPORT IS SERIOUSLY FLAWED".
As the title suggests, he methodically picks apart AARO's latest report on the UAP issue and simultaneously criticizes many media outlets for lacklustre coverage that failed to ask the critical follow-up questions.
Things to look out for in the near future:
April
- According to Senator Gillibrand – a public hearing in line with AARO's latest report can be expected soon, saying –"I'll probably have another hearing aligned with that public report.”
- As covered by Askapol – AARO will be holding a classified briefing (in a SCIF) with Members of Congress on the UAP topic. The briefing is scheduled to take place at 1PM ET on April 17th.
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. - 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
- Some commentators have speculated that the architects of the UAPDA (e.g. Sens. Schumer/Rounds et al) are working diligently behind the scenes to continue furthering serious legislative UAP transparency efforts

Want to dive deeper into the topic?
I recently started hosting longer-form conversations with relevant figures in the UAP disclosure space to go beyond the headlines and provide more context on the broader discourse. These conversations are available on YouTube and Spotify:
I've also started hosting more regular Spaces on Twitter/X, to contextualise ongoing events in real-time.
