Disclosure Diaries Update #42

Japanese lawmakers convened to create a nonpartisan group that will ask the government to establish an organization for investigating unidentified aerial phenomena.

The group will hold its founding general meeting on June 6 after Tuesday's preparatory meeting, which was held in parliament.

While he confirmed that, to date, no sightings of UFOs had been officially confirmed – Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi, emphasised the need to remain vigilant for UFOs going forward:

"As the security environment around Japan becomes increasingly severe, we recognize the need to take all possible measures to respond to safety-related events, including those involving unidentified objects. We will work closely with other countries to steadily collect and analyze information and take all possible measures to respond."

In this episode – Gallaudet discusses his background as a Navy Admiral and Oceanographer, and elaborates his views on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, with specific emphasis on submerged/ocean-based phenomena.

Congressman Robert Garcia took to X to explain the three UAP-related amendments he submitted to be considered for the 2025 NDAA drafting process:

"My first amendment creates a UAP reporting mechanism for civilian pilots. My second amendment includes UAP disclosure provisions from last year [Schumer-Rounds UAPDA] that were blocked, including a UAP Records Review Board. My final amendment ensures AARO has access to covert intel for investigations."

According to their website:

"The UAP Disclosure Fund is a nonpartisan political nonprofit 501(c)(4) that advocates for greater government transparency regarding unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). We work to support new UAP legislation, provide legal representation for whistleblowers, promote scientific research and raise public awareness in an effort to better address the UAP issue."

• 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.”

• Lue Elizondo has indicated his much-awaited book will be published in August 2024. Elizondo was the former director of the now defunct Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) – a program associated with the release of the Pentagon UFO videos.

• 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
