Disclosure Diaries Update #44

Several UAP-related amendments brought forth by Rep. Garcia in late May have been blocked by House Republican leadership, according to a public post from Rep. Garcia:

"My 3 UAP amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act have been blocked from being considered by House Republican leadership. We must continue to fight for transparency and take seriously national security concerns and the public interest. We will continue pushing."

According to the Hill contributor Marik von Renninkampf, a Senate source confided the following:

“Most [whistleblowers who informed UAP legislation] are completely unknown to the public.”

“Individuals known publicly had been advocating for years and wouldn’t have been enough to move the needle.”

“Lots of questions about motivations once public.”

Appearing on a recent episode of Impaulsive, Trump had the following to say on UAP:

"I’ve met with pilots like beautiful Tom Cruise, but taller, okay, handsome, perfect people. “Sir, there was something there that was round in form and going like four times faster than my super jet fighter plane.” And I look at these guys and they really mean it. And am I a believer? No, I probably, I can't say I am. But I have met with people that are serious people that say there's some really strange things that they see flying around out there"

Speaking with Askapol, Reps. Luna and Burchett indicated that the next UAP hearing is likely to come after the August recess. This tracks with comments from Sen. Gillibrand, who recently said the following:

"I’m hoping July, and if not then September. But I’m trying to do July.”

• According to Senator Gillibrand – a public hearing in line with AARO's latest report can be expected soon, saying –"I’m hoping July, and if not then September. But I’m trying to do July.”

• 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
