Disclosure Diaries Update #55
A summary of notable Disclosure updates from Aug 26-Sep 1 2024.
This past week in Disclosure:
Aug 27 – A 10-month UAP study conducted off Long Island's coast produces notable findings
The study – Eye on the Sky: A UAP Research and Field Study off New York’s Long Island Coast – documented recurring luminous spheroids with extreme velocities and stationary behavior. These objects often appeared outside the visible spectrum, detectable mainly in infrared. Clearly not your typical aircraft or natural phenomena.
Key observations include:
• Luminous spheroids, 1.5-3m in diameter
• Exhibited extreme velocities and stationary periods
• Often undetectable in visible light, primarily observable in infrared (especially short-wave infrared)
Aug 27 – National Brazilian Archives releases ±900 documents reporting UFOs
The National Archives of Brazil released nearly 900 documents containing UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) reports from civilian airline pilots. According to the released material, the southern region of the country alone accounts for eight records, primarily in Rio Grande do Sul. In most cases, the reports involve more than one light or object. In at least ten instances, images of the sightings were taken, but they are not publicly available.
Aug 27 – Dr. Kirkpatrick officially severs ties with AARO as his successor is named
The DoD has confirmed to Liberation Times that the former director of the U.S. government’s Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) office - the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) - Dr Sean Kirkpatrick, has stepped down from his role as an unpaid consultant to the office (a position he held whiole the DoD searched for a suitable permanent replacement).
The news comes as the AARO confirmed Dr. Jon T. Kosloski as its new director, nine months following Dr Kirkpatrick’s departure.
Aug 28 – Ross Coulthart joins the r/aliens subreddit for an AMA (Ask Me Anything)
The r/aliens subreddit was graced with Ross Coulthart's presence, who was available to answer a variety of community questions.
Some notable Q/As:
Q: Is there any merit to the claim that in 2004 there was a blue-on-blue fire fight between a JSOC unit and a Lockheed Martin Recovery Team over UAP craft resulting in the death of two JSOC members?
Ross: Yes. [...] And that's not the only incident.
Q: Matthew Pines said a significant figure in American public life is going to come out and make a statement that will push forward disclosure. Are you aware of this and do you have any idea of who it could be?
Ross: Yes. Can't say anymore.
Sep 1 – Lue Elizondo's "Imminent" reaches #1 on the NY Times best-seller list
As of September 3rd, Lue Elizondo's new book on his background and experience delving into the UAP topic in an official capacity has reached the #1 spot on the NY Times best-seller list.
Lue has appeared on a variety of high profile news shows to promote his book and assert his claims regarding UAP. E.g. on CNN:
CNN Host: "Are you telling me that aliens are real?"
Lue: “We have something that is made by non-humans".
Things to look out for in the near future:
August/September
- 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.”
- Speaking with Askapol, Reps. Luna and Burchett indicated that the next UAP hearing is likely to come after the August recess.
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

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:
