Disclosure Diaries Update #60

James Fox, a director who released a well-regarded UFO-related documentary in 2020 called "the Phenomenon", has published the trailer for his upcoming follow-up – titled "the Program".

Fox also appeared on a long-form podcast episode with Jesse Michels, where they explored the topic (and Fox's extensive background) in great detail.

The DoD newly released 101 pages of UAP-related documents, primarily consisting of back and forth emails about the establishment of the UAP Task Force in accordance with the FY2020 NDAA.

According to a deep-dive from Douglas Dean Johnson, BMI enlisted lobbying efforts related to "H.R. 8512/S. 4443, Intelligence Authorization Act, 2025 - Title X, all provisions related to microelectronics and device cyber protection."

This particular Title relates to the UAP language in the IAA.

Batelle is an international science and technology enterprise, with 3,200 employees, and manages another 29,500 employees in ten United States Department of Energy National Laboratories.

Via Askapol, Rep. Tim Burchett had the following to say:

Askapol: “What do you want to hear in November?”

Burchett: “Disclosure. Full disclosure. 

He also clarified the importance of remaining tight-lipped about the list of witnesses for now:

"We're trying to get some good witnesses there. We don't want to break them out too early like we did last time and then they get squashed.”

Speaking with Askapol, Rep. Eric Burlison indicated:

“Okay, now that I know [that the hearing is happening], I'm going to give them a name. Cause I have had somebody leak a name to me...of somebody that would basically, like — knows a lot.”

• 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.” This has more recently been confirmed to be happening in November.
• Speaking with Askapol, Reps. Luna and Burchett indicated that the next UAP hearing is likely to come after the August recess. More recently, this UAP hearing has been penciled in for November 13th.

• 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
