"We may be faced with another problem on this front that will be interesting for people like ourselves to navigate ... there was recently an article in the Washington Post ... that ONI and DoD are scheduled to brief congress about the wealth of data the government has on UFOs. Stuff was leaked purposely during this last year, and got surprisingly little attention.

But the rumors that I've heard ... but perhaps soon to be confirmed, our intelligence services and DoD are going to tell Congress that this is real. It's not that UFOs have been explained to the satisfaction of the government.

On the contrary, they have seen that there is technology that really can't be of human origin. They don't think that this is the Chinese or the North Koreans or some other part of human society producing technology that is strange, and they can't write it off as anomalies of perception. There's just too much radar data, there's too much satelittte imagery at this point, and the stuff they're sitting on that's Top Secret is much better than anything that's been leaked out ... Someone reached out to me, and has assured me that I'm going to be on a Zoom call with former heads of the CIA on ONI and people whose bona fides are easy to track, and they're concerned about the messaging of this to the public and dampening down panic and conspiracies.

But what has been promised here is a disclosure that is frankly either the most alarming or interesting thing in the world depending on how you take it, but it's not a representation of the facts that will give scientific skeptics any comfort. We're faced with the prospect of having to apologize to the people we've been laughing at for 50 years who have been abducted or their cattle have been anally probed, pick your punchline."
