An unprecedented event is about to occur in our
lifetime, one that has the potential to level reset the very soul of
America, and to redefine the trust relationship everyday Americans have
with their institutions of Government. On December 23, 2022, President
Joseph Biden signed into law H.R. 7776, the “James M. Inhofe National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023”.

Among its many provisions:
Not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of the
Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, the Secretary of
Defense, in coordination with the Director of National Intelligence, shall
establish an office within a component of the Office of the Secretary of
Defense, or within a joint organization of the Department of Defense and
the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, to carry out the
duties of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, as in effect on
December 26, 2021, and such other duties as are required by this section,
including those pertaining to unidentified anomalous phenomena.
The office established … shall be known as the ‘All-domain Anomaly
Resolution Office’.
In addition to its primary duty of investigating unidentified anomalous
phenomena (UAP), the office also is tasked with preparing reports for
Congress, in both classified and unclassified form, including a historical
record report, as follows:
Not later than 540 days after the date of the enactment of the
Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023, the Director of the
Office shall submit to the congressional defense committees, the
congressional intelligence committees, and congressional leadership a
written report detailing the historical record of the United States
Government relating to unidentified anomalous phenomena, including: (i)
the records and documents of the intelligence community; (ii) oral history
interviews; (iii) open source analysis; (iv) interviews of current and
former Government officials; (v) classified and unclassified national
archives including any records any third party obtained pursuant to
section 552 of title 5, United States Code; and (vi) such other relevant
historical sources as the Director of the Office considers appropriate.
The report shall (i) focus on the period beginning on January 1, 1945,
and ending on the date on which the Director of the Office completes
activities under this subsection; and (ii) include a compilation and
itemization of the key historical record of the involvement of the
intelligence community with unidentified anomalous phenomena,
including:
(I) any program or activity that was protected by restricted access
that has not been explicitly and clearly reported to Congress; (II)
successful or unsuccessful efforts to identify and track unidentified
anomalous phenomena; and (III) any efforts to obfuscate, manipulate
public opinion, hide, or otherwise provide incorrect unclassified or
classified information about unidentified anomalous phenomena or related
activities.
The Archivist of the United States shall make available to the Office
such information maintained by the National Archives and Records
Administration, including classified information, as the Director of the
Office considers necessary.
Essentially, one of the Office’s first tasks is compiling a historical record
stretching back some 77 years of intelligence community history to document
the IC’s involvement with unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP). This
includes all restricted access programs that Congress was not privy to.
You can be assured that if Congress was not made aware of these programs –
neither were you, or I, or anyone else in the public for that matter. Don’t
expect this report to be a re-hash of known government/military/civilian led
UAP investigations like Project Sign/Grudge/Saucer/Twinkle/Blue Book or the
Condon Report, etc. Those are known publicly. What is being sought after here
are those programs that have been collecting dust at very high classification
levels in various intel agency vaults, restricted on a need-to-know basis that
did not include Senators and Congressmen/Congresswomen.
More importantly, it specifically calls out for a historical accounting of any
intelligence agency’s complicity in abusing the UAP subject for information
warfare purposes (obfuscate, manipulate public opinion, hide, or otherwise
provide incorrect unclassified or classified information about unidentified
anomalous phenomena or related activities). This is unprecedented, as
Pandora’s Box will be flung wide open on the UAP topic that has spawned a
thousand conspiracy theories and that has greatly contributed to the erosion
of citizen trust in the institutions of Government.
But why all the way back to January 1, 1945? Although the UAP believer
community and sensationalist media are already trying to point to an
unsubstantiated 1945 UAP crash as the reason for this earlier date, there is a
much more mundane and far more plausible explanation, one that already has a
set precedent.
The last great soul cleansing of the Intelligence community was the 1975-76
Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect
to Intelligence Activities also known as the Church Committee whose mandate
was to investigate “the extent, if any, to which illegal, improper, or
unethical activities were engaged in by any agency of the Federal Government.”
The Church committee decided that most of its hearings would be held in
closed, executive session, to protect intelligence sources and methods. The
committee held a series of public hearings in September and October of 1975 to
educate the American public about the “unlawful or improper conduct” of the
intelligence community, highlighting a few carefully selected cases of
misconduct.
For 16 months the Church Committee labored away, creating various internal
reports, the most well-known of these, the CIA’s so-called “Family Jewels,”
which outlined the agency’s misdeeds dating back to President Dwight
Eisenhower’s administration. This report, as well as those found in other
agencies, provided road maps that staff investigators used to piece together
complicated histories of domestic, foreign, and military intelligence programs
during the Cold War era. Even with a peak staff of 150, however, organizing
and analyzing these materials proved to be an arduous task.
After holding 126 full committee meetings, 40 subcommittee hearings,
interviewing some 800 witnesses in public and closed sessions, and combing
through 110,000 documents, the committee published its final report on April
29, 1976. Investigators determined that, beginning with President Franklin
Roosevelt’s administration and continuing through the early 1970s,
“intelligence excesses, at home and abroad,” were not the “product of any
single party, administration, or man,” but had developed as America rose to a
become a superpower during a global Cold War.
It was the Cold War – the life and death struggle between the United States
and the Soviet Union – that gave life and unfounded rationale to the abuses
uncovered by the Church Committee. However, UAPs were not part of that
historical accounting as they were not on the radar of Church Committee
investigators. It stands to reason that any abuse of the UAP topic for
information warfare purposes since 1945 would have as its backdrop, the Cold
War.
The inception of the Cold War can be traced to the unraveling of the uneasy
alliance between the United States and the Soviet Union soon after the
defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945.
This is the most likely reason for dating the historical report to January 1,
1945. If the United States inadvertently created a myth making machine in its
cold war tit for tat with the Soviet Union, those secrets must be revealed.
The 1945 date presents some interesting challenges, as what was considered the
intelligence community then differs dramatically from the IC of today. From
1945 till mid-1947, the IC was made up of leftover remnants of the Office of
Strategic Services (OSS), the Special Services Unit (SSU), the Central
Intelligence Group (CIG) and other intel components of the War Department
(Army and Army Air Force) and the Department of the Navy (Naval Forces and
Marines) and the Department of State. There was no Secretary of Defense and no
US Air Force at that time.
For those in the UFO believer community who believe this historical report
will provide the long-waited Disclosure - the US Government’s mea culpa
confession to covering up proof of contact with non-human intelligence or
physical proof in the form of recovered biological or physical evidence of
non-human intelligence, I would like to taper your expectations.
In the X-File episode: “Jose Chung's From Outer Space”, FBI Agents Mulder and
Scully investigate the alien abduction of a Klass County, Washington teenage
couple. When returning from a date one evening, the teenagers’ car suddenly
stops; they see a UFO and are then captured by a pair of gray aliens. However,
the gray aliens are themselves captured by another UFO with a giant third
alien from another race.
Fast forward later in the episode where the captured gray aliens are unmasked
as two US Air Force personnel in disguise. This fictional episode explains
perfectly why this 77-year historical report is so crucial to getting to the
truth of UAPs. Unless we unequivocally know what the human hand has been in
creating and promoting UAP noise (the Air Force personnel in gray alien
disguise), we will never be able to focus on the true signal (the giant third
real alien).
When the flying saucer craze of the summer of 1947 made headlines all over the
world, and the military and civilian leaderships failed to provide an adequate
accounting for what the citizenry was witnessing, the vacuum of silence was
filled with speculation, innuendo, rumor, hyperbole, and fantasy – all
ultimately just noise.
Throughout the decades since, it is that same noise that has reigned supreme,
promulgated by amateur UFO organizations, and brought to mass consciousness by
science fiction fantasy movies/TV and sensationalist journalism. Today that
noise is amplified to even greater levels by social media and cable TV shows –
the focus on the sensational and the outlandish – standards of evidence be
damned. As the noise levels grow, so does the average citizen’s distrust in
the Government’s ability to inform its citizenry the truth. Conspiracy takes
hold. The hidden hand is not to be trusted. One conspiracy begets a thousand
more.
Further exacerbating the UAP noise sphere are the unscrupulous click baiter
social media posters who have a greater love affair with the number of views
and likes they receive than they do with finding and promoting truth. Amateur
UFO organizations like MUFON are noise collectors. The average citizen is a
noise consumer. Sandwiched in between are the noise creators, the cable
channels being the worse offenders. Ancient Aliens is noise,
The Secrets of Skinwalker Ranch is noise.
Social media is not far behind, with baseless UAP assertions with zero real
evidence to back it up being posted around the clock – Facebook is noise,
#UFOTwitter is noise. Noise perpetuators are those that have no interest in
UAP truth – they only care about making the rounds of the UAP talk circuit or
their next talking head gig on some UAP TV special. A UAP perpetuator has no
interest in lessening the UAP noise but instead amplifying it. They have zero
interest in finding a true signal.
A clue as to whether this historical report is a sincere effort or just a
whitewashing expedition will be to examine the framework on which the report
is built. If the focus is on UAP noise, for example, hauling in witnesses to
talk about alleged UAP intrusions at missile silos or dogfights with UAPs over
military ranges, or alleged crashed UAPs, then the historical report will come
up short. If the report attempts to address just the noise sphere of WW2 foo
fighters, Roswell, MJ-12, Nazi UAPs in Antarctica, underground alien bases,
reverse engineered alien technology, alien abductions, secret alien exchange
programs, etc. the report won’t be worth the paper it is printed on.
The other clue will come from those whose testimony is collected. If the
parade of witnesses includes UAP noise creators and noise perpetuators, then
ultimately what will be produced is a report that accounts for the UAP noise
sphere but does not accurately reflect the historical record. If the collected
testimony is from the usual suspects, like Mellon, Elizondo, and Puthoff, who
have one foot in the UAP community and one foot in the intelligence community,
or the UAP gatekeepers who funnel “leaked UAP footage” to the mass media like
Knapp or Corbell, or the faux UAP historians like Richard Dolan or the faux
UAP journalists like Linda Moulton Howe or Leslie Kean, their testimony as
printed in the historical report will also not be worth the paper it is
printed on.
If instead, the focus is to recruit cold war, intelligence, and military
historians along with sociologists and conspiracy theory experts who can
jointly create an investigative framework based on intelligence community
precedence, Cold War existential triggers and adversarial fears, and the
realpolitik for which the 20th century was known, then this historical report
may be the catalyst for citizen trust reset that America so desperately needs.
A glimmer of hope may be found in Sec. 6413 of the same 2023 NDAA , where a
Historical Advisory Panel of the Central Intelligence Agency is being formed
to assist in conducting declassification reviews and providing other
assistance with respect to matters of historical interest. Perhaps it will be
just this panel that will take on the arduous task of determining the CIA’s
(and predecessor organizations like the CIG) role in UAP information warfare
and provide the agency’s response to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution
Office’s historical report.
Even then, special attention will have to be paid to records that may not even
be considered traditional intelligence agency records but must still be
preserved. For example, if a defense contractor while developing the latest
class of stealth fighter, cloaks the project with UAP obfuscation for
counterintelligence purposes, will those records be included in this
historical accounting?
In the Arthurian legend of the Fisher King, the Knight Parsifal is invited to
the wounded King’s castle in a kingdom that lays desolate and bare. That
night, Parsifal witnesses a strange parade of characters baring holy objects
from one room to the next, including the holy grail itself. The Fisher King’s
wound could be healed if Parsifal simply asks: “Who does the Grail serve?”
But, Parsifal fails to ask the question and when he wakes the next morning,
everyone is gone and the castle is overgrown with thorns.
The Holy Grail of UAP truth is separating what is signal and what is noise,
and more specifically, what was our government’s own role in creating,
promoting, and amplifying UAP noise. Only by knowing the obfuscation efforts
it was/is actively involved in, and and throwing out that noise, can we focus
on the true signal, if one exists. Only by asking the question, who does the
UAP Grail serve, and having our wounded Fisher King – our own government –
truthfully answer – can our land begin to heal.
So here we find ourselves at a crossroad that has consequences for the
survival of the United States as a Democracy. Will those who have been tasked
with this enormous responsibility do the right thing, and provide the American
people what they have demanded for all these years – the plain, simple, and
unvarnished UAP truth? Will a complete and accurate UAP historical record
finally allow us to separate the signal from the noise? Will the creators of
this historical report ask the right question: “Who does the UAP grail serve?”
Or will the squander this once in a lifetime opportunity and leave us in a
desolate and bare wasteland of ignorance, mistrust, and conspiracy – one that
has grave consequences for us all and for future generations to come? The
Great UAP Reckoning is coming – and may God help us all.
