The quotes directly from Kirkpatrick within the article show he’s making contradicting statements
"In an exclusive interview, a top official denied evidence of alien spacecraft. "
“A number of these [whistleblowers] believe and have stated – and we believe them now”
Kirkpatrick has shown zero reason to be trusted, the same thing goes for AARO.
I honestly think Congress realized that they were being stonewalled by Kirkpatrick, as his testimony at previous hearings did not match what Congress had been hearing in secret testimony dating back at least a year.
It’s all come to a head now, and Congress is absolutely at war with the Pentagon. I have zero doubt about it.
I’ve noticed that there are a few communities that tend to dominate when viewing all. Some days it gets to where looking at all isn’t very different than just looking at Memes@lemmy.ml or 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone....
I guess it is a consequence of the Reddit migration where the habit is just keeping the old community name. But having C/Politics being US only on Lemmy.world, an instance that aims to be international (hence the name), seems weird to me....
They used the word disclosure 79 times in this document. It being proposed by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is significant, he’s already said “I am honored to carry on the legacy of my mentor and dear friend Harry Reid and fight for the transparency that the public has long demanded surrounding these unexplained phenomena.”
I think this is the big one, especially when there’s language like this in the amendment
All Federal Government records concerning unidentified anomalous phenomena should carry a presumption of immediate disclosure and all records should be eventually disclosed to enable the public to become fully informed about the history of the Federal Government’s knowledge and involvement surrounding unidentified anomalous phenomena.
(4) Legislation is necessary because credible evidence and testimony indicates that Federal Government unidentified anomalous phenomena records exist that have not been declassified or subject to mandatory declassification review as set forth in Executive Order 13526 (50 U.S.C. 3161 note; relating to classified national security information) due in part to exemptions under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.), as well as an over-broad interpretation of “transclassified foreign nuclear information”, which is also exempt from mandatory declassification, thereby preventing public disclosure under existing provisions of law.

Especially considering Marco Rubio, who is a Republican and much more likely to appear on Fox News, is part of the Gang of 8. Don’t just throw away the information because of the source, verify, and check everything if you think something is invalid.
Compartmentalization is definitely an effective tool to keeping programs secret, especially Special Access Programs. Plus it’s been decades of this information coming out and the US government covering it up.
Space X is a legitimately good company. You can hate Elon all you want, Space X does some awesome shit. Rockets that land and are reusable, plus the advantage of completely getting rid of the US’s reliance on Russia.

Congressman has grim take after access to UFO footage: 'We can't handle it' | Fox News (www.foxnews.com)
Not a fan of Faux News personally, but they certainly have a large audience so this is good to see.
Sen. Marco Rubio on Hannity says that the UFO whistleblowers are credible people and if true, it's "the biggest story in human history." (twitter.com)
