History is made as the UAP legislation is passed into law
In a truly historic moment, President Joe Biden has passed into law Senator Kirsten Gillibrand’s National Defense Authorisation Act (NDAA) proposal amendment for fiscal year 2022. For the very first time in history a world government has tasked its defence apparatus with establishing a formal UAP office and a ‘Rapid Response Team’ who will be appointed with investigating ‘transmedium technology’.
Initially, the congressional records showed that the Gillibrand-Rubio amendment was proposed as the ‘Anomaly Surveillance and Resolution Office’ (ASRO), then updated to the ‘Anomaly Surveillance and Tracking Resolution Office’ (ASTRO), unfortunately the final congressional appointed name of such a UAP office was not put into the final bill.
With the passing of the legislation, the requirement will go much further beyond the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (USDI) efforts. Following the amendment proposal they quickly proposed their own acronym version – the ‘Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group’ (AOIMSG). The USDI established AOIMSG was predicted by most UAP analysts to be a last-ditch reactionary effort to the ‘Rubio-Gillibrand amendment’ which was heavily loaded with psychological efforts to dilute. Having the opportunity to create their own version of ‘ASTRO’ for at least four years, the USDI seemingly waited to jump before they were pushed, much to the frustration of congressman Tim Burchett.
As stated by Press Secretary John Kirby to Journalist Travis Tritten in a December press conference, the USDI established ‘group’ is more about improving procedures and policy on reporting than an ‘office’, however when reminded politely by Tritten that legislation is about to be passed (which calls for an ‘office’ and a robust effort into UAP), Kirby stated the focus will be on identifying objects alongside as well as those which had been observed but not identified. Also, keep in mind Kirby wasn’t referring to the congressional proposed investigation which at the time hadn’t been passed into law, he was referring to their own version, AOIMSG. Now that the legislation is passed into law it remains to be seen if AOIMSG will fulfil the demands of the United States Congress, or whether they will attempt to obfuscate UAP transparency and downplay the anomalous nature of ‘transmedium’ technology.
As stated within the final bill, ‘transmedium devices or objects’ are observed to transition between space and the atmosphere and/or bodies of water which are not easily identifiable.
In summer this year, film maker Jeremy Corbell released leaked footage of a ‘transmedium’ object, also known as the Omaha Sphere, from the USS Omaha which is reportedly classed as such. The case was confirmed as authentic by the Pentagon and the case was used in classified briefings
This move results from the recommendations of an unclassified UAP report which was presented to Congress through the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) back in June 2021. This UAP report changed everything with regard to how the anomalous phenomena was investigated at the highest level. An analysis of that Preliminary Assessment found of the 144 UAP cases investigated, 143 could not be explained, with a staggering 80 of them involving data obtained from multiple sensors. The investigative body at the time that was directly involved with the report, the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF), recommended further investigation within its official conclusions to Congress.
“The report submitted today highlights the challenges associated with assessing UAP occurring on or near DOD training ranges and installations. The report also identified the need to make improvements in processes, policies, technologies, and training to improve our ability to understand UAP. To that end, Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks today directed the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security to develop a plan to formalize the mission currently performed by the UAPTF.” - John Kirby, Press Secretary
Seemingly, the report itself was never about disclosing ‘extra-terrestrials’ to the American people, nor would it given the apparent lack of data. The report was always about creating a sustainable platform and something to propel us forward with legislation. Consideration of the UAP report recommendations, taken from the soon to be disbanded and replaced UAPTF, have allowed secure, legal precedent for legislators to enable the ‘Rubio-Gillibrand amendment’ with bi-partisan support. The initial amendment proposal which was reported on by UAP Media UK, (with thanks to researcher Douglas Dean Johnson who uncovered the Congressional proposal), was interestingly the first piece of open “UAP legislation” to be enacted within the United States Government since the formation of the UAPTF. Prior to that we must go back to the “Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Application Program” (AAWSAP) in 2007 and its smaller, more military encounter focused program, known as the “Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program” (AATIP) – which was headed by Luis Elizondo.
With the Preliminary Assessment used as justification, Senator Gillibrand was able to address the lack of oversight issue that has plagued this subject for over seventy years. Giving an interview to Politico, she explained that UAP is something that should be taken seriously:
“If it is technology possessed by adversaries or any other entity, we need to know,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) said in her first interview about the effort. “Burying our heads in the sand is neither a strategy nor an acceptable approach.” - Politico
In accordance with the NDAA amendment, is now to be based across the Department of Defense (DoD) and will liaise with various agencies to address this pressing issue and report back to congress annually with an unclassified report similar to the one in June, 2021. The other organisations on the original amendment proposal have been dropped which has surprised UAP analysts with equal measure: the Galileo Project and the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies now are cut from the legalisation.
In recent weeks the UAP war drum has once again been beating with prominent figures such as NASA administrator Bill Nelson making reference to the extreme manoeuvrability of UAP and that they have no idea who these vehicles belong to. Additionally, the Director of National Intelligence, Avril Haines, used the word “extra-terrestrially” as a potential avenue for investigation with relation to UAP. Haines, speaking at the “Our Future in Space” forum in Washington D. C. recently, made reference to June 2021’s UAP Preliminary Assessment and again made emphasis to technology which wasn’t understood.
“And that's something that you know, frankly, probably also doesn't surprise you in the sense that that's how we typically approach our intelligence work, and the main issues that Congress and others have been concerned about are basically safety of flight concerns, encounter intelligence issues, but of course, there's always the question of, is there something else that we simply do not understand that might come extra-terrestrial, extra-terrestrially?” – Avril Haines, US Director of National Intelligence
With the bill passed into law, we can only hope that this new UAP office is not “stone-walled” as appeared to be the case with the UAPTF, and that vital information is not withheld from them – only time will tell whether they will be the effective tool that everyone hopes for in the latest efforts towards UAP transparency and accountability. With so many high ranking officials now briefed on the UAP issue and the potential significance for humanity, the question becomes, how long can any one government agency or organisation continue to successfully avoid the issue?
“Just a few years ago, conversations like this would been relegated to sci-fi conventions and fringe conspiracies and yet here we are. Finally recognizing we are at the intersection of science and technology and a path that leads to only one conclusion...DISCLOSURE” — LUIS ELIZONDO TO UAP MEDIA UK
Additionally, eyes are now firmly on the U.K. (after declining to investigate UAP) and the question will be asked once again if they intend to create a mechanism dedicated to understanding and resolving UAP technology. It remains to be seen, but they will be challenged by UAPMediaUK and others who have some interesting things on the horizon.
With the amendment passed into law, one thing is for certain - the United States Government are officially investigating a decades old issue which seemingly started during the birth of the American nuclear age. Maybe it’s only right that it is America that leads the charge and forces global discloses after the closure of Project Blue Book in 1969. Maybe, just maybe, the world can now prepare itself for the news that we might not be alone, whatever that means.
