“THEY’RE NOT GOING TO HIDE IT”

THOSE WERE THE recent words of Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), arguably one of the most influential politicians within the United States political system across 2022. As a member of the Democratic Party, she served as member of the United States House of Representatives from 2007 to 2009 before becoming Senator for New York. And whilst you might wonder how or why such a prestigious politician has any correlation or interest to the issue of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), Gillibrand is without doubt the most vocal on the issue of UAP transparency and accountability. Particularly when it comes to holding the United States Department of Defense (DoD) to account. After all, it was her legislative language in the National Defense Authorisation Act for 2022 which forced the Pentagon to create legislation for a UAP program – the All-domain Anomalies Resolution Office (AARO).

Senator Gillibrand sits on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) alongside Republican Senator Marco Rubio and fellow Democrat Mark Warner – who have also pushed the issue and have released their own statements on UAP.

Quite amazingly, Congress are considering the very real thought that UAP may be a non-human intelligence, and wish to focus the investigations on objects which aren’t ‘man-made.’

With NASA and Congress now invested in uncovering the mystery of UAP, it comes as no surprise to see Kirsten Gillibrand give a out purposeful statements of intent. Although these weren’t given to the mainstream media - who as per usual refuse to pick up this issue - but instead to Osvaldo, an enthusiastic UAP activist who engaged the New York Senator this week. He got the Senator on record.

“So, we're supposed to, I'm supposed to get a report in the next, I think, month or two. They briefed our staff but it wasn't very significant, not a lot of information. They're building the (AARO) office right now & they understand what the mission is. So I met the guy who is in charge (Dr. Sean M. Kirkpatrick - of the AARO office)...he understands he's supposed to work with the private sector...all the people who have all the data and information. He's also asked to go back and look at all of the archival data. He's not been able to get access to it. As you can imagine, it's probably siloed in all sorts of places. And so, his job is to try to get access to all of it. And if he can't, I said, 'Just go forward. If u can't get the historic stuff, get what's in the private sector, like FAA data, correlate it, and investigate all the other things that are current, and just create a-state-of-the-art office. And he is committed and taking it seriously. They're not gonna hide it. Because there are so many of us now on the intel committee and armed services, that we're gonna stand by the service-members who documented this stuff. They have video! They have radar! They have heat sensors! They have everything!…they have it! So, I'm not gonna let it go, I'm 100% committed”. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), (August 2022).

Despite the Congressional engagement, not everyone in the United States government is as enthusiastic about transparency. There are still questions surrounding the intentions of Ronald Moultire – the head of the DoD’s Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence (OUSDI) - and his reluctance to engage UAP transparency. Given that OUSDI played down the importance of UAP at the Congressional hearing in May, Moultrie’s long term endurance to this issue should be brought into question. Without the push from Congressional oversight committees, there would be no self-regulation from the Pentagon, no accountability or acceptance that UAP pose a potential threat to national security. DoD still have to prove to the American people that they can be trusted with this issue. And as for the United States Airforce, it may just be a case of ‘the less said the better’ as they engage a negligent policy of zero accountability.

The progress occurred because of a bipartisan effort in Congress and the willingness of Senators such as Kirsten Gillibrand to engage her constituents. In her own words, the SSCI won’t allow them to ‘hide it’ when referring to UAP. However, this doesn’t mean they won’t continue to try to obfuscate the truth, as they apparently have done for decades.

In the words of Christopher Mellon in response to what should be asked of Senator Gillibrand, ‘…ask her when they will put the USAF (Airforce) on the carpet to just get some straight answers!’.

Maybe we need more hearings to force them to follow the law and do what the people have voted for?

We wonder how far the Senator will go?
