Leslie Kean & Ryan Graves
1981 case in Kean's book - portholes noticed
size of a grapefruit at arm's length, so, big
"Bending of the atmosphere"
Dr. Haines 100 cases report
Graves - 747 pilot, South Africa, Johannesburg
case #1 - black triangle, huge, TV-set sized, 500ft away
(500ft is range that fighters engage in combat)
case #2 - orb outpaced one of the fighters in a dogfight
Legislation to collect reports & radar data and funnel to aviation safety mechanism and a publicly accessible NASA database
Low Earth Orbit is becoming increasingly crowded, we should try to track UAP in space
National Geographic Documentary season 2 has new footage of a UFO from a commercial pilot
2006 O'hare Airport investigation:
First they said it was lights reflecting off the clouds, but the lights hadn't been turned on
Then they said it was a hole punch cloud, but the weather was too warm that day for that weather phenomenon to form
Dr. Tim Gallaudet
Passive Low Frequency Active (LFA) sonar capable of detecting the specific enemy submarine, not just the class, it's that good
But it wasn't able to figure out what was detected off the coast of Japan in 1990 and 1991
Southern California UAPs are so commonplace that they no longer phase sailors
Karl Nell & Lue Elizondo drafted UAPDA
Path forward: Start at the White House > Create a Council > Council develops a Strategy/Plan > Draft Policy > Write Legislation
We need a "Whole of Government" approach -- This is what the UAPTF had!
Jay Stratton was given a DNI award (UAPTF given National Intelligence Meritorious Unit Citation)
Jonathan Berte, Sol Foundation, European Union
Eric Davis & Kirk McConnell (!)
[5tinger's note: my favorite]
McConnell only left government in February 2024. He started digging into UAP after the 2017 NYT article
Eric Davis did Physics, brushed up against AAWSAP. Eric Davis applied to be Bigelow's physicist at NIDS.
Aerospace physics and astrophysics. He went to Skinwalker Ranch, worked at Air Force Research Labs (AFRL)
AFRL Advanced Research Concepts division, AFRL Crash Retrieval (C/R) & Reverse Engineering (RE) programs
Hal Puthoff, Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin, EarthTech International, The Aerospace Corporation
then space, fission power, defense (this was basically Eric Davis listing his work history and background)
McConnell convinced Senators that there was something to UAP secrecy, had a very small UAP staff
had Peter Skafish and Garry Nolan come in and do a consultation
Congressional members became interested after 2017 NYT article
they made legislation (think NDAA amendments that led to UAPTF)
in hindsight, AARO didn't turn out the way they wanted
Eric Davis briefing vehicle of unknown origin DIA's AAWSAP, later AATIP, EarthTech science advisors
UAPTF & Jay Stratton, Davis gave briefing to McConnell & staff in SCIF
gave briefing on C/R, RE program, to SASC staff, set up by Jay Stratton, McConnell was previously on SSCI
Chris Mellon set up for Davis to give briefing a few days later to SSCI in a SCIF--what was said:
Crash Retrieval & Reverse Engineering, craft of unknown origin, not of the Earth, they were under control of Non-Human Intelligence (!)
People known and not known pulicly came via McConnell and gave briefings to Senators, Rubio(?) said:
"Either clearances are being given to loonies or the government isn't telling all that it knows when it comes to non-human intelligence."
McConnell: If there were crashes, the government would have recovered them, and if recovered, they would have tried to find out how they worked.
McConnell: Government would also have tried to come up with prosaic explanations but simultaneously seriously looked into it
Davis collected evidece of CR/RE program from everyone from officials to aerospace executives in classified & proprietary environments
there's a "there" there based on "breadcrumbs, pieces of bread, and entire loaves of bread." (his words)
Davis had a letter from Jim Lacatski that deputized him to go in and ask questions at the various locations of the CR/RE program
McConnell had a witness come to him who was physically shaking -- "enough of these instances changes your mind"
Both Davis & McConnell have gone to Congress.
Davis has interfaced with a ton of people in the [legacy] program
President has plenary access to National Security Information & access to classified information
Congress may say Executive Branch has to Disclose, but the President has a legal argument that would permit withholding [that information]
PEADs - Presidential Emergency Action Documents
Prevent Congressional oversight since Eisenhower, have never been leaked outside of the Executive Branch, not subject to FOIA
tied up in contracts with membres of the Defense Intelligence Industry, sole source contracts [only one contractor], uncompeted
SAPs, uSAPs, waived uSAPs
There have been Presidents who have been briefed, but some are considered not trustworthy enough to be briefed:
Nixon, Reagan, Kennedy, Eisenhower all briefed
Clinton NO.
Bush Jr, a little bit.
No President fully briefed, only partially, on a need-to-know basis.
Carter was briefed.
Jay Stratton & colleagues did brief Trump but on UAP problem not C/R program.
It's been pretty clear from people like Jim Lacatski, and generals (3 & 4-star), program people, aerospace executives, Presidents, these are of non-human origin.
Davis has seen photos.
Davis says there have never been ARVs becaus ewe can't figure out how they work.
Jim Lacatski's book describes craft with no power source detectable.
Rep. Yoshiharu Asakawa
Japanese UAP Caucus
Christopher Mellon addressed Japanese Government [5tinger's note: is there video of this?]
National Diet of Japan, Committee on Security
Politicians have a taboo on UAP
Asakawa-san is in the Japanese Innovation Party, and pointed to the US taking UAP seriously
[Defense Minister?] General is now head of UAP Caucus of Japan
When General was asked about them, he said there was no knowledge that had come to his level
There is video with subtitiles on Yoshiharu's YouTube
He specifically asked "Please Google Asakawa Yoshiharu" [5tinger's note: tried to locate this]
There are 90 members in the Japanese UAP Caucus, the purpose of which is to create an organization to study UAP.
Asakawa-san took on UAP as a political issue because his job is to anticipate the unexpected [like earthquakes]
He references the US Operation Tomodachi [which was to provide humanitarian aid after the 2011 Tohoku earthquake]
There have been UFOs over Fukushima frequently since the nuclear accident
Asakawa-san watched the US Congresionall hearings on Japanese video-streaming site Niko-Niko-Doba
Yohei Watani beat him in the election, but he has been asked to still lead the UAP Caucus
Dr. Tsumeta, head of the National Observatory of Japan
Japanese astronomers have begun study of UAP
Cameras automatically remove noise, but by looking at the original images it might reveal lights
The Japanese astronomy effort is secret from the bureaucracy
Japan has taken the lead from the US re: AARO
Asakawa-san has soggested that Japan's DARPA share info on gravity control
NHI will change humankind on many levels.
Asakawa-san wants to make a Japanese partner or equivalent of the Sol Foundation
Asakawa-san saw a UFO when he was a teenager!
He liked astronomy.
He studied the Japan Airlines case [JAL 1628]
Leslie Kean & Peter Skafish
Sol has goals with Policy and Academia, relationship with truth, hard & soft sciences
Disclosure is not a Hollywood-esque Presidential speech, but a gradual process
Peter Skafish wrote a whitepaper on secrecy.
Ontology -- in anthropology, interested in how people have different ontologies, indigenous Amazon, Chinese medicine.
In the Amazon, nothing is just a "thing," everything is consciousness
There are lots of selves, everything is alive, everything is subjective, everyithing is consciousness
Think about not physical objects but the noetic interactions with these supersubjects, the relationship between NHI and ourselves
Inferences about objects, portholes, doors, landing gear were common during the Cold War.
Summer 1952 DC flyover, in November of that year was the first H-bomb test
We need to listen to & trust experiencers
Dr. Alexander Wendt
International Relations
UAP and Security of Humans
Talk title: "The Last Humans: UFOs & National Security"
International Relations perspective of assuming the worst "threat"
Term: Securitization
Wend's book takes up where the Pentagon 2021 report ends
ETI is a threat, we could have an immune response, result in state collapse
Threat has to do with security of the mind, sometimes called ontological security
connection to a way of life, it's mental
NHI are a threat to anthropocentrism and by way of that the state.
We are alone, sovereign, and the measure of all value.
The Social Contract--the people obey the state's law in exchange for protection from internal and external threats.
This creates legitimacy & state cohesion.
UAP are an Ontological Sec...
