On Jan. 25, 2024, the Inspector General, Robert P. Storch, announced that the DoD OIG released an unclassified summary of a classified report titled “Evaluation of the DoD’s Actions Regarding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena” due to public interest. The most notable paragraph starts with the sentence, "The DoD OIG also found that the DoD’s lack of a comprehensive, coordinated approach to address UAP may pose a threat to military forces and national security."
Let's start with the current situation. Besides AARO, there is nothing happening that will expedite the disclosure or study of UAP within the government. Regarding AARO, their director, Sean Kirkpatrick, resigned in December, and he didn't leave happily. He departed with a bitter public letter about all the whistleblowers and insisted that there is no evidence of alien technology. However, we know that is not true.
At the end of the DoD press release, the IG made 11 recommendations: "The DoD OIG recommended that the DoD issue a policy to integrate roles, responsibilities, requirements, and coordination procedures regarding UAP into existing intelligence, counterintelligence, and force protection policies and procedures."
If you understand how the government works, you might guess what comes next. But for those who have no idea, here is a baseline of what might happen. Those recommendations will require human and technical resources. A new office/division/branch/whatever within the DoD will be created to support all the work that needs to be performed. That ultimately means asking for more money. The request is always in the millions, and it will take time. A few years in, the public will probably wonder what resulted from these millions of taxpayers' money.
One might argue, but they released a secure form that will allow military and federal employees to report on their UAP experiences. Unless you are new to the UFO story, you already know that the super-secret black government agency is already aware of what is going on because military personnel that experience a UFO phenomenon usually get visited by "men in black," and their data is confiscated quickly. For example, the USS Nimitz's TicTac radar data and video. In other words, they take all the good data and leave us with mundane data; therefore, it renders that form basically useless in terms of disclosing compelling UAP evidence.
Let's jump back to what Sean Kirkpatrick said about no evidence of alien technology. Since we know, as a fact, that this phenomenon is nonhuman, we can also deduce that there must be a super-secret black agency (or contractor) hiding all the good information not even AARO has access to. Does it make sense to spend more taxpayers' money to create another AARO but with a different name?
My blog is not about misinformation or misleading people into false hope. It is actually encouragement for the public to not depend on the government but to solve this phenomenon through our own comprehensive and coordinated approach. The good people who are currently trying to go door by door to request unclassified government UAP info should continue, but who knows when that will work. So far, all the Pentagon videos were leaked. The DoD never released a single classified photo or video.
There needs to be a multi-faceted approach to this problem. AREA-S4 is trying to create a coordinated public approach called "Citizen Guide to Extraordinary Evidence." Otherwise, we are just wasting time and money hoping for the government to reveal the UAP truth when we could have done it ourselves collaboratively.
