The Select Committee on Intelligence wants public analysis of UFO reports

A significant development in the wish for more public information on UFOs from the U.S. government may be on the horizon. Senator Marco Rubio, leader of the Select Committee on Intelligence, has taken a big step towards more transparency concerning military UFO data by directing the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to produce an unclassified report on "Advanced Aerial Threats." In the third link below, you can read the report adjoined to a draft of the 2020-2021 Senate Intelligence Authorization act.

In that report, on page 11, you can read under the subtitle Advanced Aerial Threats that:
 The Committee supports the efforts of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force at the Office of Naval Intelligence to standardize the collection and reporting on unidentified aerial phenomena, any links they have to adversarial foreign governments, and the threat they pose to U.S. military assets and installations.

Senator Rubio confirms in the quote the existence of a UFO/UAP Task Force in the Pentagon, and this task force is most likely the same "inter-agency team" that Pentagon spokesperson, Susan Gough, spoke of to Swedish researcher, Roger Glassel, in May of this year (2020).

In the same report, on page 12, you can read what "the Committee" (that is, the Select Committee on Intelligence) directs the DNI to include in the unclassified report on "Advanced Aerial Threats." As you can see, if you read page 12, the unclassified report from the DNI should be quite detailed and comprehensive. As I understand it, and what the two articles below says, the report is meant to be public. 

But first, the Intelligence Authorization Act has to be adopted by the full Senate on Capitol Hill. I am far from an expert on the political system of the US, but some of the journalists who have covered this story (for example, Tom Reagan and Bryan Bender in the articles below) seems to be optimistic that the act, or bill, in question will be adopted. 

Personally, I remain somewhat cautiously optimistic. It would surprise me if no kind of pushback will take place because of the nature of the data that some military departments and/or intelligence agencies have in their possession. At the same time, it seems that the wind has changed in Congress regarding the UFO issue.




Perhaps one of the best articles on the meaning and implications of the Intelligence Authorization Act is this one in the Drive (in the WarZone section) by Joseph Trevithick. For Swedish readers, here is an article in Dagens Nyheter by journalist and UFO researcher, Clas Svahn, about the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence´s directive of a public UFO report.


Take care!
