The UAPTF has 11 reports of documented instances in which pilots reported near misses with a UAP
This report provides an overview for policymakers of the challenges associated with characterizing the potential threat posed by UAP while also providing a means to develop relevant processes, policies, technologies, and training for the U.S. military and other U.S. Government (USG) personnel if and when they encounter UAP, so as to enhance the Intelligence Community’s (IC) ability to understand the threat. The Director, UAPTF, is the accountable official for ensuring the timely collection and consolidation of data on UAP. The dataset described in this report is currently limited primarily to U.S. Government reporting of incidents occurring from November 2004 to March 2021. Data continues to be collected and analyzed.

So, in this era of Congressional exposure so far, they seem to ignore the past UFO information from the gov.
Now, is that because they want to avoid it because it conflicts with what they now want to peddle?
Or do they want to avoid the shameful past this gov. did regarding UFOS?
As a journalist, my interest in UFO secrecy began in 1987. In the years since then, I have written hundreds of UFO-related news stories and series....
In 1989, I started hearing seemingly-outlandish tidbits regarding crashed saucers, strange materials, and reverse engineering programs being carried out in secrecy in the Nevada desert by intelligence operatives and defence contractors. The first person I told about this outside our newsroom - was U.S. Senator Harry Reid...he helped me obtain information that I might otherwise be unable to access on my own. That private conversation with Reid proved to be pivotal... and is directly related to the current explosion of public Interest In the UFO/UAP controversy, including the inquiries now underway in both houses of Congress.
The other person I met in 1989 related to the UFO mystery was a billionaire businessman named Robert Bigelow, who... began funding private UFO investigations as well the work of UFO organizations UFO.
... In 1996, Bigelow created his own research organization, the National Institute for Discovery Science... After NIDS began its own investigations and projects, | informed Senator Reid about the organization and arranged an introduction...The connection that was made between Reid and Bigelow proved to be fortuitous in many ways, and is directly related to the inquiry you have launched 27 years later.
One of the topics that was of interest to Reid, Bigelow, and NIDS was Russia's ongoing interest
In UFOs. In 1993, there was a brief window of opportunity in the former USSR. ... It took 8 months to arrange an itinerary and to obtain a formal invitation to visit Moscow. In the spring of that year... we learned, Russian leaders commissioned an unprecedented UFO investigation....
The study lasted a full ten years..in three incidents, the Russian warplanes were dibbled and crashed. Two of the pilots were killed. After those incidents, the MOD issued a nationwide order that UFOs should be left alone...
Upon my return from Moscow, I shared much of this information with NIDS, with Senator Reid, and with a senior staff members for the Senate Intelligence Committees. The Russian MOD had confirmed to me that they were studying UFO cases in the hope that they might understand and eventually duplicate the technology that had allowed the UFO pilots to so thoroughly dominate Russian airspace and weapons systems.
The information made a lasting impression on Senator Reid and others and became a key factor in a secretive program that was launched a few years later...an unknown, unacknowledged UFO study dubbed AATIP....
That news piece led to a new wave of media interest in UFOs, prompted private inquiries to Sen. Reid from his former colleagues in Congress, and was largely responsible for the creation by Congress of the UAP Task Force, which later morphed into AARO, the current UFO program approved by Congress.
The NY Times report was accurate on many levels. AATIP as real. Lue Elizondo was the man in charge of it. And it was an investigation of UFO encounters involving US military personnel. But some parts of the story were dead wrong. The $22 million secured by Reid did not fund AATIP. .... The original program was dubbed AAWSAP the Advanced Weapons System Application program. The man who initiated and managed the program for DIA was.. Dr. James Lacatski. The contract for AAWSAP was awarded to a subsidiary of Bigelow Aerospace, owned by Robert Bigelow. And the focus of the study was much broader than the military-only encounters investigated by AATIP. Years after the Times story, the public and members of Congress still have not learned much about AAWSAP. It was likely the largest UFO study ever conducted with the use of government funds...At one point, it employed 50 full time investigators, far more than Project Blue Book or the UAP Task Force, or AARO,
The team compiled what might be the largest and most sophisticated UFO data warehouse aver created, with more than 200,000 cases catalogued. ...an astonishing effort that also produced more than 100 highly detailed research papers, many of them more than 100 pages long. The very first case investigated by AAWSAP was the Tic Tac incident from 2004. An initial report was compiled by DIA personnel, then shared with AAWSAP. A much larger 140-page report, packed with detailed analysis of the Tic Tac and its capabilities, was written by AAWSAP scientists and engineers.
Neither Congress nor the public has ever seen the Tic Tac report or any of the other 100-plus research papers. One of the things that led to the demise of AAWSAP was the pursuit of certain exotic materials....
AAWSAP managers believe these materials were collected from sites where unknown aircraft had crashed. When Dr. Lacatski bagan pressing the issue, seeking access to the exotic materials, he was met with harsh rebukes. ... powerful interests began to apply pressure to end AAWSAP. It lasted a mere 27 months before the plug was pulled, instead of a five-year operation as planned...
AAWSAP investigated a wider range of phenomena than mystery craft seen in the sky. Some of the encounters reported by intelligence operatives were downright weird, AAWSAP personnel suspected that the sighting of weird creatures and bizarre phenomena in the proximity of UFO activity might be some sort of unintentional side effect of a technology that is seemingly beyond anything we currently possess....
Had AAWSAP: been allowed to continue, our country might have some answers by now. It is my honour to bring this information forward to Congress and to clarify some of the misinformation that has been widely circulated. After AAWSAP ended, AATIP was created from its ashes. Lue Elizondo was able to keep the investigation going for a few years, until his frustration with a lack of interest on the part of DOD higher ups became too much to bear.
His exposure of the existence of AATIP was a major factor in the eventual creation of the UAP Task Force and later, of AARO. The world still has very limited understanding of the important work done for DIA in AAWSAP. The public has seen very little of the excellent work done by the Bigelow team. Hopefully Congress can start asking questions about these and other
investigations undertaken into these perplexing issues. We have a right to know.

I would have trusted him enough to let him watch my dog for me when I went on vacation. It's only when his lips start moving that I stop trusting him.

Hi folks....yes its me Celltypspecific... I remember when you all laughed 3 years ago.
You did not TRUST BIG LUE....
That you both have more announcements about forthcoming announcements that something is going to happen someday? Enough with the announcements about announcements, someone show us the "non-human biologic" or something more interesting than what looks like industrial slag that DeLonge's TTSA paid $35,000 for. Whatever happened to the CRADA with the US Army you made such a big whoop about anyway, did the army reverse engineer some cool stuff from the fragment of the alien spaceship...or, was it industrial slag?
I guess BIG LUE and I were right after all

At the first glance it looks to me like they intend to use their access to politicians and DoD staff to influence them towards awarding contracts to companies like ASA.
...After spending decades studying the UAP phenomenon I have found myself in a privileged position of being trusted. How have I achieved this? By being trustworthy in my work.
Either the U.S. government has mounted an extraordinary, decades-long coverup of UFO retrieval and reverse-engineering activities, or elements of the defense and intelligence establishment are engaging in a staggeringly brazen psychological disinformation campaign....
Importantly, a third explanation for recent events — that dozens of high-level, highly-cleared officials have come to believe enduring UFO myths, rumors and speculation as fact — appears increasingly unlikely.

I heard his curiosity set off the metal detectors before he went into the hearings.
Do remember Jeremy first coming on the scene being really obnoxious to Stanton Friedman (on stage) - can't find the vid but let's just say everyone thought he was a complete dick. Does anyone know that video?
Corbell is so hilarious a funny chap.
