I find this sentence intriguing.
No one on earth has any information that isn't already known, with the exception of government methods for acquiring the data which is what you usually see blacked out of documents. Disclosure is just a poor bs effort and will never happen.
So you believe no one has answers other than governmental sources? Yet you don't support FOIA watchdogs who want to track down further information? Is this just because you don't think they'll find anything? As far as I am concerned disclosure has already happened. The majority of documents are in the public domain. The main question in my mind is now what do we do?
I'm 74 and I'm fortunate to have had a few solid sightings so UFOs are real for me.
Sounds like a long life, well lived. Have you posted your story here on ATS? I would be curious to read it.
Thank you for sharing your experienced point of view,
FS
I do not accept any claims, especially by the unexperienced conspiracists, that our government or any government knew anything about UFOs and their possible occupants.
...
"Disclosure" is just an attempt to coax the government to reveal what conspiracists think exist connected with secrect information about UFOs and aliens...
The conference on ET life you mention at the top of your post was part of a week long series of talks/debates. There was a live stream on ATS at the time. It had nothing to do with the UN and was a philosophical debate - no assertions were made that ET life is known.
Please don't think this is criticism, it's not, I applaud your work, it's just the 'UN has a first contact ambassador' angle was a media invention and like so many others, it just clouds the facts.

It's good to see a thread in this forum with so much content and so many links. S&F
I'm not sure that political ufology or disclosure advocates represent a 'growing movement.' From a historical perspective, it's possible their day has been and gone and the 'movement' is now more of a fractured collection of groups and proponents without any actual consensus.

I agree. I don't really see any growth to this movement. In fact, it's pretty stagnant.

Are there any political initiatives, legal actions, and/or future lobbying efforts that people feel go unexpressed in the OP?
Do people feel the primary 'movement' surrounding UFOs is to press for disclosure? Is there even a movement at this point? Or do those of you on ATS, feel Stephen Bassett's Paradigm Research Group (PRG) and Greer's Disclosure initiative have finally been cut off at the knees?
What other sources talk about this topic in relation to space policy?
