"Reality Should Not be Classified."
As bipartisan support builds in Congress for UAP Disclosure; the Pentagon releases Tranche 3 from its UAP Files.
In my view, flying saucers and UAP are among the most important matters facing humanity today. What these phenomena are, what they are for, and what intelligence created them and directed them toward our world and into our lives are just a few of the important questions they raise and we face.
Rhetorically, if not specifically, the phenomenon asks those who have wondered about cosmology and UAP to consider: Why does the universe exist? and What is our purpose here as thinking creatures?
In searching for the truth behind the phenomenon, we may discover the answers also have to do with the very nature of our universe and the true purpose of intelligent life it holds. The issue also holds important insight into the possible future or futures of humanity, including whether the United States continues as a democratic republic or devolves into a chaotic place ruled by a tyrant or despotic plutocracy.
Events over the past week give me real optimism for analyzing the issues and discovering new information. And if we do not learn the answers, I have few complaints. In the process of studying the phenomenon, we will also learn a great deal more about our universe and our place in it.
On Tuesday, June 9, 2026, members of the United States House of Representatives, stood with a group often labeled “the UFO whistleblowers” in an official press briefing in Washington, D.C. Their aim was to “bring the issue of UFOs to the steps of the US Capitol.”
The bipartisan group of officials, known informally as members of the UAP Caucus, want to declassify information on anomalous phenomena in order to inform the US public about UAP, including UFOs. The representatives invited current and former government employees, civilian and military, with knowledge of the phenomenon to come forward and share what they know.
A number of the UFO whistleblowers have reported threats of violence and other forms of harassment for reporting improprieties to Congress or the Administration. The Congress members said those with information would be welcome to share what they know in confidence. with no strings attached, and with immunity from prosecution for violations of secrecy oaths and non-disclosure agreements.
C-SPAN (Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network) covered the “Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets” event and shares its video record. The program lasted about one-half of an hour. Click here for the C-SPAN video.
Appeal for Public Awareness and Action
The group included Congressmembers Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., Eric Burlison, R-Mo., Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., and Scott Perry, R-Pa. In addition to Grusch, the whistleblowers at the event included Mr. Jeffrey Nuccetelli, a former USAF airman, both of whom testified before Congress in 2023. Journalists present included accomplished documentary filmmaker James Fox and pioneering investigative reporter and author Leslie Kean, both experts in the UAP field.
“Knowledge of Non-Human Intelligence belongs to all humanity,” said Ms. Kean, who co-authored a groundbreaking 2017 New York Times article on UFOs and government programs studying the phenomenon.
“Reality should not be classified,” Mr. Fox said. He asked President Donald Trump to declassify and release UAP records, in particular those regarding the recovery of a living entity associated with a UFO, allegedly recovered in Varginha, Brazil in 1996.
David Grusch is a former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer and decorated combat veteran who made headlines around the world when he testified before Congress in 2023. Grusch in 2022 had reported to the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) to express his concern that classified information on UAP was being illegally withheld from Congress.
Mr. Grothman:
Mr. Grusch, in your complaint to the
intelligence community Inspector General, you claim that you
believe information is being hidden. What kind of information
do you think was hidden and do you think it should remain
hidden?
Mr. Grusch:
Yes, I can speak to that very briefly in an
unclassified manner. As you know, the preponderance of my
complaint was classified to the intelligence communities. Both
material acquisition and exploitation activity, also baselining
the UAPs but not sharing it with, you know, intelligence
professionals that are actually doing step briefs to pilots,
that kind of information.
In addition to revealing some of his own role in top secret programs investigating UAP and UFOs, he reported the US Government is running secret off-the-books and largely privatized programs on UAP. Among these, he testified, were efforts to recover evidently non-human entities, “Biologics,” and their vehicles. Click here to read Grusch’s testimony, and that of other experts to Congress.
Each Representative called for “Disclosure,” opening up for public review the US Government’s UFO files, an historical record that goes back more than 80 years. Those present indicated the matter of UAP is of vital importance for the nation, in terms of national security and air safety, as well as for its social, military and economic implications.
But wait! There’s more from Uncle Sam…
On Friday, June 12, 2026, the Pentagon (the Department of War or the Department of Defense) released its third tranche of UFO-related documents. As in its two previous releases, there was no “Smoking Gun” document, video or photograph that proved conclusively that UAP come from another planet or reality, but they do add new and important data, as well as a number of previously incomplete historic records, that We the People can study.
The image above and its detail at the top of the page are stills taken from an interesting video contained in Tranche 2, on page 5, the file labeled “DOW-UAP-PR097, Hi-Res: [CALLSIGN] Observes UAP on 25SEP19 at 2135Z.” The image appears very briefly for a fraction of a second right at or near the :54 second mark. Most of remaining video seems to be far-off views that resolve the interesting objects as one or two lights close to each other.
To visit the site, click here. Once on the Pentagon page, please scroll down to the tabs marked Release 01, Release 02 and Release 03. Each tab has several pages of individual files.
Between you and me, I think these UAP releases and bringing the UFO question to the steps of the Capitol represent the tip of the tip of the tip of the weirdest iceberg ever. I will detail what I learn over the coming weeks.
Most importantly: Please write and share what you learn. Information that changes our understanding of reality and our place in the cosmos is too important to be kept Top Secret.
