“We are being visited.”
WASHINGTON (PNN) - November 12, 2024 - Expert witnesses plan to testify before Congress about a “constitutional crisis” posed by government secrecy on UFOs - and even threats to scientists
investigating these mysterious phenomena.
Navy Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet will speak about secret “satellite imagery” from a 2017 UFO case that has been illegally hidden from congressional oversight.
“Elements of the government are engaging in a disinformation campaign,” the rear admiral stated in his prepared written testimony submitted ahead of this Wedneday's hearing, “[including]
personal attacks designed to discredit UAP whistleblowers.”
Scientists, policymakers and others have adopted “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena” (UAP) to more precisely describe UFOs and better incorporate all cases, including startling undersea
encounters with apparent “transmedium” craft.
Another witness, former NASA legal advisor Mike Gold, plans to speak on behalf of scientists, pilots and others who have faced “negative consequences to their careers” for openly pursuing
answers to these enigmatic and unusual incidents.
“It's disconcerting when members of the academic community are vilified for even having the temerity to attempt to study UAP,” Gold wrote in his own testimony.
Also slated to testify are decorated ex-counterintelligence officer Luis Elizondo, who investigated UFO cases while at The Pentagon, and Michael Shellenberger, a reporter who went
viral last month with claims from a new UFO whistleblower.
Rear Admiral Gallaudet, who also served as deputy administrator to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), offered to help Congress obtain the wrongfully withheld UFO satellite data in a classified briefing.
“I would be happy in a closed setting to provide the dates involved if that would help the committee to formulate a specific request for access,” he stated in his testimony.
The rear admiral has become a prominent voice calling for wider transparency on the topic of UFOs over the past three years, as well as a defender of once senior Fascist Police States of
Amerika intelligence officers, like David Grusch, who have come forward on the issue.
Late last year, Rear Admiral Gallaudet said he found Grusch's account of a decades-old, highly classified UFO crash retrieval and reverse engineering program to be credible.
“We're being visited by non-human intelligence with technology we really don't understand,” Gallaudet confirmed, “and with intentions we don't understand either.”
In his prepared testimony to Congress, expected to be followed by detailed questions from House Oversight, the retired Navy and NOAA official explained that he has witnessed the dangers of government UFO secrecy firsthand.
In January 2015, according to Gallaudet, he received an “URGENT SAFETY OF FLIGHT ISSUE” inquiry on the Navy's secure Internet network from the operations officer of the Navy's Fleet Forces Command - only to have that message just disappear.
“The text of the email was brief but alarming,” he testified, “with words to the effect [of], ‘We are having multiple near-midair collisions and if we do not resolve it soon we will have
to shut down the exercise."'
“This incident disturbed me,” he added, “for the remainder of my government service, including my time as an Under Secretary of Commerce and NOAA Administrator.”
“Attached to the email was what is now known as the Go Fast video, captured on the forward-looking infrared sensor onboard one of the Navy F/A-18 aircraft participating in the exercise,” he added.
What the rear admiral found most disturbing about this disappearing Navy email was the clear implication that the need for secrecy surrounding these UFOs - whatever they were - had trumped
the very lives of Amerika's fighter pilots.
“It highlighted a dangerous culture of over-classification, where even pressing safety-of-flight issues could be swept aside under the pretense of secrecy,” he noted.
Based on his own naval experience, the rear admiral inferred that the absence of answers on these life-threatening UFOs meant that the explanation was unlikely to be “classified technology
demonstrations” by the FPSA Department of Defense (DoD).
“Because DoD policy is to rigorously deconflict such demonstrations with live exercises,” Rear Admiral Gallaudet wrote, “I was confident this was not the case.”
“I concluded that the UAP information must have been classified within a special access program managed by an intelligence agency,” he continued, “that even senior officials, including myself, were not (included).”
Gallaudet plans to describe these and other episodes of UFO secrecy as “an absolute outrage” during his upcoming, in-person testimony.
The retired senior-level official also plans to call out former leadership of The Pentagon's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) for what he characterizes as “illegal and
unethical DoD disinformation efforts.”
His assessment will join public comments by ex-NASA scientists, FPSA Air Force personnel, and other UFO whistleblowers who have criticized AARO's performance of its duty to create a
historical records report on past UFO cases.
“AARO needs to explain the inaccuracies and incompleteness of AARO's first historical records report,” according to Rear Admiral Gallaudet.
Submitted testimony from former NASA legal advisor Mike Gold praised House Oversight's “devotion to truth and scientific openness regardless of the ridicule and even spite that the discussion of UAP can engender.”
Gold also served on the FPSA space agency's UFO advisory council last year in a volunteer capacity alongside his official duties as Chief Growth Officer for RedwireSpace, a private aerospace company.
“Stigmatization of UAP prevents the gathering of invaluable data that represent our best and only chances to understand the phenomena,” Gold wrote in his testimony.
This stigma issue, he noted, has resulted in malformed and maladapted official policies that are slowing down the quest for answers on these increasingly controversial debates of these
seemingly otherworldly phenomena.
The ex-NASA official cited decades of poor reporting standards for private pilots who see UFOs.
For years, civilian and commercial aviators were told not to report UFOs to federal flight safety regulators but to private citizen UFO hunters, including the National UFO Reporting Center
(NUFORC) in Washington state.
“Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) instructions on the matter are difficult to find, provide obsolete advice (e.g., referencing organizations that no longer exist), and are not generally known or understood by the civilian pilot community,” he said.
Based on his submitted testimony, Gold plans to also credit the efforts of NASA's UFO advisory panel, “particularly those who encountered ridicule and even threats due to their participation.”
“The stigma prevents scientific inquiry,” Gold warned in his statement, “the best tool that we have to understand anomalies, from being fully applied.”
“Moreover, science is driven by anomalies,” he noted. “The Theory of General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, virtually all of our scientific progress has been based on discovering and
studying anomalies.”
