Since 2017 the movement pressing for government disclosure of UAP documents has picked up avalanche force. It is now crashing down on the U.S. Congress. It is also now widely recognized and accepted that scientists should have access to as much data as possible to conduct research on anomalous aerial reports. Resistance to disclosure is frequently justified by government claims that disclosure would put national security in jeopardy. Most scientific researchers accept this. Yet, some voices seem to scream for disclosure even if the wall of national security gets breached. Is this a good idea? There may be good arguments to support disclosure only to the extent that national security remains protected. Against UAP Disclosure? No. But national security deserves security.
The UAP Transparency Act of 2024 give scientific ufologists hope that government revelations will tell us the truth about Unidentified Flying Objects. But, if national security documents remain Top Secret, can we trust those which get declassified? Will the UAP Transparency Act really give us disclosure?
Are UFOs Our Celestial Saviors? The experience of sighting a UAP or being abducted by aliens intermix with fictional portrayals. The classic 1951 movie, "The Day the Earth Stood Still," affected the UFO culture for decades. Of particular significance is the alien message to Earth: stop testing nuclear weapons and work for world peace! Are UFOs Our Celestial Saviors?
No! No! UFO. That's what the U.S. Senate said to scientists clamoring for passage of the UAP Disclosure Act. But, take heart. Secretly, we know or at least hope that the Pentagon has become omnipotent by harnessing the more advanced technology reverse engineered from crashed alien spacecraft. No! No! UFO saId the US Senate.
