I could be wrong, but I don't believe Speaker McCarthy will offer much resistance to this request. What are your thoughts?

While the provided list is more of an example than anything, I have the impression there is countless historical records of possible sightings - From ancient descriptions of legendary flying fire chariots to paintings containing objects surprisingly similar to modern descriptions of UFO's.

We know people describe unknown events with the best words they have. Modern examples can be when firescene investigations get testimonies that "The fire jumped from seat to seat". Does fire even have legs to jump with? I would not be surprised if ancient stories about "wheels within wheels" or "Flying chariots of fire" could be describing events they simply didn't have words for.

With all of the stories that could be interpreted as ancient stories of UFO's, even if just a small percentage of the are real - It would mean the UFO phenomenon have interacted with earth for at least thousands of years.

What is your thoughts on this, anything to it? Do you have different estimates? Do you think the phenomena started in 1947? Is it all just a pop-cultural mediaindustrial hoax complex?

Personally, I am noticing a change, albeit measured, in the coverage and seriousness given to this topic.

Bill Nelson, the Director of NASA, recently made an announcement while in Argentina. He stated that a report on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, which was prepared by a group of scientists from NASA, is scheduled to be released next month.

RECORD SUBMISSION AND PUBLIC ACCESS


After transmission to the Archives, non-postponed records will be available to the public…

  • Physically (at the National Archives) Within 30 days
  • Digitally via the National Archives online database within 180 days

Precedence will be given to:

  • Records not already in the public domain
  • Records that clearly and unambiguously relate to UAP
  • Records that are the subject of litigation under section 552 of Title 5, United States Code
  • Earliest/most historical records

Postponement of Disclosure for Specific Records:

Every record must be fully disclosed after 25 years from the date of submission UNLESS the President signs off on a longer postponement for that specific record because disclosure would cause an “identifiable harm” that outweighs the public interest in disclosure

Must provide an unclassified written description for the reason for continued postponement of a record

*Must provide “clear and convincing evidence” that disclosure of a particular record would… *

  • Present a threat of such gravity to military, defense, or foreign relations, that it outweighs the public interest in disclosure
  • Compromise the identity of an intelligence agent requiring protection
  • Give away an important intelligence source or method that is currently used, or is reasonably expected to be used in the future by the Government for “intelligence activities”
  • Impair the national security of the United States
  • Reveal the identity of a living informant to the Government who would be at risk if their identity was known
  • “reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, and that invasion of privacy is so substantial that it outweighs the public interest”
  • Compromise a confidentiality agreement between a government agent and a cooperating individual or foreign government to such a harmful degree that it outweighs the public interest

In cases where the Review Board approves postponement it is urged to work with the originating source of the record to provide for the disclosure of “segregable parts, substitutes, or summaries”

“Public Interest” is defined as:

“The compelling interest in the prompt public disclosure of unidentified anomalous phenomena records for historical and Governmental purposes and for the purpose of fully informing the people of the United States about the history of the Federal Government’s knowledge and involvement surrounding unidentified anomalous phenomena.”
