US government legislation for 2024 might reveal “non-Earth origin or exotic UAP material”
The US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence has unanimously approved new UAP legislation for 2024 - sponsored by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, and co-sponsored by Senators John Cornyn, Michael Rounds, and Marco Rubio. This legislation has still got to pass through further stages before it is enacted into law towards the end of 2023. However, if passed, it will compel anyone currently or formerly under contract with the federal government to reveal “all non-Earth origin or exotic unidentified anomalous phenomena material” they may have in their possession. They will have to notify the director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) within 60 days of enactment and provide “a comprehensive list” of all materials possessed within 180 days. Furthermore, they will have to make any materials available for the AARO director for “assessment, analysis, and inspection”.
The legislation additionally requires the AARO director to notify designated congressional committees within 30 days of receiving any notification, information, or seeing any exotic materials.
This legislation might force any defence contractor and/or US government individual involved with an unacknowledged Special Access Program related to unidentified anomalous phenomena - if there is such hidden activity - to formally come forward.
The legislation also prohibits any future funding, direct or indirect, for any Special Access Program associated with UAP unless it has been “formally, officially, explicitly, and specifically described, explained, and justified” to Congress.
It goes further by reference to a “sense of Congress”, with the message that any illegally hidden craft of non-human origin must be brought out of the shadows - where progress to understand and replicate the exotic technology might have been shackled by excessive secrecy - to now enable better scientific and engineering analysis.
So, it appears that the screws are being tightened still further.
I studied American history 50 years ago at school here in England, which included learning about the famous “No taxation without representation” outrage by the early colonists. Individuals such as Kirsten Gillibrand and Marco Rubio are elected representatives. They can and should demand oversight of any program which is funded from taxation. “Follow the money” is a proven route for investigative journalism. Al Capone, the notorious Chicago gangster who got away with so much, was finally convicted of income tax evasion. There’s therefore good precedent for this approach.
The news of forthcoming legislation, as above, follows recent statements to the media by David Grusch - a former USAF intelligence official, who latterly worked with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. He was part of the UAP Task Force (which preceded AARO). David Grusch claims he was briefed that the US maintains a secret UFO retrieval program and is in possession of multiple spacecraft of non-human origin, including “dead pilots”.
We deliberately chose not to report David Grusch’s claims earlier this month. Whereas his professional background is undoubtedly genuine - and he appears to sincerely believe what he is saying - his claims must nevertheless be viewed with caution. People can and do fool themselves, and commonly get things wrong. Regardless of whether or not there’s any truth to what is claimed, at least some of what David Grusch has said does not make sense to us. As idle speculation will achieve nothing worthwhile, it should be for the appropriate congressional committees to investigate the matter - and this is what presumably will now happen. Kirsten Gillibrand has previously stated her intention to assess whether “rogue SAP programs” exist “that no one is providing oversight for”.

December 2023 UPDATE: Unfortunately, a few politicians interfered and watered down the above-mentioned planned legislation.
