DNI NOMINEE "NOT AWARE" President Trump has nominated Walter "Jay" Clayton as Director of National Intelligence. In written responses to Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD), Clayton said he is unaware of what steps the ODNI has taken regarding "UAP transparency" or with whom ODNI coordinates at the EOP on UAP.

On 6-29-26 Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) sought approval from the House Rules Committee to offer a version of the "UAP Disclosure Act" as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA, H.R. 8800), but his proposal was not on the list of 312 amendments later made in order by the committee.

MALMGREN “MISSING SCIENTIST” MYTH-MAKING At a Capitol Hill forum 6-25-26, economist Pippa Malmgren said she thinks “a whole bunch of our most important scientists” in the US and China have disappeared. I don't know about China, but with respect to the US, her words were extravagant nonsense. A 🧵

1) David Grusch, 5-5-26: "When I went public in June 2023, the Dept of the Air Force filed an unauthorized disclosure Espionage Act complaint against me." Pentagon to Rep. Burchett, 11-1-23: "At no point did anyone from the Air Force file a complaint with IOD [Intelligence Oversight Directorate]."

BURLISON PROPOSES UAP REVIEW BOARD A 🧵 1) Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) on 6-18-26 filed at the House Rules Committee a 65-page proposal to establish a review board empowered to locate UAP records and materials, a possible amendment to the FY 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (H.R. 8800).

In an interview 5-5-26, former intel officer David Grusch, now a UAP policy advisor to Rep. Eric Burlison, said he'd prefer not to be "on the public stage." But, "I promise I'll write a book after this is all over. It'll be my leadership meditations...I'll do a media tour or something like that."

OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE (ODNI) REVEALS NEW "UAP GOVERNANCE BOARD" A 🧵 In response to my query, an ODNI official today (6-16-26) gave me the statement below, confirming the establishment of an interagency "UAP Governance Board" by ODNI, the FBI, and the "Department of War."

David J. Rush, former SES in CIA's Directorate of Science & Technology, was arrested w/$40 million+ in gold bars. The FBI affidavit is an amazing read, describing morphing and blatant background falsifications, undetected when the CIA hired him circa 2009. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

EX-AARO OFFICIAL MIKE WASCHULL PROVIDES DETAILS ON "45-MINUTE" KIRKPATRICK-GALLAUDET MEETING; DENIES GALLAUDET WAS SEEKING JOB AT AARO A 🧵 In recent weeks, there have been sharply divergent public statements by retired rear admiral Tim Gallaudet and former AARO director Sean Kirkpatrick...

FAKE 1) The document below was posted by many X accounts today. It was part of initial DoD UFO dump, then deleted. There are several highly incongruent elements that indicate forgery. VADM P.F. Carter did not become director of the Joint Staff until July 1, 1985, but the memo is dated May 28, 1985.

KIRKPATRICK & PHILLIPS DISPUTE GALLAUDET Tim Gallaudet says "the first time I have ever seen or spoken to [ex-AARO Director] Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick was on April 9, 2026," but Kirkpatrick says Gallaudet met with him about 2023, interested in working for AARO, and deputy Tim Phillips says he was there.

11) My comments on all this: A white paper titled "The UAP Body Count: A Case-by-Case Analysis," by Mick West (April 16, 2026), linked in two replies down, distills documented information on each of the ten persons discussed in the articles cited by the lawmakers.

New from ace researcher Signals Intelligence: Proof Bob Lazar lied to George Knapp in 1989, claiming to have graduated from high school in Calif. at age 15 (in 1974). Actual graduation in NY, Aug 1976, age 17. Why this lie? Likely to fit Lazar's false claims to have earned 3 college degrees by 1985.

COMER-BURLISON SEEK INFO BASED ON "UNCONFIRMED PUBLIC REPORTING" OF 10 MISSING/DEAD A 🧵 Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chair of the House Oversight Committee, and Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO), a subcommittee chair, today (April 20, 2026) sent letters to heads of four federal agencies, seeking information

It is very good that Rebecca Watson tapped into the extensive research on Bob Lazar's real-world history conducted by investigative journalist Signals Intelligence. It is a rich lode. I drew on it and other sources 3 years ago for a long thread on X, adding documents & video. x.com/ddeanjohnson...

MISTAKEN IDENTITY A 🧵 1) Investigator "Signals Intelligence" dismantles a claim by fans of the Bob Lazar tall tales: "At first blush, research by [Richard] Geldreich seemed to offer evidence that the man whom Bob Lazar said was his supervisor [on alien project] at S4 was the Dennis John Mariani

It is very good that Rebecca Watson gives credit here to years of work by investigative journalist "Signals Intelligence," whose posts on Medium and X extensively document the real-world history of Bob Lazar--scientist-impersonator, felon, and creator of ever-morphing tall tales of alien technology.

"These 1950s plans were all bomber-based: human beings, at every step...would need to carry out this horror, this atrocity...if you have, indeed, failed at your mission of deterrence...what moral shelter can one take, as one sets into motion the largest act of civilian slaughter in human history?"

BOBBING BOB LAZAR In 1997, Bob Lazar said, "There were 9 [alien craft] in all [in a secret program]...3 had been taken apart for investigation, one was damaged, one had crashed only in August 1981, and the rest were intact." But on other occasions, disparate stories. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2avF...

KIRKPATRICK COMMENTS ON LUNA'S REQUEST FOR 46 UAP VIDEOS A 🧵 I asked former AARO Director Sean Kirkpatrick some questions about Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's 3-31-26 letter to Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth, requesting 46 specific UAP-related videos. Kirkpatrick's complete verbatim response appears below.

LUNA LETTER TO HEGSETH REQUESTS UAP VIDEOS 1) U.S. House Oversight Committee release, April 1, 2026, says Federal Secrets Task Force Chairwoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) sent a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth requesting a series of specific video files related to UAP sightings.

1) I asked former AARO Director Sean Kirkpatrick about recent essays regarding the USAF fake-alien "Yankee Blue" program, published by @realrossgarber.bsky.social on February 24 and February 27, 2026, both of which I have re-posted on this account, and both of which I sent to Dr. Kirkpatrick. A 🧵

Members of Congress found out about a classified UFO program by reading the New York Times. That was 2017. I’ve examined what nearly a decade of hearings and legislation actually produced. Spoiler: not much. Or worse. open.substack.com/pub/garberfi...

Hillary Clinton, Feb. 26, 2026: "This [UFOs] is an issue of real importance to so many people. I think whatever can be disclosed should be disclosed....John Podesta, who was one of my advisors, was deeply interested in the issue. If I had been elected, I certainly would have listened to his advice."

Presented here FYI: Pentagon spox Kingsley Wilson (2-27-26): "[AARO] is working in close coordination with the White House and across federal agencies...to facilitate the expeditious release of never-before seen UAP information...We welcome the President's initiative to supercharge these efforts..."

"In a recent nuclear war game at King’s College London, many leading language models including versions of ChatGPT, Claude and Google’s Gemini all quickly favored launching warheads. That could influence a human’s decision to fire, said Paul Dean [at the] Nuclear Threat Initiative." t.co/5k5wxe0car

Garber: "The brilliance of these operations is that they’re self-sustaining and nearly impossible to disprove.... The system was designed so that genuine disclosures, disinformation operations, whistleblower testimony, and damage control would all look the same from the outside."

Timothy Phillips was deputy director of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) from Oct. 2023 to July 2025. I sent Ross Garber’s Feb. 24, 2026 Substack article, “The Pentagon’s UFO Psyop,” to Phillips, with some questions. Below, Phillips' response. @realrossgarber.bsky.social

Ross Garber poses some pointed questions on Pentagon's "Yankee Blue": "What exactly happened? Who authorized it? Who was deceived--just military officers? Or Congress, civilian leadership, and the president, too? How much of our national security apparatus has been operating on false information?"

My advance-ordered copy of Prof. Wellerstein's new book about President Truman and the bomb arrived today. His RESTRICTED DATA: THE HISTORY OF NUCLEAR SECRECY IN THE UNITED STATES (2021) combined exhaustive research with pellucid writing; I am looking forward to enjoying more of the same here.

A group of astrophysicists (which does not include Avi Loeb) says they have found evidence of unidentified aerial phenomena in old photographic plates dating back to before the time of the first satellites. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Gt-...

CONGRESSIONAL UAP UPDATE: On Oct 9, 2025 the Senate passed its version of the National Defense Authorization Act (S. 2296), advancing it to conference with the House of Representatives. The Senate-passed NDAA contains several UAP-related provisions, but not the Schumer-Rounds UAP Disclosure Act. A 🧵

On June 15, 2022, "investigative reporter" George Knapp said he believed a federal program described by Bob Lazar (holding 9 intact alien craft!) still exists, but he thought it had been moved from "Area 51"--perhaps to Utah or Australia! Will lawmakers press him for evidence at 9-9-25 hearing? 🤔

The U.S. House of Representatives Oversight Committee has posted links to written statements by 5 witnesses slated to testify at a Sept. 9, 2025 UAP hearing before its Secrets Task Force. I post the names and links here without comment for informational purposes. oversight.house.gov/hearing/rest...

This UFO piece by Matthew Hutson is low-key in tone, but one or another of his observations will likely to offend nearly every UFO-oriented faction on X, the "no evidence" crowd included ("whaddya mean five per cent?"). Lots of quotes from non-routine sources.

On 9-9-25 a House Oversight Task Force hears testimony from author-broadcaster George Knapp, 36-year crafter & promoter of the legend of Bob Lazar--scientist-impersonator, fake "Majestic"-clearance holder, felon, and claimed possessor of a gravity-defeating alien isotope. fixupx.com/ddeanjohnson...

Some scientists believe that there is an approximately 12-per-cent chance of a severe solar storm striking the Earth in the next decade—which could devastate our power grid and communication systems. Are we prepared?

George Knapp is co-creator of the legend of Bob Lazar, scientist-impersonator. Knapp has promoted Lazar's claim to hold a gravity-defeating alien isotope. It will be notable if Knapp fails to present up front all he "knows" about "Element 115" at the Sept. 9 congressional "UAP transparency" hearing.

House Oversight Committee releases UAP witness list 1) The House Oversight Committee posted the witness list for a hearing before its Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets on Sept. 9, 2025, under the title "Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection."

VERSIONS OF THE UAP DISCLOSURE ACT ARE NOW ELIGIBLE FOR ACTION IN BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS IN EARLY SEPTEMBER A 🧵 1) In both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, variant versions of the UAP Disclosure Act have been introduced and may be acted on by their respective houses in Sept.

The House Oversight Cmte is "investigating organized efforts...to influence U.S. public opinion on important and sensitive topics by manipulating Wikipedia articles...foreign individuals [and] academic institutions subsidized by U.S. taxpayer dollars, as well as Wikipedia’s awareness and response."
