From today’s @morningdefense: Congressional efforts to force the military and spy agencies to take reports of UFOs more seriously got more interesting with a new NDAA amendment proposed by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand to create an ‘‘Anomaly Surveillance and Resolution Office.’’ 1/
The provision, far more expansive and detailed than one adopted as part of the House version of the bill, stipulates that the head of the new Pentagon office will pursue “any resource, capability, asset, or process of the Department and the intelligence community.” 2/
It also would require regular reports, including unclassified versions, about what the government now calls unidentified aerial phenomenon, including whether it’s keeping any crashed UFOs under wraps or tracking any biological effects from any encounters. 3/
Gillibrand also wants the secretary of defense to set up a separate “aerial and transmedium advisory committee” of experts from across the government, industry and academia to advise the head of the new operation. 4/
The board would be appointed by NASA, the FAA, the National Academies, the Galileo Project at Harvard, the director of the Optical Technology Center at Montana State University, the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies, and American Institute of Astronautics and Aeronautics. 5/5
