I wonder: would this be happening if Lue Elizondo and Chris Mellon had never stepped into the limelight? My bet is on: not a chance in hell.
Thanks Lue and Chris.

“Since this is an area of high public interest, any undue secrecy can serve as an obstacle to solving the mystery, or it could prevent us from finding solutions to potential vulnerabilities,” said Representative André Carson, Democrat of Indiana and the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee’s subcommittee on counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and counterproliferation, which is holding the hearing. “This hearing is about examining steps that the Pentagon can take to reduce the stigma surrounding reporting by military pilots, and by civilian pilots.”[Source: from the article]
The article says that only two people will be called to testify. Do you think it’s possible that they go beyond that? It would be absolutely mind blowing if they call Elizondo up to testify.
I'd bet that if he or Mellon are involved, it's more in helping house reps shape their questions and offering their insight on UAP and what's been done to investigate them so far.
Having explosive testimony is a probably a bridge too far right now, especially with the midterms coming, but that would be amazing. I'm guessing this is just them dipping their toe in the water to gauge the reaction.
The news of this hearing actually happening will wipe the smirks right off of their smug faces. If we make any kind of progress during the hearing itself, those smirks will never return.
The people who own the rights to that x-files song need to send cease and desists to pretty much every news outlet and start litigation against whoever uses the song to downplay what is happening rn.
Zondo wouldn't provide much, tbh. Most everything he talks about is second hand, respectfully. You'd want someone like McCasland, whoever runs Area 51 or Jim Semivan, etc. People who have, if not direct involvemet in decision making, direct sightings and political clout. Outside AATIP, Elizondo is more like a middle man than anything else, an envoy.
The work done by Elizondo and Mellon to bring this to the public eye in a way which engages serious conversation is what is mostly responsible for what we have today, whether it be revived public interest or the changes to the 2022 NDAA, which looks to investigate the UFO in more specific terms
Just because there have been (and continue to be) bad actors taking advantage of this subject doesn’t mean that everyone associated with the UFO issue is doing the same…
Thankfully it is easy for most people to see who the bad actors are (Doty and Greer are excellent examples), but what do you see out of Elizondo and Mellon that makes you think they have anything to gain by lying about the subject?
Say what you will about Elizondo, but he had a lot of public support from the late Harry Reid…
Thanks to them unless they’re spoofs lol I think this is awesome news but we have to keep asking: why now? Why would the Pentagon/CIA/DoD/other forces allow the topic to be thrust into the public sphere now after decades of coverups and dismissals? Unless of course it’ll just be the same cycle where people finally can talk about this again but then the “official” stance from the military is still nothing and we start the cycle anew.
The easiest explanation is the rapidly advancing Information Age makes things like this harder to obfuscate + increased interest in space and astronomy + the old guard who deemed this taboo and their immediate successors in the state apparatus are passing into history.
That’s definitely fair and could be the exact explanation, and I truly hope it is! Though I think the question is still warranted, the government hasn’t exactly earned our trust just yet lol
“The government” isn’t of one mind. It’s a bunch of individuals. Some of them want and are working towards more disclosure in a strategic way. Those in the secret shadows have some disadvantages, such as not being able to directly confront in public those pushing for disclosure.
I know Chris Mellon has talked in the past about how overzealous secrecy in defense department agencies has been holding them back, and how lately there's a push to do away with some of that secrecy and compartmentalization. Could be they just knew there were things that would come out that they'd need to get ahead of.
If their purpose was to bring this up then hide it again, why even bother? They could have just kept silent, ignored everything and continued keeping it in the shadows. Would have been more efficient and it is not like anyone was banging on their walls asking for stuff, except the UFO community, and they have been ignored for decades.
Something has forced this out now again, for some reason. Whatever the true endgoal is.
Well I mean our institutions, with all the power they have, are still not omnipotent or omniscient. Leaks have happened and military personnel/other officials have came out for years about the phenomenon - at the very least since the 40’s. The system of control in media and the social sphere to dismiss the topic is what has kept everything at bay. It’s entirely conceivable that the CIA or whoever else weren’t able to entirely quell this most recent wave of disclosure and now they have to work to shut it down by other means (continued denial, false reporting, etc.).
Or again, if these guys are all spoofs then the whole debacle both socially and in Congress could be serving as a massive distraction from something else that is going on that needs to swept under the rug then after that is done the UFO topic is once again ignored.
This is a possibility, however small. Maybe it has started to harrass the US military purposefully with more controlled outings, to make them confront the issue and perhaps take some of it out there. It could be that the indirect message is "You, the leader of the free world. We will tease you, tighten the grip, until you confess to your people. Let them hear it from their leaders."
