      Everything that has transpired since the 2017 New York Times article feels like a small snowball that started rolling at the top of a mountain. All the events from Lue Elizondo’s departure from AATIP and the New York Times article to where we are today feel unprecedented.

      What stands out most to me is the political unity. In a time marked by deep political division, where Republicans and Democrats often fail to accomplish much due to their attempts to stonewall each other, they are united on this one issue. UAPs seem to be the only topic that isn’t polarizing. We have a Republican-controlled house and a Democrat-controlled senate, both seemingly wanting the same thing.

      I don’t think we’ve ever had this many public officials, particularly those who have received classified briefings, go on record stating their belief that UAPs are not man-made. Also, consider the UAP amendment to the 2023 NDAA sponsored by Senator Schumer. We now have legislation that explicitly mandates the declassification and disclosure of overclassified UAP material. This amendment also asserts eminent domain over non-human technology and biological samples, leaving little room for other interpretations.

      So, while the general public doesn’t really have any definitive proof and we are left to speculate, I believe that the legislation and actions of our elected officials are quite telling. Several prominent figures who have been in this field for a long time share a similar sentiment. Regardless of what UAPs might or might not be, Congress is taking the issue very seriously, which is unprecedented.
