All the relevant UAP updates from March 18-24

# This past week in Disclosure:

**Mar 19 – Retired Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet: “I am completely convinced because I know the people who were in the government legacy programs that oversaw both the crash retrieval and analysis of UAP data..”**

In a [YouTube interview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YNfDyxOlwY&ab_channel=KristianHarloff), retired US Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet provided his perspective on the reality of the UAP situation. He also recently [published a whitepaper](https://twitter.com/GallaudetTim/status/1769751026913914924) that explores the oft-ignored USO (unidentified submerged object) aspect of the UAP issue.

Notable quotes from the interview:

>*”I am completely convinced because I know the people who were in the government legacy programs that oversaw both the crash retrieval and analysis of UAP data… Former intelligence/DoD… We are working as a team behind the scenes to advance disclosure*”

​

**Mar 20 – UAP advocates hold a rally at Senator Schumer’s New York office**

As covered in [the Debrief](https://thedebrief.org/uap-advocates-rally-at-senator-schumers-office-in-new-york-as-efforts-mobilize-across-45-states/):

>*”Advocates for the disclosure of U.S. government records related to unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) will attend a sidewalk rally in New York this week in support of* [*Senator Chuck Schumer*](https://thedebrief.org/the-uap-disclosure-act-of-2023-what-we-know-about-chuck-schumer-and-the-senates-new-push-for-uap-transparency/) *and his efforts toward greater government transparency, and to urge for future Congressional hearings on the matter.”*

​

**Mar 20 – European Member of Parliament hosts a UAP-related even in the European Parliament (Brussels)**

Organised by MEP Francisco Guerreiro, [the event](https://twitter.com/DrBeaVillarroel/status/1770922791111393283?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1770922791111393283%7Ctwgr%5Ed572b6e77a50baf6376e5240c868eaf79dada4a6%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redditmedia.com%2Fmediaembed%2F1bkovul%2F%3Fresponsive%3Dtrueis_nightmode%3Dtrue) sought to facilitate a level-headed discussion around the UAP topic. The full session can be [viewed here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5AUs1hzhc8&ab_channel=FranciscoGuerreiroMultimedia)

​

**Mar 22 – The Guardian publishes an article featuring an interview with Dr. Kirkpatrick: “He quit heading the Pentagon’s UFO office. Now a report of his has shaken up ufology”**

While [the article ](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/22/ufologists-sean-kirkpatrick-pentagon-report-uaps)was initially titled – “*UFOlogists tried to break into my home for telling truth, says ex-Pentagon investigator*” – it was quickly amended to correct the apparent misquote.

In line with Dr. Kirkpatrick’s recent outings, this article paints the current push for UAP disclosure as the result of a small group of individuals embroiled in a farcical game of telephone – who have mistaken debris, conventional aircraft, and classified programs for non-human related technologies.

​

**Mar 22 – Rep. Burlison appears for an interview with Askapol to discuss the UAP topic**

In an [interview hosted by Askapol,](https://www.askapol.com/p/video-ask-a-pols-live-listening-session) Rep. Eric Burlison elaborated on some of the behind-the-scenes actions that have been undertaken by members of the UAP Caucus.

In particular, he reaffirmed that efforts to establish a Select (sub)committee on UAP are ongoing, and will not easily be swept under the rug.

With regards to the ICIG assessment of Grusch’s claims, he revealed that while the ICIG has not been able to assess the validity of claims related to NHI – they have essentially confirmed the claims related to over-classification and compartmentalised programs being illegally concealed from Congress. The session Members of Congress recently had with the ICIG also provided 2 locations of interest.

# Things to look out for in the near future:

​

**April**

* [According to Senator Gillibrand](https://www.askapol.com/p/exclusive-sen-gillibrand-i-want-to#details) – a public hearing in line with AARO’s latest report can be expected soon, saying –”*I’ll probably have another hearing aligned with that public report*.”

​

**Beyond/currently unknown**

* Following [the UAP hearing on the 26th of July](https://www.disclosurediaries.com/house-oversight-committee-uap-hearing/), Members of Congress have [called for a select committee with subpoena authority](https://twitter.com/RepTimBurchett/status/1684956861898919936), to “*go about the task of collecting information from the Pentagon and elsewhere*” on unidentified flying objects. There have been conflicting messages from various Members of Congress on whether this is likely to happen anytime soon.
Note – a select subcommittee was formally requested on March 13th.
* Reps. Moskowitz, Luna, and Burchett have repeatedly stated their intent to hold field hearings to overcome stonewalling from the Pentagon and military establishment”*I think we \[Congress\] should try to get into one of these places \[housing UAP evidence\]…and if they won’t let us in I think we should have a field hearing right outside the building…and the military will have to explain why that is.” –* [Rep. Moskowitz (D)](https://youtu.be/9u-Qz1syV_A?t=388)It is currently unknown when exactly we might expect that to occur, however as of Jan 12 – Rep. Luna [confirmed](https://twitter.com/realannapaulina/status/1745931131248153027):”*I feel confident that we have enough evidence to move forward with our first field hearing.* [u/mattgaetz](https://www.reddit.com/user/mattgaetz/) [u/JaredEMoskowitz](https://www.reddit.com/user/JaredEMoskowitz/) [u/timburchett](https://www.reddit.com/user/timburchett/) *. We will be announcing details soon.*”
* Several journalists have indicated that first-hand witnesses of the alleged UAP legacy programs are in the process of providing testimony/evidence to the relevant authorities (e.g. the IC IG) and/or are on the verge of making public statements in the near future ([Example 1](https://www.liberationtimes.com/home/multiple-sources-confirm-the-pentagons-ufo-office-has-coordinated-collection-and-analysis-of-material-from-unknown-origin), [example 2](https://youtu.be/VUs-kcoe82A?t=6981), [example 3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUlsI9ggKr0&ab_channel=TheGoodTroubleShowwithMattFord), [example 4](https://public.substack.com/p/dozens-of-government-ufo-whistleblowers))
* David Grusch has received additional clearances through [DOPSR](https://www.esd.whs.mil/DOPSR/) to discuss some of his (alleged) [first-hand knowledge of Legacy programs](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/18g7snn/david_grusch_has_first_hand_knowledge_of_a_uap/). He has mentioned he may be covering more of this information in an upcoming Op-Ed
* Some commentators [have speculated](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rLLVfpw-q4&ab_channel=NewsNation) that the architects of the UAPDA (e.g. Sens. Schumer/Rounds et al) are working diligently behind the scenes to continue furthering serious legislative UAP transparency efforts
