NOAA’s Importance to UAP Research in context of the “Project 2025” plans to demolish NOAA.

TLDR: It seems to me that a secondary benefit of dismantling NOAA is the closing of one of the only conduits outside of the military industrial complex that can detect and study UAP.

Today, Greenwald announced a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request to obtain NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) emails here. He said…

In July 2023, I filed a request for all emails sent to/from Rear Admiral Timothy Gallaudet. He was the former Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and former Acting Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and Administrator of NOAA. The keyword search contained various UAP related keywords, including "Elizondo" and "Grusch".

On his Black Vault post, he made the following observation about the initial documents her received from NOAA.

Throughout the correspondence, NOAA’s emphasis on interagency collaboration was clear. The agency’s willingness to host meetings, share data, and engage with military and intelligence personnel shows NOAA’s proactive role in the broader effort to understand UAP.

NOAA seems to pop up in my research as team player when it comes to the UAP issue. They have wide technological monitoring capabilities that are outside the military domain. NOAA employs large fleet of satellites, radars, buoys, floats, drones, ground-based observation networks, weather stations, tide gauges, and radar equipped aircraft. You know that these guys "see shit", and it appears they are more willing than the average agency to share the data.

What I find interesting, is that the far-right conservative political playbook, "Project 2025", wants to dismantle NOAA.

Among its many sweeping calls for change in American government, a conservative platform document known as Project 2025 urges the demolition of some of the nation’s most dependable resources for tracking weather, combating climate change and protecting the public from environmental hazards.

“Break up NOAA,” the document says, referring to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and its six main offices, including the 154-year-old National Weather Service.

“Together, these form a colossal operation that has become one of the main drivers of the climate change alarm industry and, as such, is harmful to future U.S. prosperity,” the document says.

I know the far-right are all about small government blah blah blah, and while I know that "the climate change alarm industry" is probably the primary reason to dismantle, I have a hard time not putting on my tin-foil hat when I see that the main players blocking the UAPDA are all republicans, some of which are far right – Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio), Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.), and Rand Paul (R-Ky.).

It seems to me that a secondary benefit of dismantling NOAA is the closing of one of the only conduits outside of the military industrial complex that can detect and study UAP.
