Decades of Easy UFO Answers Are Running Out?

Greetings Mark,
The UAP disclosure process continues to accelerate, as Steven Spielberg’s new film Disclosure Day gains momentum at the box office. It's getting critical acclaim and has attracted 8 million theater goers during its debut week. I want to invite you to join me this Sunday for another installment of my Sunday Series about the movie. I'll be discussing what the film reveals about the profound cultural shifts already underway as humanity begins confronting the reality of the UFO/UAP phenomenon.
Meanwhile, if you’d like to catch up on last week's Sunday Series discussion, you can watch the full replay here. We had nearly 500 participants, and we hope the energy continues (please spread the word by sharing the flyer below along with the registration link!).
The federal government has now released its third batch of declassified UAP files. It marks another important step in forcing the UAP issue out of the shadows and into the public record. This latest tranche includes dozens of documents, images, videos, and audio recordings from agencies including the CIA, FBI, NASA, and the Defense Department, spanning from the 1940s to the present day. What makes this release especially significant is the combination of contemporary federal law-enforcement reporting and historical material that directly challenges decades of official minimization.
A June 2026 AARO memo, for example, acknowledges that a substantial portion of reported phenomena remain unresolved after initial analysis, while newly released FBI material describes unusual orb-like activity, firsthand civilian accounts, and objects with characteristics that defy conventional explanation. The release also includes a 253-page Air Force report from 1947, covering Roswell and other early cases, that undercuts the explanations long offered to the public. Taken together, these records do more than add to the file; they reinforce why transparency, independent review, and public accountability are no longer optional. The government has spent generations asking citizens to accept easy answers. These documents show why that era must end.
Another key development this past week was the announcement by Harvard Professor and Galileo Project founder Avi Loeb that he was tasked by departments and agencies of federal law enforcement, the military, and the Intelligence Community to assemble a new UAP Science Advisory Council. That was followed by reporting by Chris Sharp at the Liberation Times that Loeb’s Council will report to a newly stood-up “UAP Governance Board” to “provide guidance, recommendations and coordination at the interagency level, bringing together military, law enforcement, the Intelligence Community, and other civilian agencies.”
We’ll be following this development with intense focus. While we welcome signs from the executive branch that it might be interested in disclosure, we must have clear eyes. The Governance Board, tasked with advising the president, will be dominated by the leaders of departments and agencies responsible for decades of lies and obfuscation.
In closing, I invite you to watch the latest episode of my podcast, Full Disclosure. In it, I compare/contrast what Spielberg’s film is communicating about the UFO phenomenon with what the federal government has revealed in its recent document releases, and I find that in some ways the movie is a more ambitious indicator of where the disclosure process stands than the government’s releases.
Together, we create the future.
