Leave it to me to request something from NRO years ago where they were met with a situation they had never been met with before. 👍

Reach for the stars... and settle for nothing less.

#FOIAGOALS
And yes, the request completed with a released (but redacted) document: theblackvault.com/documentarchiv…
Internally, the NRO also reached out to the CIA because I threw them for a loop with my request.

They also didn't like the fact I declined a release of only unclassified portions.
Internally, one NRO official had no idea if they should be "concerned" about my request, and was seeking advice from a superior on how to handle it.
Seems like #FOIA officers may not sleep well with what I put them through... I do feel bad for that revelation!
Another request seemed to confuse them a bit, as well. Another chimed in about my "frequent" requester status - and my website.

"I'm sure he will post it to his website theblackvault.com," they said.

Yep, you better believe it!

🧵I feel this new pic is likely another model. But, the question is, what is the connection to the grander story being presented?

A hoax? Misunderstood or miscommunicated images? Maybe I can offer some type of explanation.

But first, here's the clip from last night:👇
This was the photo presented: 👇 Image
I can't help but think this saucer is very similar (admittedly, not an exact match) to the saucers used in the 1956 Sci Fi classic film "Earth Vs. The Flying Saucers." 👇

🧵WHY IS DOPSR, AND THEIR REVIEWS, IMPORTANT?

Some people ask me why I am so interested in seeing the behind-the-scenes DOPSR review processes as connected to various claims by individuals inside (and outside) the UFO arena, but they are confused on why it's important. Bottom line: it can be revealing to help the public understand many things on many levels about the issues at hand.

So, here's an [admittedly long] thread on why, with verifiable examples.

But first, let me say, when it comes to @LueElizondo and David Grusch, their claims have been entrenched in controversy, regardless of what you believe about them and their claims. I am guessing (hoping?) that we can all at least ALL agree on that. Whether the DoD is lying, or someone else somewhere in the chain is lying to someone else, it's all downright controversial.

So, the DoD's treatment of these individuals, and their products/claims they seek to publish, would be incredibly revealing. And the DoD, along with the DOJ, has held nothing back in the past when it wants something suppressed.

So, this UFO topic, along with those making the claims, would be no different than it is with anything else. There is no "catch 22" if the DoD suppressed something as Grusch has claimed in the past. I've written extensively about that already. If the DoD wants to suppress something, they do, and the public is left in the dark.

Note: If there was information classified needing to be removed… I fully understand if certain portions of the review process cannot be released publicly. However, the fact that there were demands at all would be part of the story, at least in part.

So, here are some verifiable examples of former DoD personnel and top brass, and the problems they faced writing books and publishing their claims:
👇
“The Room Where It Happened,” by John Bolton, received an extraordinary amount of pushback. Bolton was even being sued by the DOJ as connected to it all, but that case was eventually dropped.

This example is well documented. Bolton claimed that the DOPSR review was being manipulated for political reasons. The National Security Council (NSC) reviewer, Ellen Knight, and her subsequent replacement, Michael Ellis, became central figures in the dispute. 👇Image
"No Easy Day" by Mark Owen [Matt Bissonnette] is an example of what happens when you don't go through the proper DOPSR review process.

The DoD claimed the book contained classified information and pursued legal action against him. As part of the settlement, Bissonnette agreed to forfeit a significant portion of his book's royalties to the U.S. government. While the full review paperwork wasn't publicly released, the legal proceedings and the Pentagon's response provided insight into the issues raised.

Bissonnette published a second book, "No Hero: the Evolution of a Navy SEAL," which did go through the proper channels and sections were redacted. 👇Image

🧵🚨New documents unveil Luis Elizondo & Christopher Mellon's push for the Pentagon to clarify Elizondo's role in AATIP.

They also provide insights into the DoD's internal actions on the issue.

A thread: 🔽 Image
2/12 - “Mr. Elizondo had no responsibilities with regard to the AATIP program while he worked in OUSDI, up until the time he resigned effective 10/4/2017," was a statement by Pentagon spokesperson Christopher Sherwood that was published by The Intercept on June 1, 2019. 🔽
3/12 - It would later be changed to "...no assigned responsibilities..." but the anger was palpable about the DoD's official stance.

Newly released records show what happened in the days that followed that statement being published, and are published here for the first time.🔽

1/X - Here are new UFO videos of a "Triangle UAP" around Twentynine Palms, California, published by @g_knapp and @JeremyCorbell.

The information is in Jeremy's tweet below.

(cont)
2/X - It IMMEDIATELY reminded me when I was producing/writing Season 3 of UFO Hunters (with Bill Birnes @billufomag, Pat Uskert and Kevin Cook).

It was a different case, but it took me right back to the HOURS upon HOURS we spent on that show with stuff just like this.

(cont)
3/X - So, I looked up the military activity in the area for April 20th, 2021.

Take this however you want, but the Weapons and Tactics Instructor (WTI) course 2-21, at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, in Twentynine Palms, was underway on this very date of April 20, 2021.
