When one of the ORIGINAL journalists who wrote the #AATIP / "Secret Pentagon #UFO Study" story comes to feel this way more than 4 years after news first broke; I think we should do two things:

1) Compliment @BryanDBender for his candor, and
2) Continue to ask tough questions. ImageImage

1/ I was going to let this go on longer, but let me clarify to clear up any misunderstanding. The quote was said by Luis Elizondo (@JChurchRadio / Feb 15, '22) and it is a real quote.

I was just curious to see interpretations if a big bad Pentagon spokesperson said it, instead.
2/ Although some agree, and others disagree with the original sentiment; it's wrong. There are too many amazing people that have done amazing things that have paved the way for "Post December 2017 UFOlogy" to exist - whatever THAT actually is.
3/ But destroying the field just because someone doesn't "like where it is" is a viewpoint none of us need in this conversation.

I don't like where a lot of things are, but it doesn't mean I should destroy it all to start over to where I think it should be just because.

1/ I am SURPRISED (ok, not really) that the discrepancy of the page count for the classified UAP report given to Congress last year is STILL some big issue.

Let me add some closing (for now) thoughts on the issue until new information, if ever, arrives.

2/ I like Mr. @LueElizondo, and feel we get along just fine behind the scenes, despite some differences of opinion. You would never guess from some garbage posted on #UFOTwitter by others, but I hope that much is true and he agrees.
3/ But, I was dismayed to see another interview bringing up the page count of the report, and taking jabs at #FOIA.

Not only were his remarks mischaracterized, but it fires up some of his nosiest fans, and of course, they come right after me immediately after he said it.

1/ I think my RT yesterday about calling others out for inaccurate information was misconstrued by some.

So, let me try to explain further the frustration that sparks posts like that.

This may be a long, but controversial, thread. But it needs to be said.

So, here goes.
2/ I truly mean no disrespect to ANY party, but I think @MiddleOfMayhem (I am NOT speaking for him) and his recent posts point out a trend. A trend that goes back to day one of visuals used to fit a narrative in this current UFO conversation. BUT they aren't accurately portrayed.
3/ And I truly mean DAY ONE of this current conversation.

In the original press conference in October 2017 that introduced Luis Elizondo to the world, a party balloon was shown to depict a tic-tac as Chris Mellon talked.

This, of course, was entirely inaccurate.

Moving on... Image

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.

1/ (rt'ing for thread response)

My take is this: I would not say I endorse the whole disinfo op claim outlined in the article. I still need to see more supporting that, and have long said I do not buy it on that level. But there is much more to this story we don't know.
2/ What I will say in response to the claims here, is that there are NUMEROUS unanswered questions throughout the last few years connected to this entire saga.

We were told many things by TTSA and those connected to it, a lot of which is now proven untrue.
3/ For example, the "chain of custody" claims about the videos they released. The false use of a stock image representing metamaterials, which was of a rock. A CGI photo in a PowerPoint presentation told to the audience as a "real" photo. Etc. Etc.

1/ I know this tweet upset some, but let me add more to properly explain what I meant.

Legislative mandates, initiatives, bills, etc. are trumped by national security. I am EXCITED to see how this all plays out when it comes to UAP "transparency," but we need to be realistic.
2/ I posted yesterday how the 1960s played out very similar to today and we ended up with the Condon report. Will this be the same? I'm no fortune teller, nor is anyone, so who really knows? I just choose to be cautiously optimistic.

But, let me use a modern, non-UFO, example.
3/ President Trump, who sat in the highest office of the land, had the desire to release all JFK assassination files. He had a history of rocking the boat in D.C., and this appeared to be part of that intent.

However, national security won in the end, and secrecy prevailed.
