EXCLUSIVE: President Trump has directed the Department of War and the intelligence community to waive nondisclosure agreements for former government employees and contractors who want to cooperate with federal UAP investigators.

The directive follows years of complaints from lawmakers and whistleblowers that people with firsthand knowledge were too afraid to talk. A new tranche of UAP files is expected "very soon." Here's how the process works: Former employees or contractors who believe they have relevant UAP information first meet with officials at the Pentagon's AARO or the PURSUE task force who hold appropriate security clearances. During those authorized discussions, applicable NDAs can be waived — allowing witnesses to share what they know without legal risk.
