The Pentagon has made it easier for military personnel and government employees to disclose information about their UFO encounters.
On Monday, the Department of War announced it will grant a legal waiver allowing civilian workers, contractors, and current and former military personnel to provide information about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), or UFOs, to designated representatives of the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE).
“Under this directive, all current and former DOW service members, civilian personnel, and contractors holding or previously granted access to UAP-related National Defense Information (NDI) are authorized to disclose protected information directly to official PURSUE representatives,” the Department of War said in a press release.
“The waiver supersedes civil and administrative enforcement provisions contained within Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) and Special Access Program Indoctrination Agreements (SAPIAs) previously executed within the United States, strictly for communications directed to the PURSUE team.
“This targeted legal relief establishes an authorized pipeline for systematic review, security evaluation, and potential declassification of historical and ongoing UAP data in furtherance of national mission objectives.”
What does this mean for UFO whistleblowers?
Basically, this means that potential whistleblowers who had non-disclosure agreements and were afraid they would get in trouble with the government or their branch of the military can now at least submit their experiences to what is supposed to be a more transparent government agency. No longer, will whistleblowers have to be concerned with “potential legal liability, loss of clearances, or administrative prosecution.”
Hopefully, that also means that the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) will then be able to release more of these previously unshared encounters to the American public.
Although the waiver allows both current and past government employees to report UAP activity, it is still unknown if the Pentagon intends to look into the numerous UFO sightings that the public has reported. Despite repeatedly saying it will, the AARO has not yet begun accepting public reports.
