US intelligence agencies have 180 days to share what they know about UFOs

One section of the governmental spending bill requires the DoD and Intell agencies to report to congress within 180 days what they know about UFOs.

When President Donald Trump signed the $2.3 trillion coronavirus relief and government funding bill into law in December, so began the 180-day countdown for US intelligence agencies to tell Congress what they know about UFOs.

No, really.


The director of National Intelligence and the secretary of defense have a little less than six months now to provide the congressional intelligence and armed services committees with an unclassified report about "unidentified aerial phenomena."


It's a stipulation that was tucked into the "committee comment" section of the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021, which was contained in the massive spending bill.


That report must contain detailed analyses of UFO data and intelligence collected by the Office of Naval Intelligence, the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force and the FBI, according to the Senate intelligence committee's directive.



It should also describe in detail "an interagency process for ensuring timely data collection and centralized analysis of all unidentified aerial phenomena reporting for the Federal Government" and designate an official responsible for that process.


Finally, the report should identify any potential national security threats posed by UFOs and assess whether any of the nation's adversaries could be behind such activity, the committee said.


The submitted report should be unclassified, the committee said, though it can contain a classified annex.


A spokesperson for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence confirmed the news to the fact-checking website Snopes.


Congress has long been interested in UFOs



The Pentagon released three short videos in April of last year showing "unidentified aerial phenomena" -- clips that the US Navy had previously confirmed were real.

The DoD and intel agencies are going to have to create some sort of briefing off the data they have. Since they released actual footage of unidentified aerial phenomena from three separate incidents, we know that they have some data.

And I would point out this was signed and moved Forward by DOD under TRUMP, not Democrats as occasionally promised..........

Now it will be in Biden's hands to keep the door open or shut it!

It's not about WooWoo UFO Aliens abducting the neighbors crazy wife. It is about Unidentified threats to our Military forces.

What they are is an open question?

There are Dems who are very important in the disclosure realm. Podesta, even though he is a pedo, like Joe* is instrumental in disclosure.

I wonder if this is related to the Congressional mandate:

CIA releases UFO ‘Black Vault’ documents early: How to see them online

Federal intelligence on extraterrestrial technology — at your fingertips.

By way of the Freedom of Information Act, thousands of the CIA documents on unidentified flying objects (UFOs) — or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), as the government calls them — are now accessible via download at the Black Vault, a website operated by author and podcaster John Greenwald Jr.


The CIA claims they have now provided all the information on UAP they have, though there is no way to know that’s true.


“Research by The Black Vault will continue to see if there are additional documents still uncovered within the CIA’s holdings,” Greenwald promised in a statement on his website.


The release comes months before the Pentagon was due to brief Congress on all they know about UAP — a date dictated in the most recent COVID-19 relief bill, of all places, which passed in late December.

The demands for alien intel became so many that the CIA eventually compiled it onto a CD-ROM, obtained by Greenwald and uploaded to the Black Vault, divvied into dozens of downloadable .PDFs.

E.T. ONLINE CIA’s declassified UFO documents are now online as ‘Black Vault’ reveals ‘mystery explosions’ and ‘contact with aliens’

It will be interesting to see how the IC presents this info to Congress.

The guy who operates the Black Vault started making FOIA requests concerning UFOs when he was 15.

The dossier is bursting with hundreds of declassified records containing once top-secret information on "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena" (UAPs).

Known as the "Black Vault", the database is available thanks to a decades-long effort to access the CIA's records, which date back as far as the 1980s.


Campaigner John Greenewald Jr., who operates the website, says it contains what the CIA claims is all of its documents on UAPs.


UAP is the US government's preferred term for aerial objects that experts cannot immediately identify or explain.


Many may turn out to be tricks of the light or a fault in a pilot's instruments, but a handful are targets of investigations by The Pentagon.
Greenewald, who began investigating the US government's UFO projects in 1996 at the age of 15, told Motherboard on Monday that he’s been suing the CIA to release its UAP records for decades.

"Around 20 years ago, I had fought for years to get additional UFO records released from the CIA," Greenewald said.

"It was like pulling teeth! I went around and around with them to try and do so, finally achieving it.

"I received a large box, of a couple thousand pages, and I had to scan them in one page at a time."
