S18 E1
The Disclosure Event
42m | 2022 | TV-PG | CC

In 2021, the United States government broke a 70-year precedent of denying UFOs and released a groundbreaking report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. Are we on the brink of full government disclosure about the strange objects witnessed in our skies? And if so, will we soon discover that they are, in fact, of extraterrestrial origin?

Has anything new come out since that 60 Minutes segment and the government report last year? Or is this just going to be another rehash of everything that's already been covered?

The first segment is a good recap of the government's admission that these phenomena are being studied and they don't know what they are. Those are confirmed facts. I'm assuming the sensationalism and "ALIENS!" claims will come later in the program. I haven't made it all the way through yet.

So no new evidence (photos, videos, etc)?

The show covers everything released through last summer, so if you've seen the "splash" video and read the preliminary assessment report from the DNI then you're up to speed. Nothing new. It's a decent recap of what's happened with the familiar "fact, fact, fact, speculation, speculation, speculation, wilder speculation, noncommital quote from government official, more speculation, "COULD BE ALIENS!". Then the cycle repeats. Sure enough, Von Daniken makes an appearance at the very end to torpedo any chance of this being taken seriously.

Harry Reid died for nothing

JK he's roasting for tons of good reasons

That's too bad. I was hoping they (they being the US govt) would have more by now and figured they would based on what they said last year. You remember that big "disclosure" the Air Force made in the '90s about Roswell? Turned out to be nothing. This is starting to feel like that.

The statements by the DNI that (1) the military/intelligence agencies have been continually investigating UAP despite previous denials AND (2) 143 out of 144 events from the past 2 years still cannot be explained AND (3) observed UAP performance characteristics can't be definitively traced to either our own programs or those of other countries are all, in truth, pretty significant admissions. Is "full disclosure" imminent? I don't think so. But the DNI report is pretty eye-opening regardless if you read the actual words and stay away from the "ancient aliens" speculation. If you watch the History Channel report with a discerning eye, it's pretty good.

Agreed on DNI report. First time our military/govt has officially confirmed there are strange objects in our sky and we don't know what they are. Even Obama said that. But unless these objects start shooting our jets out of the sky most people won't care.

The et presence, involvement, past relationship with our species is the one thing that makes perfect sense. 2 types of folk here on earth: those that have connected a few dots and those that will.
Why haven't they landed on the WhiteHouse lawn? They've chosen not to.

But, they DID have a vehicle crash in the Roswell NM area in the summer of '47.

What ARE the implications?
