Pentagon Waiver Lets UFO Witnesses Break Secrecy Oaths Safely

The waiver creates a controlled pipeline for reviewing and possibly declassifying UAP information, while leaving public disclosure limits in place.

  • On Monday, The Department issued a legal waiver allowing current and former military personnel to disclose information related to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena to the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters without violating secrecy agreements.
  • Before Monday, personnel with access to classified UAP-related information remained bound by Special Access Program Indoctrination Agreements; The Department said these agreements discouraged witnesses from sharing due to concerns about potential legal liability or administrative punishment.
  • The Department emphasized the waiver does not create unrestricted public disclosure, instead establishing a controlled review process. DOD recently published its fifth PURSUE release, featuring accounts from two special agents and thermal video footage of infrared anomalies.
  • Julia Mossbridge, founder of the Mossbridge Institute, told Newsweek on Monday that "Anytime there can be more transparency, it's great," and applauded organizations pushing for full congressional transparency regarding UAP investigations.
  • Attention now shifts to whether additional witnesses will step forward under the new mechanism. David Grusch, former intelligence officer, previously alleged secret government programs recovered unidentified craft, calling for greater transparency regarding UAP-related activities and technological advancement.
