Bump.

This is probably worth posting. This is a pretty remarkable statement being made on the floor of Congress today.

For some background context, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., introduced an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would dramatically transform the US Government's approach to unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP, formally known as UFO's). If approved, it would mandate unprecedented government transparency on the UFO phenomenon, and mark a historic shift in how the government treats the issue by drawing upon scientific expertise and demanding analytic objectivity.

Republican Tim Burchett made a statement against the Pentagon creating their new UFO office, which wants to create the Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group (AOIMSG) office. It would basically make the DoD the sole UFO investigator with no required public accountability. It looks to have been an attempt to stymie the Gillibrand amendment.

Will be interesting to see where this goes.
