If you're into the topic of ufology, one of the main voices in the disclosure movement is former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Chris Mellon.

He recently penned a very detailed write-up and scathing analysis of why the US Air Force is lacking in reporting around the UAP topic and resisting civilian oversight on the issue. You may note that there is a large difference between the way the USAF and the US Navy approach this issue (with many recently released videos or unidentified cases being from Navy archives).

Why is the Air Force AWOL on the UAP Issue?

Last June, the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) released a public report entitled Preliminary Assessment: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. The report confirmed that vehicles of unknown origin and capability are operating on a recurring basis, with seeming impunity, in restricted U.S. military airspace. It also appears that in some cases these vehicles are maneuvering in ways that surpass not only U.S. aerospace capabilities but our understanding of physics. As U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee said, “I don’t know what it is, but any time you have legitimate pilots describing something that doesn’t seem to conform to the laws of physics that govern aviation and is in U.S. airspace, I think it’s something we need to get to the bottom of.”

The DNI’s report cited 144 incidents since 2004 in which the U.S. military detected these enigmatic aircraft. Although OSD and DNI public affairs refuse to clarify, it is my understanding that the U.S. Air Force contributed very few, if any, of the 144 reports. If one or two USAF UAP reports did slip through, they are at best the exception that proves the rule. Otherwise it was virtually all US Navy reporting. Notably, in 80 Cases multiple sensor systems simultaneously corroborated the presence of the UAP.

How is this possible in light of the USAF’s global responsibility for aerospace defense and its massive air and space surveillance capabilities? Are we to believe that the USAF did not detect any Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) from 2004 until 2021? This lapse in USAF reporting raises doubts about the credibility of the Air Force on the UAP issue and its responsiveness to civilian oversight.
