NEW: The White House has created a UAP Governance Board, which oversees the @ProfAviLoeb Advisory Council. @ODNIgov says the Board will "integrate" & "optimise" the investigation of UAP incidents and assist in timely coordination of declassification.
There is nothing in this statement that says this Board - or Prof Loeb's Advisory Council - will be given legal powers - such as subpoena - to enforce these aspirations. It's still @DeptofWar deciding what they get to see.
Both the Governance Board and Advisory Committee are to be in support of @AARO, the Pentagon's UAP investigation office, so this new structure is all under @DeptofWar & IC control.
Unless these bodies are given teeth, it means the gatekeepers retain control over disclosure. Unless the @WhiteHouse@POTUS gives a UAP transparency oversight body independence and teeth, so-called Disclosure will be ineffectual and evasive for as long as the gatekeepers want to conceal.
This risks being yet another ineffectual effort like Project Bluebook, humouring public demands for truth but continuing the cover-up. Credit: @ddeanjohnson
.@rosscoulthart calls out Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick for being a gatekeeper of the legacy UAP program.

Mr. Mellon,
While many, including myself, appreciate your tenacity here, this is a perplexing tweet...
You are calling for the release of UAP space data, satellite data, and detection from the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System; however, you yourself have commented on several occasions on the existence of both the legacy programs and recovered materials/biological samples.
The number one example that comes to mind is this redacted Signal messaging screenshot you released in 2024 in response to Sean Kirkpatrick voluntarily offering Signal exchanges between you and him for a FOIA release.
This redacted exchange with an unknown individual not only confirms you know the management structure, security control systems, and ownership of the crash retrieval portfolio, but that you are also aware of a highly classified memo by SecAF in the 1950s that is still in effect to maintain cover for the legacy programs.
Indeed, you also in this exchange confirm you are aware of the Air Force legacy SES-2 gatekeeper (likely Russel E. Wyler) and state the 1953 Kingman, Arizona UFO crash was indeed real and recovered.
So why exactly is this memo by a former SecAF or the release of the Kingman wreckage and biologics not a priority for you? These have lower precedence than your listed IMINT/SIGINT data?....
You have said similar things on several occasions regarding UFO retrieval and exploitation, including a 2023 NewsNation appearance with Chris Cuomo where you stated: "I’ve been told that we have recovered technology that did not originate on this Earth, by officials in the Department of Defense and by former intelligence officials."

This feels like a bizarre pivot back to your and Mr. Elizondo's ~ 2017-2023 narrative of discussing an amorphous non-human presence on this planet without breaking into the fine details of recovered technical vehicles or biologics.
At the same time, I find it bizarre that your list is excluding maritime UFO sensor data encounters. We know, all the way back to the days of Project Blue Book, USO/maritime UFO encounters are often strikingly anomalous and occur almost more frequently than any space-based UFO monitoring and tracking.
Others and I share the concern that within the Age of Disclosure documentary, Jay Stratton, who retired as a Defense Intelligence Senior Executive (DISES) from the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), purposefully excluded Navy elements from the film's "Legacy Program" outline to protect his Naval interest or prior exposure to Naval Legacy Elements. Mr. Mellon, are you doing the same? Admiral Gallaudet has advocated for the study of UFO/USO in maritime environments tirelessly. Why do you not also advocate for release of such data?
An additional worthy pursuit, as I have publicly requested, is for you to comment on your former SSCI coworker, Mary K. Sturtevant. As I have stated, I am aware that whilst Sturtevant was Lockheed Martin VP of Government Affairs and VP for Intelligence, Joint and Science & Technology Progams, she aided in the blocking of the Kona Blue PSAP UFO materials transfer between Lockheed Martin and the AAWSAP. My public request to you can be found here:

Why is UFO retrieval, exploitation, and reverse engineering, for which you have advocated transparency in the past, taking a backseat to a handful of specific sensor data?
The other day I was asked by an Administration official what my priorities would be for release of UAP information. I replied as follows:
1) UAP Space Data
UAP detected in space, either in orbit or entering and departing the Earth’s atmosphere. I believe we have such data yet nothing of this kind has been released. We have numerous systems performing space surveillance, including the world’s most powerful radars. The power, sophistication and range of those systems leads me to believe they must inevitably collect and track UAP.
2) Satellite Data
This is another category of UAP data that has not been released to date. I’ve seen some of this imagery and what I’ve seen was impressive. Although typically highly classified, under present circumstances, with pressure from the White House, it may well be possible to release some or all of this overhead UAP data.
3) UAP Data from the Ballistic Missile Early Warning System
The old Ballistic Missile Early Warning System has been continuously updated since the end of the Cold War to its current condition. These are believed to be the most powerful emitters on the planet. Further, numerous UAP encounters have clearly occurred within their areas of coverage. For example, during the Nimitz incident numerous UAP were descending from roughly 80,000 ft to 20,000 feet, in mere seconds, for several days, directly in front of the powerful strategic radar at Beale Air Force Base. Yet, none of this data has been released. Data from each of these systems could appreciably add to our knowledge of the UAP phenomenon.
I’m hoping they have the latitude and determination needed to come clean with this information.
NEW: David Grusch describes UFOs that crashed and were recovered by the U.S. Govt — “I’ve seen the recovered vehicles”
“A bunch of different morphologies the U.S. Govt has recovered from eggs, to discs, to crescent moon boomerang-type vehicles.”
“I think the Administration will release that information in a further drop.”
“It changed my worldview.”
This one-page memo in the third tranche of declassified UFO files shows a 1958 phone conversation between the CIA and a scientist about an alleged 'space message' which had been destroyed after its reception on Earth.
This is Tulsi Gabbard’s Swan Song— She just exposed them ALL!
🚨 Declassified Report Maps out the Extensive Secret U.S. Network Behind Ukrainian Biolabs and Dangerous Gain of Function and Pathogen Research 🦠
This document shows many U.S. government agencies, universities, and companies linked to Ukrainian scientific institutions conducting dangerous “research” on the world’s most dangerous pathogens. 🦠
A table lists multiple research projects (called TAPs) on viruses such as highly pathogenic avian influenza (bird flu), African swine fever, and others. Many of these projects were completed or are ongoing.
The U.S. funded Ukrainian scientists to study the genomes of highly dangerous viruses inside biocontainment labs that were also paid for by the U.S. government.

From today's Third Release of the UAP Files under PURSUE:
"The Director of Intelligence, U.S. Air Force has informed the Navy Department that a cycle of reappearance of 'Flying Discs' is becoming apparent, and that the beginning of a new interval is imminent. They have requested that any such sightings be reported as quickly as possible, and that these phenomena be investigated."
This 1948 document is a memorandum from the Commandant of the 5th Naval District, and it cites a memorandum related to "flying discs" from the Chief of Naval Operations. The memorandum requests that naval stations report incidents to the nearest Air Force command and to the Naval District Intelligence Office.
