Today, @SeniorTrender and I present our research into claims that Army Criminal Investigations Division (CID) agent, Thomas Barnes, investigated Army Lt. General John Riggs for improperly disclosing non-human intelligence (NHI) reverse engineered technology to a subordinate. Through FOIA, we’ve confirmed that Riggs was indeed investigated for improperly disclosing procurement sensitive information, and having this subordinate read into a Special Access Program (SAP).

To conduct this investigation, Barnes was allegedly read into 16 Unacknowledged SAPs dealing with NHI technology, managed by the Army’s Technology Management Office (TMO). In the article, we present evidence that TMO indeed managed access “spooky” SAPs, and other data supporting the claims.

While we make no definitive conclusions, we believe we’ve stumbled upon a paper trail that could lead directly to some of the alleged NHI reverse engineering programs. And, at the very least, warrant further investigation by a congressional body as to why Riggs was not formally charged.

The article can be viewed here https://t.co/tDcdGDCYaj

We’re happy to answer any questions you have.

@lesternare @claudeai Sounds like *. Wow - I can’t type today

[Abbas @aboss]

@lesternare @claudeai Sounds Mythos could one shot prove the existence of NHI reverse engineering programs

[Abbas @aboss]

@Neil__Goodman I laughed way too hard reading this

[Astral🛸 @The_Astral_]

Ross Coulthart is hearing rumors that a prominent figure involved in the UAP transparency effort may be under consideration for a role in the Trump administration. 👀

Who do you think it is?

[Lester Nare @lesternare]

Apparently @claudeai Mythos "broke into almost all of our classified systems, not in weeks, but in hours" at the NSA.

Wow.

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

BURLISON FILES UAP REVIEW BOARD PROPOSAL TO HOUSE DEFENSE BILL

In the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Eric Burlison (R-MO) today (June 18, 2026) filed at the House Rules Committee, as a possible amendment to the FY 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (H.R. 8800), a 65-page proposal to establish a federal review board dedicated to locating records and materials related to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).

Burlison's amendment, cosponsored by Reps. Eli Crane (R-AZ) and Andre Carson (D-IN), is not labeled as the "UAP Disclosure Act" (UAPDA), but it largely tracks proposals that carried that name in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Burlison’s proposal would fold in the "UAP Records Collection" framework in the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), enacted as a compromise in late 2023. But Burlison's proposal would go much further, creating a temporary federal agency and nine-member board, with members nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. This agency would be empowered to search out UAP-related records and materials for the purpose of orderly public disclosure, subject to some constraints.

The proposed Review Board would have authority to issue subpoenas in some circumstances and to request Attorney General-issued subpoenas in others. A provision objected to by some UFO-oriented groups in past years, allowing the government to seize materials deemed to be of non-human origin through the exercise of the power of eminent domain, remains in the amendment.

Burlison's amendment does NOT contain the "findings, declarations, and purposes" that were part of the original "UAP Disclosure Act" unveiled in the Senate in July 2023 by Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Mike Rounds (R-SD). Those provisions, much quoted in ufological circles, suggested the existence of UAP records hidden from proper oversight through excessive classification, and asserted that the legislation was "necessary to restore proper oversight over unidentified anomalous phenomena records by elected officials in both the executive and legislative branches of the Federal Government that has otherwise been lacking..."

Still, Burlison's new version retains multiple provisions that refer repeatedly to "non-human intelligence," which the amendment defines as meaning "any sentient intelligent non-human lifeform regardless of nature or ultimate origin that may be presumed responsible for unidentified anomalous phenomena or of which the Federal Government has become aware."

The proposal also refers repeatedly to "technologies of unknown origin," defined to include devices "incorporating science and technology that lacks prosaic attribution or known means of human manufacture."

The Rules Committee may meet the week of June 29 to decide which amendments may be considered when the full House takes up H.R. 8800, which could occur the same week. Over 1,100 proposed amendments had been filed with the House Rules Committee by the "deadline" at 5 PM today (June 18, 2026), and some additional amendments are generally accepted late. Based on the practice in previous years, however, only a fraction of the amendments filed will be made in order for floor consideration. UAPDA amendments were not made in order when they were filed at Rules in 2024 (by Rep. Robert Garcia, D-CA) and in 2025 (by Burlison).

The complete text of the Burlison amendment (amendment no. 1044 on the House Rules Committee list of amendments to H.R. 8800) can be downloaded through the link in the first reply.

Questions or comments dealing directly with the substance of this or related legislative proposals, or the legislative process being employed, are welcome below, although I cannot always answer questions rapidly. Discussion of other UAP matters or personalities does not belong in this thread; those who egregiously violate this advisory may be blocked.

I believe my interaction with @TheDylanBorland should not be buried in the thread below. I want to thank him for his thoughtful response, and have pursued exactly what he recommended.

Please see the below, if you are interested...

@sentdefender @uncertainvector do you have an opinion on this?

[Abbas @aboss]

@chrisschmitz The color palette is set to 2, which is Black Hot for a 10 micron thermal scope. This wouldn't be "anti thermal" tech

@theblackvault How did you handle the OCR/handwriting problem?

Guessing this is what Lacatski is getting at in terms of files👇 . There were two mock-ups of what a DPIA witness claimed were USAP UFO program files. probably done from his memory of viewing them. The program names were "Hong-Luey" & "Hangar Bully". real or not idk

[Abbas @aboss]

@robjonesreports Hey - you wouldn’t happen to know what happened to seabritain? I’m just now reading his articles. They are fascinating.

[Eric Burlison @EricBurlison]

IMHO this is the most important record released today.

As for KB, I was aware of the KB effort through others that were part of AAWSAP and AATIP before. Because this was not my program and was under DHS, I offered support where needed but I wasn’t really involved with it.

With this in mind, please understand that the lines were not always clean. Some who worked in AAWSAP also worked in AATIP, while there were others (including me) that were only part of AATIP. And then there were some that were part of all three efforts, AAWSAP, AATIP, and KB.

Please keep in mind that any public details involving programs must be cleared through DoDOPSR. So for this reason the synopsis above has already been cleared (as I did when I wrote Imminent and when Lacatski wrote his book) but any other details would need to go through the entire review process all over again which is excruciatingly cumbersome.

Hope this helps…

[Lue Elizondo @LueElizondo]

Joe, I completely sympathize with those who are confused. In fact, there is definitely some blurring of the lines and grey areas. Let me see if this helps.

1. AAWSAP was the original contract vehicle that was approved and executed in 2008, although discussions occurred before that from my understanding. This included BAAS as the primary contractor. Focus included UAP and anomalies at Skin Walker Ranch

2. AATIP was created to focus solely on military encounters with UAP. The 2009 memo demonstrates this. Keep in mind that justifying the spending of military resources (people, travel, time, etc) requires a military focus. This means showing a clear connection to military equities. The perfect example is the Nimitz incident and investigation that Jay conducted. I was part of AATIP already but focusing on the security element.

3. From 2009 to 2012 both AATIP and AAWSAP were run simultaneously. Meaning, AAWSAP was focusing on the ranch and some archival UAP cases (for which I was not part of so I can’t really speak to any degree of authority involving AAWSAP. As for me, at AATIP we were focused on military encounters with UAP which there were many.

4. In 2012, funding for AAWSAP ended and from my understanding those efforts ended (I could be wrong here because I wasnt really involved with that effort. With the finding done for AAWSAP, AATIP continued. In 2013 and 2014, we had another 10 million that was provided to us (AATIP) through appropriations but the language was vague and so the money didn’t come to us and instead taken by another element in USD(I), much to our disappointment. Fortunately I managed activities that allowed me to use our own resources to keep the program alive. By this point, we had plenty of military incidents to review and triage.

5. AATIP continued throughout 2014, 2015, and 2016 but it became clear to me, Jay, and others we would need more resources and more top cover. We also wanted the Air Force to authorize material transfer from specific aerospace contractors to AATIP. Those elements said we needed a new memo from SecAF to replace an existing one that directed these contractors to maintain the material. We were unsuccessful getting that memo from SecAf.

6. When Gen Mattis became SecDef I saw it as an opportunity to see if we could get a memo from the SecDef, thereby trumping (forgive the pun) the SecAf. To do this, we would need to brief his staff. Please keep in mind that all the while AATIP had been placed into DoD control systems but very few people in the new chain of command were even aware of it. So this was the perfect opportunity to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. I.e. get top cover at the highest level while also getting a memo signed by SecDef to allow certain contractors to hand over the material they said they already had. Chris Mellon knew folks in the SecDef front office and introduced us. I already had served with Mattis overseas but I didn’t know anyone in his front office so Chris’ help was invaluable.

7. Jay and I along with our colleagues kept running into roadblocks with initiatives such as Interloper. As such, in 2017 we decided one of us would have to break cover in order to get the Secretary’s attention to this important matter. We decided it would be me that would go public while Jay remained in the shadows to continue AATIP from inside.

8. I believe it was in 2018 Jay becomes the new UAP Task Force Director. Unfortunately he faced sharp resistance from my old leadership but that is his story to tell because I was gone by then.
