Government investigations; congressional inquiries; impeachments. Deeper dives here:

[Ross Garber @rossgarber]

Yes. Although Kirkpatrick and Phillips haven't been clear on whether AARO did a thorough inquiry about the origin, extent, and implications of "Yankee Blue." At the same time, Grusch and most others who claim aliens and a reverse-engineering program haven't publicly disclosed the basis for their knowledge. If the Kirkpatrick Yankee Blue narrative is true, it's possible it impacted Grusch's claims.

Regardless, @ddeanjohnson is right that the Yankee Blue story (a senior Pentagon official claiming that for decades Air Force officers were duped into believing that our government had knowledge of aliens and was reverse-engineering their tech) is pretty significant.

[Ross Garber @rossgarber]

Former AARO director says he told Congress that Air Force officers were given fake alien briefings for decades and sworn to secrecy. Who in Congress did he tell? What did he tell them? Did he provide them the fake briefing documents? Why haven’t members of Congress disclosed this? @EricBurlison @timburchett @realannapaulina @JamesComer

[D. Dean Johnson @ddeanjohnson]

As far as I know, the government has not yet released any relevant documents on "Yankee Blue" via FOIA or otherwise. As I understand it, the Air Force was able to keep the matter out of the unclassified AARO historical report vol. 1 (early 2024), ostensibly while the Air Force inspector general investigated it further -- but it was supposed to appear in volume 2, which is now a couple of years overdue. (Why is that?)

Former AARO director Sean Kirkpatrick talked about "Yankee Blue" in greater detail than I'd heard before during his April 9, 2026 presentation to the National Capital Area Skeptics.

@The_Astral_ Watch out for words like “briefing” and “SCIF” and “senior official” and “whistleblower.” They are invoked like talismans on this topic, but are actually meaningless in any effort to evaluate whether claims are true.

@DouthatNYT does a nice job in this interview

On UAP oversight, @realannapaulina told @DouthatNYT that the significant UFO videos she has seen in classified settings have now been declassified and released. No big videos left.

[Ross Garber @rossgarber]

Report goes 2 full minutes on a bizarre premise citing no credible source before a guest who knows nothing about the subject smirks and says it's probably BS.

Harvard professor Avi Loeb joins @jessecordweber to discuss claims the CIA attempted to use 23andMe and Ancestry .com to search for aliens. MORE: https://t.co/AYfIuYTMKD

As the Pentagon releases more UAP info, keep in mind what those previously in charge of the military’s UAP disclosure effort have said about UAP disinformation and cover up.

[Ross Garber @rossgarber]

Both former heads of the Pentagon's UAP office — Sean Kirkpatrick and Tim Phillips — have now responded on the record to my Substack series on UAP oversight. (excellent work @ddeanjohnson)

Kirkpatrick minimized fake Air Force briefings on alien technology as a "hazing" prank. But Phillips said its discovery "made a lot of DOD officials nervous," the Air Force pushed back on AARO's investigation, and he briefed the DNI and DEPSEC.

Part 3 of my series drops Monday. Link in Bio for parts 1 and 2.

NEW: The WSJ published a blockbuster report: the Air Force ran a psyop on its own senior officers. Briefing them into a fake classified program about purported alien technology.

The WSJ stopped reporting the story. A promised Pentagon report never came.

I picked it up. 🧵

[Ross Garber @rossgarber]

@MiddleOfMayhem @LeadingReport And it is a House "task force" without subpoena power or a dedicated staff or budget. (Not a committee or subcommittee.)

[Ross Garber @rossgarber]

@realannapaulina @MvonRen @DeptofWar Former AARO directors say AARO briefed Congress on this. True? @timburchett @realannapaulina @EricBurlison @RepEricBurlison

[Ross Garber @rossgarber]

@realannapaulina @MvonRen @DeptofWar Will he immediately release the information his predecessors say they discovered concerning an alleged large-scale effort by Air Force officials to deceive others about UAP and extraterrestrials, and which his predecessors say DoW and the Air Force has concealed?

[Ross Garber @rossgarber]

This interviewer does an excellent job. @Dan_Farah says he’s convinced aliens exist because some government folks told him so, mostly off the record. Puthoff says he’s convinced aliens exist because he doesn’t understand the physics/engineering of how certain craft move and thinks aliens are the most logical explanation.

The interviewer seems genuinely curious and open minded. (As am I.)

There is substantial evidence that there are craft that move in ways most people, even sophisticated military officials and scientists, don’t understand. There is also much evidence of US govt coverups and disinfo activities on the subject.

This doesn’t answer the question of who designed, built, and control the advanced craft. US companies? Other countries? (Doesn’t have to be aliens.)

Important to separate those questions.

[Skywatch Signal @UAPWatchers]

🚨Dr. Hal Puthoff and filmmaker Dan Farah reveal there at least 4 different types of life

Puthoff: "People who have been involved in recoveries have said there at least four types. Four separate types. Now I have not had direct access to that but I I believe the people who I talked to four different types of life. Four different types of life at least."

Appreciate the sentiment, but not really. Certainly not yet.
For example, former AARO leaders say they discovered a massive effort to deceive military officials about UAP and aliens, and that this has been covered up at the request of the Air Force. None of this info has been made public, but could impact evaluation of info govt is now releasing. More here.

@walterkirn Why write in riddles? You’re not alone in this. It’s prevalent in ufo/nhi journalism. This is an earnest question.

[Ross Garber @rossgarber]

@HurrCat @GenomicSETI They certainly would

[Ross Garber @rossgarber]

On the UAP release, if the goal is transparency, why not simultaneously release the govt’s analysis of the released info?

[Ross Garber @rossgarber]

@disclosureorg @DOWResponse But Kirkpatrick has also said many Air Force officers were provided (false) briefings on aliens and reverse engineering projects and that Air Force and Department of War is covering this info up. Maybe start with this.

[Ross Garber @rossgarber]

@disclosureorg @POTUS @DOWResponse @RapidResponse47 @RepLuna House leadership wouldn’t authorize a subpoena to admin on this issue. And couldn’t enforce a subpoena if it were issued.

Report: White House lawyers prep staff for dealing with a Democratic Congress

But are they acting as if the attorney-client privilege applies? Previous admis didn’t, which I think is a mistake. Unclear if priv applies before Congress. And DC Circuit said no ac privilege for White House counsel in grand jury investigation . But there is a circuit split. And scotus hasn’t considered issue.
