Whilst the war in Ukraine escalates, things seem quieter than usual when it comes to Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).
However, the movement continues to occur behind the scenes.
Although there was some hope that both the National Defense Authorization Act 2023 (NDAA) and Intelligence Authorization Act 2023 (IAA) would pass before the midterm elections in November 2022, it is now likely that the legislation is passed in December.
Between now and December, we may see further amendments to the NDAA and IAA, potentially tightening and adding to the current UAP language. And as Dean Johnson recently posted, there is some possibility that the IAA is attached to the NDAA, meaning both pieces of legislation pass at the same time.*
As for midterms races, Democrats are slightly favoured to retain the Senate, whilst Republicans are slightly favoured to win the House. If correct, then Representative Mike Turner (Republican - Ohio), who represents and has a close relationship with Wright Patterson Air Force Base, would become Chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. However, it must be stressed that his views on UAP are not known publicly.

Another politician to keep a close eye on is Senator Marco Rubio (Republican - Florida), Vice Chair of the Senate’s Intelligence Committee and a leading advocate for previous UAP legislation. He faces a tight race in Florida and could potentially lose to Democrat Val Demings.
Demings is a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and attended the classified hearing on UAP in May 2022. Following that meeting, Demings commented**:
“As a former chief of police there’s nothing I take more seriously than the safety and security of the American people. We will always investigate any potential threat from our adversaries. The top goals of this investigation are seriousness, transparency, and national security. Just because something is unidentified doesn’t mean that it’s unidentifiable, and truth must always be a precondition to good policy.
“By treating this issue seriously, working with Pentagon experts, and empowering witnesses and hard evidence, we can find answers, ensure the integrity of American airspace, counter global threats, and keep Americans safe at home and abroad. I will continue to work with the Pentagon and our intelligence agencies on this important issue.”
What Next For AARO?
Liberation Times understands that any expected public report in October 2022 from the DoD-led UAP Office named the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), may be hugely underwhelming. Some sources have also raised the possibility of the report being delayed, due to the AARO’s lack of resources for most of 2022.
The fate of the AARO’s Twitter page, which has remained inactive since July 2022 may be called into question soon.
If legislation in its current form passes in December 2022, the name AARO will be scrapped and replaced with the Unidentified Aerospace-undersea Phenomena Joint Program Office (UAPJPO). And if that occurs, it is quite possible that the Twitter page is deleted or possibly renamed.
The IAA in its current form would also create a core group consisting of representatives from:
The Central Intelligence Agency
The National Security Agency
The Department of Energy
The National Reconnaissance Office
The Air Force
The Space Force
The Defense Intelligence Agency
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency
Department of Homeland Security (new addition)
If enacted in its current form, it will be difficult for any of the above organisations to retain distance from the issue of UAP.
Former AATIP Director, Lue Elizondo, who was confirmed to be advising Space Force on ‘classified topics’, recently told Liberation Times that Space Force does take the issue of UAP very seriously, commenting:
“The men and women at U.S. Space Force are some of the most capable and patriotic individuals I know and let it be known to all that may ask, they are taking the topic of UAPs very seriously and should be commended for their efforts.”
It is understood by Liberation Times (as backed up in recent explanatory language from the Senate) that there has been an exponential increase of UAP activity. With tensions heightened in Taiwan and Ukraine, unknown craft could pose risks, due to misunderstanding, leading to potential hostilities.
As for the U.S. Space Force, its new Chief of Space Operations, General Bradley Chance Saltzman, has now been confirmed by the Senate. And he could be a potential ally for the UAP cause.
Of interest, incoming Space Force Chief Saltzman has served as a Minuteman III launch officer, and at Malmstrom, in addition to being a National Reconnaissance Office satellite operator.
UAPs have reportedly deactivated minuteman nuclear weapons systems according to testimony from veterans, including former Malmstrom Air Force Base nuclear missile launch control officer, Robert Salas.
