Congress Initiates Plan To Reveal Recovered ‘Technologies Of Unknown Origin And Biological Evidence Of Non-Human Intelligence’
Senate Leader Chuck Schumer
Written by Christopher Sharp - 15 July 2023
In a historic development relating to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has introduced legislation creating what will become a Review Board dedicated to the disclosure of UAP information and materials.
Senator Schumer is the most senior member of the Senate to engage in the UAP topic, following in the footsteps of former Senate Leader Harry Reid.
Commenting on the legislation Senator Schumer said:
“The American public has a right to learn about technologies of unknown origins, non-human intelligence, and unexplainable phenomena.”
The Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Review Board, comprised of nine U.S. citizens nominated by the President will have the authority to assess and advise on the release of UAP information and records. Additionally, any potential biological evidence indicating non-human intelligences and the craft they operate may be disclosed to the public.
The Review Board will have authority in law equivalent to an independent agency reporting directly to the President.
Sources have disclosed to Liberation Times that, although fronting the new legislation, Senator Chuck Schumer’s staff and others in the Senate have been in coordination with various quarters of the U.S. government, including the White House and its National Security Council to create the language.
Speaking to Liberation Times, journalist and filmmaker Jeremy Corbell stated:
‘This language is an ATOMIC BOMB. It was generated to force momentum in the direction of UAP transparency, and to inform future inquiry into the apparent decades-long UFO coverup.
‘I can tell you from an inside perspective, seeing this language crafted so precisely, that there is purpose behind every word in this new proposed legislation. What we should be asking is this - what is known by those who are forcing the issue behind the scenes to expose these illegal UAP programs?’
Under the plan, any materials or biological evidence of unknown origin or non-human origin would be subject to the power of eminent domain exercised by the U.S. Federal Government, meaning Lockheed Martin or any other aerospace company that might be in possession would be required to surrender them to the Government.
Liberation Times asked Lockheed Martin if failure to disclose potential non-Earth origin or exotic material would be in breach of SEC corporate disclosure laws. In response, a Lockheed spokesperson stated:
“Questions about UAPs are best addressed by the U.S. government.”
However, the spokesperson did add:
“We comply with all regulatory requirements.”
Under the current Senate versions of the Intelligence Authorization Act and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), any organizations that possess UAP-related materials would have an amnesty period of 60 days once the law is passed to disclose such materials.
Liberation Times understands that employees within major aerospace corporations are under increased pressure not to speak to journalists due to the heightened media scrutiny into allegations that they may possess UAP materials.
Liberation Times also contacted Battelle, BAE Systems, and Northrop Grumman regarding the new UAP legislation, but all have declined to comment.
The newly established Review Board will also have the authority to question witnesses, close observers, and whistleblowers in relation to UAP. Such persons will be afforded the same protections as UAP whistleblowers coming forward to the Pentagon’s UAP office known as the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) under last year’s NDAA.
Despite the new push for transparency, there do remain questions regarding what can be released under the current classification system.
Christopher Mellon, Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, commented:
‘Although this is very encouraging, until & unless the overly restrictive UAP security classification guide is revised, there will be little public benefit as virtually all recent data, including UAP videos, will be classified. Congress should press ahead for this guidance to be revised.’
The members of the Review Board will be nominated by the President no later than 90 calendar days after the NDAA (which would contain the language) is signed into law. Typically, the NDAA is signed into law in December. If that holds true, nominations can be expected before April 2024.
The Senate's Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, which will oversee the Review Board, will subsequently conduct hearings to confirm the appointment of members nominated by the President.
Members of the Review Board will include at least:
One current or former national security official
One current or former foreign service official
One scientist or engineer
One economist
One professional historian
One sociologist.
Of interest, such would be the potential fall-out from disclosing non-human intelligence, a sociologist could provide insight into the societal and cultural implications of such disclosure. And an economist could provide insight into the economic repercussions.
One of the nine members, an Executive Director, will serve as a Chairperson of the Board, principal liaison to the Executive Office of the President and the Congress, and tie-breaker for decisions wherein Review Board members may disagree on UAP record disclosure.
A representative from the National Declassification Center will advise and support the nine Review Board members in their record review process in a non-voting staff capacity.
The U.S. President retains the sole and nondelegable authority to reject or accept the recommendations made by the Review Board, albeit under explicit grounds for postponement set forth in the Act in order to protect national security.
To aid in evaluating the information and materials provided, the Review Board will also have the ability to establish advisory committees. Such committees could prove crucial, particularly when dealing with the realms of defense, intelligence, and potentially religion, in the event that the existence of non-human intelligence can be substantiated.
Other significantly notable aspects of the newly proposed NDAA language are its definitions.
‘Non-Human Intelligence’ is defined as:
‘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.’
As of now, the Pentagon has stated that its UAP office known as the AARO has not discovered any materials of non-human origin.
However, it has yet to comment on whether materials of unknown origin have been discovered. And it is this term which is also included within the newly proposed language.
Technologies of ‘Unknown Origin’ are defined as follows:
‘Any materials or meta-materials, ejecta, crash debris, mechanisms, machinery, equipment, assemblies or sub-assemblies, engineering models or processes, damaged or intact aerospace vehicles, and damaged or intact ocean-surface and undersea craft associated with unidentified anomalous phenomena or incorporating science and technology that lacks prosaic attribution or known means of human manufacture.’
A UAP Congressional Public Hearing is expected to take place within the House Oversight Committee on 26 July 2023 as reported by journalist Matt Laslo. It is also possible that the Hearing may also occur within one of its Subcommittees.
An announcement regarding the hearing date is anticipated prior to it occurring, but the timing of that is unknown.
Discussing the public hearing, Jeremy Corbell shared with Liberation Times:
‘It is no secret that I have personally been working diligently to make sure we have bipartisan hearings, with witnesses directly testifying to their first-hand experiences. We are millimeters away from an announcement on who you will be seeing in those historic and open hearings.
‘The difference this time compared to other hearings, is that the public might just learn something. These will NOT be bureaucrats testifying with an agenda of opacity, but rather those seeking to shine a light for UAP transparency. This will be a powerful step forward, as it’s never happened in the history of our world. The truth about UAP, its time has come.’
One thing is evidently clear from the newly proposed legislation: the Pentagon and its UAP investigation, the AARO, are not perceived to be sufficient in providing transparency to the American people.
The new Review Board, in many ways, duplicates activities already undertaken by the AARO, such as taking witness testimony and investigating past records related to UAP. Although the AARO is still expected to play a role, at least in the investigation of new and previous cases.
Previously relegated under the jurisdiction of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, the issue of potential non-human intelligence now rests with the U.S. President.
The involvement of such senior officials is no accident or mistake. Serious people within the government are now putting major political capital into the topic of UAP.
