UFO Disclosure End Game

Written by Christopher Sharp - 8 January 2025

Things could move fast in the coming weeks and months.

The incoming Trump administration must act decisively to disclose information about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). 

The stakes have never been higher, with advocates and sceptics vying for influence within the government. 

Appointing UAP advocates and whistleblowers like Karl Nell, Lue Elizondo, and Dave Grusch to lead these efforts from within the National Security Council could be a game-changer, helping shape policy and efforts to navigate around gatekeepers to alleged rogue UAP retrieval and reverse engineering programs.

That could be a reality, as such figures do have positive relationships with key Donald Trump associates and family members, with Elizondo having appeared on Donald Trump Jr’s podcast on two occasions.

The signs that the Trump administration will take action are positive when looking at the team President-elect Trump is building. 

If Senate confirmations go as planned, pro-disclosure advocates could fill key roles in Trump’s Cabinet. 

Figures like incoming CIA Director John Ratcliffe and presumptive Secretary of State Marco Rubio are likely to push for greater White House transparency on UAP matters - the same is true of incoming Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr, who will likely for declassification of files relating to the assassination of his late uncle, President John F Kennedy (JFK). 

All three will need to be confirmed by the Senate before being appointed to their roles.

Another pivotal figure will be National Security Advisor Mike Waltz - who does not need to be confirmed by the Senate - meaning he will be ready to work on the UAP issue from day one if required.

Waltz, a former Green Beret and current Congressman, will hold a central role, coordinating efforts within the National Security Council.  

He will have the ear of the President and advise him on security and foreign affairs issues daily. 

Despite past resistance to UAP legislation by the House Intelligence Committee - which Waltz has been a member of - he has shown potential as a UAP advocate. 

In 2023, addressing allegations from a former senior intelligence officer, David Grusch, of covert and rogue UAP programs by the U.S. government, Waltz stated:

“We have been assured it’s not our systems,” and added, “That means that it’s either our adversaries have things with capabilities that we weren’t aware of, and that we can’t explain, or it’s otherworldly.”

“Either way, I want to know and the American people deserve to know what the hell it is,” he declared.

Waltz’s close ties to UAP transparency champion Mike Gallagher add another layer of intrigue. 

Gallagher, now leading defense operations at Palantir, has supported UAP transparency—he was the star of the 2022 UAP House hearing and is responsible for adding the Wilson/Davis document to the Congressional record

One of Palantir’s founders, Peter Thiel, a venture capitalist and political activist, has also financially backed Waltz’s Congressional campaigns.

Sources tell Liberation Times that Peter Thiel is a key advocate for UAP transparency. 

Behind the scenes, sources say Thiel has championed efforts to ensure alleged non-human materials are made accessible to a greater number of engineers and scientists, aiming to accelerate breakthroughs in reverse engineering.

Another key player could be Steve Feinberg, nominated as Deputy Secretary of Defense

Feinberg, co-CEO of Cerberus Capital Management LP, is poised to oversee the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), which currently resides within the Deputy Secretary of Defense’s office . 

Feinberg previously served on an intelligence advisory board during Trump’s first term, potentially granting him insight into UAP-related matters. 

Critics may fear his ties to Cerberus-linked firms might compromise transparency, favouring companies potentially implicated in legacy programs.

Feinberg’s role in any transparency efforts will depend on how the incoming administration choose to utilise the AARO - if at all. 

Decisions must be made quickly. 

Figures like Elizondo, Nell and Grusch could potentially be utilized within the National Security Council, to manage efforts and respond to expected incoming public disclosures from government and private insiders about alleged UAP legacy programs. 

This may require bypassing or even standing the AARO down, at least in its role of investigating these alleged programs.

Liberation Times understands that key whistleblowers have already spoken out, with their testimony set for release in the coming days, weeks or months. 

And some insiders have already shed light on the potential reality of UAP and its non-human origin.

Among those shedding light on the issue is Harald Malmgren, a former advisor to JFK.

In December 2024, Malmgren thanked Liberation Times for publishing an article by Geoff Cruickshank, which claimed that the 1962 Bluegill Triple Prime nuclear test brought down a craft of non-human intelligence.

Malmgren revealed that he worked on the test as an advisor to the Joint Chiefs and praised Cruickshank’s article for ‘effectively explaining the significance of the test.’

When asked on X whether he knew a UAP had been brought down, Malmgren responded:

‘As soon as I received the report from Los Alamos in early November, at the same time as that report was made to JFK.’

This implies a JFK angle to UAP—something other sources have told Liberation Times. 

If proven true, this connection could rewrite history, especially if President-elect Trump follows through on his promise to release further JFK assassination files, despite potential opposition from the CIA.

High-level disclosure of UAP information could also transform our understanding of history, physics, and the universe itself.

A recent podcast featuring Richard Banduric, CEO of Field Propulsion Technologies, suggests that those involved in classified reverse engineering efforts involving UAP are becoming more emboldened to speak out.

Appearing on the Ecosystemic Podcast in December 2024 (alongside Rima Oueid from the Department of Energy), Banduric, described as a ‘lead developer of next-generation propellant-less propulsion devices,’ stated: 

“Forty years ago, I was involved in a company that used to do reverse engineering. And one of the things that came out of [that experience] was that some of the NGOs that were trying to reverse engineer advanced technologies [reached out to us] to take a look at some of the stuff they had.”

Banduric became deeply curious, as the materials he encountered were “definitely way more advanced than [the] stuff we actually have.” 

He noted being pulled into classified programs, where he sought to determine whether the U.S. government was utilizing these technologies. 

“It turned out that my conclusion was [that] the U.S. government was not,” he remarked.

He further elaborated on his observations, describing materials with extraordinary capabilities such as self-reconfiguration, cloaking, and the ability to disintegrate into dust when reverse-engineered. 

“The isotropic analysis of the dust left behind tells you it's extraterrestrial—or at least that it was manufactured somewhere off Earth,” Banduric explained.

Banduric described these materials as “hundreds of years more advanced” than current human technology, with construction methods beyond the capabilities of even the largest aerospace corporations. 

He concluded that such advanced materials often serve to prevent reverse engineering, with mechanisms seemingly designed to thwart human attempts to uncover their secrets. 

“These weren’t just decades ahead of us—they were likely hundreds of years more advanced,” he stated, highlighting the monumental challenges and implications of these discoveries if they can be verified outside of the classified world.

The implications of upcoming disclosures extend beyond scientific advancement.

They challenge our understanding of human history, governance, and humanity's place in the universe. 

These revelations could pave the way for new fields such as Xenoscience, Exopolitics, Astrobiology, and Exotheology.

With the right steps, the Trump administration has an opportunity to lead a groundbreaking effort—one that could reshape the human story.
