UAP Disclosure: The Community’s Fight Against a Wall of Silence

March 14, 2025

I feel the UAP community’s frustration deep in my bones—it’s like we’re slamming our heads against a brick wall, screaming for answers while the government plays hide-and-seek. Decades have passed, generations have lived and died, and we’re still waiting for disclosure. Podcasts buzz, X lights up with theories, and if we held a vote, I’m convinced most would shout, “Yes, we’re ready!” But the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) barely budges, and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna’s declassification task force hasn’t cracked the UAP vault yet. I’m following the money trail, diving into DARPA and the military-industrial complex, but the secrecy runs deep. How can we, as a community, pull together to get the transparency we deserve?

AARO’s latest report, released in November 2024, sums up their stance—757 new cases, only 21 unexplained, and the rest are just drones or balloons, per their public findings at AARO’s Latest Report. That’s it. No juicy details, no fresh cases to dig into. I can’t help but think of older incidents, like the 2004 USS Nimitz “Tic Tac” or the 2015 USS Roosevelt encounters, which whistleblowers brought to light. David Grusch, a former Air Force officer and intelligence official, testified before Congress in July 2023, alleging a “multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse-engineering program,” per CBS News. His bravery sparked a wave of hope, giving the community a rare glimpse into possible government cover-ups. Lue Elizondo, a former Pentagon official who led the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), pushed the UAP issue into the mainstream by releasing videos in 2017 and speaking out about unexplained aerial phenomena, per EarthSky. His efforts helped destigmatize reporting. Richard Doty, a retired Air Force Office of Special Investigations agent, stirred controversy in the 1980s with claims of UFO cover-ups, though his credibility’s debated due to alleged disinformation—still, he fueled early community interest. Bob Lazar, a physicist, shocked the community in 1989 by claiming he worked at Area 51, reverse-engineering alien spacecraft, per KLAS-TV. His story, despite lacking official proof, ignited widespread curiosity and spurred decades of research, shaping the UAP movement. AARO calls these cases “unexplained” but offers nothing new. They’ve got 366 reports since 2022, yet they hide behind “national security,” as Director Jon Kosloski noted in a November 2024 roundtable, per EarthSky. It feels like they’re just stringing us along, and I question if this is a deliberate stall tactic to protect vested interests.

Luna’s task force gives me a flicker of hope, but it’s dim. They’ve requested UAP documents from agencies like the Department of Defense and CIA, as reported by MeriTalk on February 24, 2025. But as of today, nothing’s been released. Their first hearing, set for March 26, 2025, isn’t even about UAP—it’s focused on the JFK assassination, per the House Oversight Committee’s February 19 update at House Oversight Committee. Luna’s promised UAP hearings with names like Grusch and Elizondo, per Ask a Pol on February 11, 2025, but we’re still waiting. The National Archives is supposed to collect UAP records by September 30, 2025, per their October 2024 guidance at NARA UAP Guidance, but they had no records as of last fall. I thought we’d see progress sooner—delays like this make my blood boil, and I suspect it’s another layer of bureaucratic stonewalling.

The government’s secrecy is a maze. I’ve been following the money trail, and it leads to places like DARPA and the military-industrial complex—think big players like Lockheed Martin. They’re not eager to share, often citing ongoing investigations that drag on forever. FOIA requests are a nightmare too. You have to know exactly what to ask for, and even then, they block you with excuses like “it’s still under investigation.” I’ve seen this play out—requests get stalled for years. And whistleblowers? They’re heroes, but they pay a steep price. Look at Grusch—he’s been smeared since his 2023 testimony. Others face worse: job loss, harassment of friends and family, even threats to their lives, like Bob Lazar’s story decades ago. It’s a brutal reality that keeps many silent, and I wonder if the establishment uses this fear to silence truth-tellers.

With this frustration fueling our resolve, let’s explore how we can break through. I think the community’s strength is in its passion—we’re already loud on X and podcasts, but we need to get smarter. First, let’s crank up the pressure on Luna’s task force. Flood her office, Rep. James Comer’s, and the whole Oversight Committee with calls and messages demanding UAP hearings now. We can’t let them kick the can down the road. Next, let’s keep digging into the money trail. Form teams to file focused FOIA requests—target DARPA’s budgets, military contracts, and specific UAP incident reports. Narrow the requests to avoid rejections, like asking for “2024 AARO reports from California bases” instead of everything. If they stall, appeal together as a group. For more insights, you can watch shows like Thomas Fessler’s Disclosure Tonight channel on YouTube, where he dives into the latest UAP news and discussions with experts, keeping the community informed and engaged.

We also need to protect our whistleblowers. Set up an anonymous tip line using secure apps like Signal, so insiders can share safely. Raise funds through crowdfunding to help with legal fees or relocation if they’re targeted. Their voices—like Grusch’s claim of a “multi-decade UAP crash retrieval program”—are our best shot at cracking this open. And let’s counter the government’s excuses head-on. They always say “national security,” but if UAPs are foreign tech, why not warn us to prepare? If not, why hide it? Blast this logic on X, YouTube, everywhere—make their excuses look as flimsy as they are.

Finally, let’s build our own network. Start a UAP Alliance with local chapters in hotspot areas like California. Share data, train each other on FOIA, and support whistleblowers. We can’t wait for the feds—we need to gather our own evidence, state by state, starting with local agencies like California’s CAL FIRE or Highway Patrol. It’s a slow grind, but it’s ours. The establishment wants us tired, but I’m not giving up. Staring at the stars, I wonder who else is ready to fight. Let’s pull together, demand transparency, and share your voice at Ashesonair.org. We’ll get our answers—act now.
