Here are some statements though to kick off from some notable folks because a lot of news to touch on, very much all of it related in this show.

And then an interview is also tagged on the end for you, but we'll get to that.

Let's read some statements from the 8th of May.

Luis Elizondo, former head of ATIP.

said this is a historic day with the president's mandate coming to fruition and a historic moment for humans and a paradigm shift for humanity a huge thank you to the president for championing this effort a big congratulations to the task force on the declassification of federal secrets and a salute to the department of war NASA ODNI and the FBI on this whole of government approach to greater transparency and disclosure

Similar thoughts came across from various other folks, including pilot Ryan Graves.

I bought Ryan a drink at the Sol meeting back in October.

Really nice guy, got to sit and chat to him for a good hour on the couch.

He said, today's DOW UAP release is a meaningful step toward transparency.

He goes on to thank Anna Polina Luna, Tim Burchett, Eric Burleson, Jared Moskowitz and the many others behind the scenes for your steadfast efforts to advance accountability, aircrew safety and the public's right to know.

I'm excited to see what more comes.

Tom DeLonge made some comments and I'm going to play you the clip in just a second.

He reacted with real optimism on his Instagram saying the files drop shows the government is now formally investigating and releasing UAP material.

And while he doesn't expect perfect answers overnight, he does see this as the kind of process which could lead to much bigger truths over time.

I'm going to play you that clip for you right now.

Here's Tom DeLonge.

So yeah, some interesting comments from various folks around the world on UFOs and many more to come.

I'm going to jump into some comments and analysis from Ross Coulter and a few stories from him actually.

Over on News Nation and his Reality Check show, he done a bit of a deep dive into the files with a few big names providing their early thoughts and analysis.

Early on in the piece, Ross Coulthard says the president himself is intimidated by the military-industrial complex and that we shouldn't expect too much from these releases.
