So you definitely need to keep your facts straight and remember that everything you're saying is for the record and it's indelible, meaning those words will be there forever, long after I'm gone and whatnot. So... It's important that we communicate clearly. But at the same time, you're right. I have a security clearance, and I cannot violate that security clearance.
The Pentagon was very, very specific with me on what I can and cannot say in an open hearing. And so that's why you saw me a few times when I said, look, I prefer to have that discussion in a closed session. Because then we can start talking about some of the classified nuances of what they're asking me.

And by the way, it's a bit of a precarious situation because, you know, if you don't say enough, then Congress feels that it's kind of like fast food, right? You feel full, but you're not really satisfied. You get some information, but you're not really getting what you're asking for. But at the same timeβ If I'm overly specific, then I can get in trouble with the U.S. government.

Yeah, unfortunately, that's not the case. The public's never happy with half information. And I understand that. You know, frankly, I would get frustrated too. But if you look at this conversation as it's kind of evolved over the last, let's say, seven years, I think we've come further in this conversation in the last seven than perhaps over the last 70 years.

UAP is basically the new word for the old term UFO or unidentified flying object. It was changed to UAP some time ago. One was because of the stigma, the taboo and stigma surrounding UFO.

What we're talking about are things that are being intelligently controlled that can fly over controlled U.S. airspace with complete anonymity And potentially over our sensitive military installations and have the ability to even interfere with our nuclear equities.
