What’s Next: Upcoming Developments
March Anticipations
- The Skywatcher group has committed to releasing several important updates:
- A video interview and analysis of NEW UAP data, including multiple videos, along with a detailed strategy for data collection and analysis (not just cell phone footage).
- A proposed “Stages of Disclosure” framework to help gauge progress on UAP releases.
- An independent analysis of the complete dataset by a qualified third party; they are seeking recommendations for collaboration.
Looking Ahead
- Following the UAP hearing on July 26, Congress members have expressed a desire for a select committee with subpoena authority to investigate UAPs further. Mixed messages from Congress suggest uncertainty on when this may occur; a formal request was made on March 13.
- Reps. Moskowitz, Luna, and Burchett have shown intent to conduct field hearings to counteract Pentagon stonewalling, with Rep.

This week has certainly brought some significant developments in the UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) discourse! Here’s a brief recap of the highlights:
Skywatcher Release Update: Jake Barber’s update is intriguing, especially regarding the introduction of new team members and data on UAP classifications. It sounds like they are gearing up for some exciting revelations that could enhance our understanding of UAP encounters.
Change in Defense Leadership: The confirmation of Stephen Feinberg as the new Deputy Defense Secretary, who will oversee the AARO, represents a pivotal shift. Having direct oversight could lead to more streamlined reporting and transparency regarding UAP investigations.
Rep. Burlison’s Push for Transparency: Burlison’s efforts to bring David Grusch onto the oversight committee staff shows a commitment to addressing UAP issues in Congress. However, it’s concerning that UAP matters are taking a backseat to other high-profile investigations.
60 Minutes Coverage: The CBS segment on drone incursions is particularly timely, highlighting ongoing national security concerns. While not directly relating to UAPs, it underscores the need for better air-domain awareness and inter-agency cooperation.
Looking forward, it will be interesting to see the upcoming video analysis from Skywatcher, along with their proposed “Stages of Disclosure” framework. Additionally, planned field hearings by Congress, along with testimonies from witnesses regarding UAP legacy programs, could mark a significant step towards increased accountability and clarity in this area.
It feels like the momentum around UAP disclosure is building, and I’m looking forward to what the next few weeks might bring!
