What exactly is “disclosure”?
As aptly put by u/MedicatedGorilla: “I think many of you are likely familiar with the term ‘Havana Syndrome,’ but… I’ve noticed that some are frustrated because disclosure hasn’t officially occurred yet and seems to be proceeding too slowly.”
While this sentiment resonates, I find myself curious about why quotations are used around a syndrome with distinct medical or behavioral implications, yet the term “disclosure” is often taken for granted, despite its varied interpretations.
You’d think everyone knows what “disclosure” means, right?
Actually, I’m not so sure. What does “disclosure” mean to you in a specific and tangible way?
From my perspective—and I believe many here might share this understanding—”disclosure” encompasses the following three or four points:
-
The government publicly acknowledges facts that have previously been kept from the public, using clear and straightforward language.
-
It provides (a) physical evidence supporting those claims, such as proof of a “vehicle,” “crash debris,” “alien technology,” or “extraterrestrial materials,” and/or (b) “biologics” that include living organisms, deceased specimens, or biological components that demonstrate anatomy, structure, cellular makeup, or genetic material that is clearly different from any known terrestrial life.
-
Especially regarding “angelic” or “psionic” phenomena, this involves multisensory observations of at least two events that exhibit a level of “strangeness,” “physical impossibility,” or “weirdness” that cannot be rationalized by existing physical or psychological theories, and cannot be dismissed due to coincidence, misinterpretation, vagueness, or insufficient detail.
Ultimately, all evidence should be presented in a manner that allows other experts, laboratories, and institutions to examine it independently and draw their own conclusions or verify government claims.
Importantly, this definition does not hinge on peripheral matters, such as the legitimacy of MJ-12, the guilt or innocence of any parties involved, or the whereabouts of evidence held privately.
Your detailed breakdown of “disclosure” highlights the multifaceted nature of the term, especially in relation to topics like UFOs and extraterrestrial life. It’s clear that many people have different expectations and interpretations of what disclosure means, especially in a conspiratorial context.
Your points touch on a critical aspect of the debate: the need for clarity and transparency. When people demand disclosure, they often envision a straightforward acknowledgment and presentation of evidence from authoritative sources, particularly the government. The nuances you highlight—such as the requirement for physical evidence and the ability for independent verification—are crucial to fostering trust and credibility.
The distinction between mere acknowledgment of phenomena and comprehensive scientific evidence is significant. Many who push for disclosure seem to resonate with the desire for a paradigm shift in understanding, where beliefs are grounded in evidence rather than speculation.
Your perspective that disclosure should not hinge on peripheral issues is also important. Focusing solely on the evidence and its validation could lead to a more productive discourse, free from distractions related to conspiracy theories or the motivations of those involved.
Overall, your exploration of the concept certainly emphasizes the complexity of “disclosure” and invites others to reflect on their interpretations and expectations. It serves as a reminder that clarity in terminology can lead to more meaningful discussions and better understanding of the phenomena at hand.
