Pursue UAP Release #6 - The UFO Files The Government Still Can’t Find

Summary

George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell dissect the sixth government UAP release under the Pentagon's PURSUE program, arguing that most of it is old material stripped of useful data. They trace today's UFO stigma back to the CIA's 1953 Robertson Panel and the iconic 1952 Tremonton, Utah footage. They also examine official claims that the DIA cannot locate records from AAWSAP, the $22 million Pentagon UFO program linked to Skinwalker Ranch, along with Air Force OSI's failure to produce footage of a giant triangular craft over a military base.

Key takeaways

• 1The 1952 Tremonton, Utah film by Navy photographer Delbert Newhouse showed 12-16 objects; Navy analysts spent about 1,000 hours on it, estimated speeds of 300-600 mph, and ruled out balloons and seagulls.
• 2The CIA-created Robertson Panel (January 1953), led by Caltech's H.P. Robertson, recommended debunking UFOs, considered using Disney and TV host Arthur Godfrey, and advised surveilling civilian UFO groups.
• 3The hosts claim CIA agents infiltrated the civilian group NICAP and were elected to its leadership.
• 4A New York Post article cited specific Intelligence Information Report (IIR) numbers about a roughly 100-ft triangular craft over a military base. Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Joel Valdez said Air Force OSI could not find the footage, even though the reports reportedly direct readers to an OSI office in Colorado Springs for copies.
• 5White House officials told Fox's Peter Doocy that the DIA cannot find AAWSAP records. James Lacatski says all references were scanned electronically at DIA when he retired in 2016.
• 6AAWSAP produced 38 Defense Intelligence Reference Documents (DIRDs). About half of its $22 million went to Jacques Vallée's 'Capella' data warehouse, and Skinwalker Ranch was not the program's main focus.
• 7A DIRD on biological effects drew on data about witnesses physically harmed by close proximity to UAPs. AAWSAP reports totaled about 70,000 pages, condensed to 7,500, and are described in the book 'Skinwalkers at the Pentagon.'

Transcript excerpt

There is a newly declassified copy of an expense report, a line by line expense report going through the $22 million that the DIA spent to investigate repeated yearslong claims over something called Skinw Walker Ranch. Senior White House officials are telling me they cannot find any copy of the records. you know, the this the statements that the White House reached out to the DIA and gosh darn it, they just can't find any of these OAP documents. And then there were all these news reports about the DERS. Holy cow, look at these that are out now. So, you'll recall, Jeremy, we started releasing DURDS in May of 2018. When I left, all of our references were electronically, specifically scanned in electronically at DIA. This is Weaponized. I'm George Knap, lounging around here in Las Vegas. Jeremy Corbel, are you lolly gagging in Southern California somewhere? Yes, I am. I don't think you're lounging. I think you're working hard. But I saw you on a new Bigalow podcast today. So trying to share the wealth, you know, or keep myself busy and out of trouble. Let's talk about this last release, uh, the sixth trench that was unccorked on Friday. What did you think? What's your first reaction to it? Yeah, I mean, look, I love every time that we get new information or even if older information gets put into the public consciousness directly by our government. remember when we started releasing stuff, a lot of people were were doubting that what we were receiving really was even military film footage. So when and it all was, but now when our government puts it out, it kind of relieves that pressure. ...
