Those records were declassified over a year ago and there are likely more waiting to be released at the National Archives. It seems that the government's focus is on showcasing War.gov and Trump's "PURSUE" UAP records release. Allowing UAP records to appear elsewhere would detract from that. (3/3)

If records relevant to UAP are found, I hope that the Disclosure Foundation pushes for these to be transferred to the National Archives for release to their UAP Records Collection in accordance with the 2024 NDAA.

It’s disappointing that they let the UAP Records Collection from the 2024 NDAA fall through the cracks. More legislation is necessary, but no one is addressing legislation already passed. The release of records at NARA are currently past due and records seem to be diverted to the PURSUE release.
