This may get buried a bit at the moment, though this will be slow news to build. Following last year’s stripped down UAP amendment passed in the NDAA, Senators Rounds and Schumer have continued their efforts to pass a comprehensive law to gather, review, and release UAP records and materials to the public.

Keep in mind, the negotiations on the last NDAA went late into the year and the act didn’t pass until mid December. The UAP amendment in that act primarily focused on telling government groups to provide the National Archives with all documents related to UAP. Those will be due for release this October. However, with the stripped down amendment, there is a lack of oversight to ensure these groups follow through with the mandate.

The timing of the release of documents could at least help sway this year’s NDAA. If either significant documentation is released or there is a clear pushback, then it should warrant passing the amendment in full.

Ryan Graves gives a good breakdown on the current state of both the UAP Disclosure Act and Safe Airspace for Americans Act. While progress is being made, it's still an uphill battle getting some of the key components of the bills passed.

You can always lend your support as suggested by Ryan, noted below. Plenty of people do hear back from their reps on the matter and reaching out does help keep the topic active with them.

"To support these bills:

1. Contact your representatives. UAPCaucus.com provides an easy-to-use guide and contact list.
2. For the UAP Disclosure Act's inclusion in the 2025 NDAA, consider signing the petition created by Lue Elizondo's UAP Disclosure Fund.

Regardless of your beliefs about UAP's nature, these bills promote transparency and safety - principles that benefit everyone. The sheer volume of credible reports and high-level interest suggests there's substance here worth investigating. Supporting these bills will help bring us closer to understanding what's truly happening in our skies."

Yeah, the tilt before taking off seems to be a common theme. Searching NUFORC and MUFON turns up quite a few reports of UAP with that behavior.

Are you suggesting that the sighting was a drone, even though it was described as several hundred feet long? And the article doesn't suggest anyone is conspiring about UFOs. It's just a report of a sighting.

I imagine it's an autocorrect from missing a space in "boy scout trick". The user was responding to a lot of comments, so I think an error or two is fair.

NUFORC Report

Additional reporting from Denver Gazette.

Reddit user Lemonator8976 claims to be the witness that reported the sighting and provided some additional details.

The follow up article explains it, but basically we were working. We were loading semis full of expensive concert equipment and then one guy noticed it and pointed it out. We all looked at it and then one guy shined his flashlight on it. Then the thing tipped, moved slowly to the east and disappeared. By the time we realized what was really happening it was gone. 30 seconds max.

A big misconception is that this thing was way up in the sky. It wasn’t. It was hovering over the hill not very high off the ground. It was just off the horizon, not way up above our heads. An old boycott trick is to hold your hand up to the horizon to see how many hand lengths you have left before the sun sets. This thing was just two fingers above the horizon.

Couldn’t see any other features. It was too far away and it was matte black. Like the blackest black you’ve ever seen. The black blended in with the night sky so well, we probably wouldn’t have seen it if it didn’t have its lights on.

The lights were around the edge rim of the disc. They were evenly spaced apart and you could see them curve around the to backside of the disc.

I was not wearing my glasses and I have an astigmatism, so I could not make out the windows. All I could see was the disc and the lights going around it. It was my a couple of my coworkers who said they could see the windows. They said it was like a grid that was 3 squares high several dozen squares long all the way around the craft. The thing was a couple blocks long, hence why I described it as a “3 story office building in the sky”. It really was that big.

That’s a good possibility. It didn’t quite sound like a hawk, but I’m not too familiar with falcons.

I’ve had some bird of prey around my apartment in Brooklyn that keeps eluding me. I’ll hear it from time to time, but never quite know where it is.

I caught a glimpse of it once out of the corner of my eye. I saw a blur as something swooped down to snag a pigeon off my window sill. It was courteous enough to return half of the bird to my fire escape. That was fun to dispose of.

I saw my share of hawks growing up in Florida, but it’s still cool seeing and hearing them around the city.

Not too surprising. There seems to be a global effort now to at least monitor for UAP. Back in March AARO announced their compact UAP detection system, Gremlin, with suggestions of offering to other countries. While some UAP objects are later identified as prosaic, the focus of this system and these discussions are clearly focused on the truly anomalous events.

It's also important to note that there has already been collaborative effort between the US and Canada since at least the sightings over North America back in February 2023. Outside of the separate incident with the spy balloon, the objects in February remain considered UAP.

The UAP discussion does seem to be gaining some steam, even if AARO is dismissing the subject along the way. Hopefully we start seeing more governments publicly embracing the topic.

“I also propose that we put a warning on all horseradish that clearly states that if you ingest an entire bottle, that you will blow out your sphincter. Also, if anyone knows anyone that recently died with an intact size 3 sphincter, please contact me as I am currently very low on the waiting list for a donor.”

Ryan Graves has started back up his Substack account, starting with his "Reflections" and more recently highlights of his visit to the McMenamins UFO Festvial. For those unfamiliar, Graves testified alongside David Grusch and David Fravor in the 2023 congressional hearing on UAP. He also established Americans for Safe Aerospace to provide a resource for pilots to report sightings and has worked to break the stigma of discussing UAP.

As for the McMenamins UFO Festival, it sounds like quite the experience. I'm always interested in the psychological and sociological aspects of the phenomenon, so I really hope to be able to attend a UFO festival one day. I would love to hear people's experiences, beliefs, and what draws them to engage the topic.

It’s the same. I know it as Dog Vomit Slime, but there seem to be a ton of regional names for it. Scrambled Egg Slime is one of the more inviting names, but I’ll always prefer my dog vomit.
