In the first half, disclosure lobbyist and truth seeker Stephen Bassett shared updates in the disclosure field, including what to expect in the upcoming report on UAP to the Senate Intel Committee. The report that's due in June (initiated by Senator Marco Rubio) is more of an evaluation than an investigation, and it's going to be part of a much larger process, he suggested. We are finally "in the last weeks and months of a truth embargo," he believes, and further, it's likely that congressional or public hearings on UFOs/UAP will be convened with a particular focus on national security issues. Ultimately, because of the hearings (potentially seen by millions of people), the "President will be in a position to confirm the ET presence in a comfortable way," he projects.
This current phase of disclosure was kicked off in 2017 with the To the Stars Academy (TTSA) formation, which included ex-Pentagon and DOD officials like Luis Elizondo and Christopher Mellon, and then followed by the New York Times articles, he cited. Elizondo, Mellon, and Steve Justice recently left TTSA because it may be easier for them to deal with congressional staffers without being part of a specific organization, Bassett speculated. For the hearings, in addition to military witnesses, he thinks those who work in the secretive defense contract industry could also be included, and this may be facilitated by Justice, who was formerly a director at Lockheed's Skunk Works. "The testimony from the military witnesses will virtually confirm...beyond a reasonable doubt, that some of this phenomena is off-world," he added.

Retired senior technology executive Joseph Foster has compiled a lifetime of paranormal sightings and experiences, including many stories from his time in the military. In the latter half, he discussed his UFO and USO (unidentified submerged object) sightings, as well as areas like the Bermuda Triangle and the Devil's Sea that are prone to strange anomalies. As a member of the US Coast Guard, he was stationed between Hawaii and Japan during July-August 1969. On a deck watch on the ship bridge, he was alerted that targets were closing in on the ship, flying in formation at a staggering 3,500 mph (picked up on radar). They saw three bright white objects that flew above the vessel and then disappeared over the horizon.
Foster described a USO-type sighting south of Da Nang, Viet Nam where his ship was anchored, and some of the team were on a swim call. Again on a bridge watch, they noticed an enormous black teardrop-shaped object briefly coming up from underneath the ship, estimated to be around 100 ft. long and 35 ft. wide (too big to be a whale, most likely). Observing UFOs with the naked eye in daylight, he noticed there wasn't the distortion around them that is often picked up in photos. An energy field could surround such craft, Foster postulated-- using a drive or propulsion that distorts the time and space around it, similar to what may be going on with the 'Tic Tac' UFO and its potential use of metamaterials.
