UAP Task Force: The Pentagon Responds to Questions



UAPTF: Pentagon Responds to Questions 
by Roger Glassel of UFO-Aktuellt

In a previous email sent to me back in May, 2020, the Pentagon stated that there was already a interagency team/task force under the cognizance of the OUSD(I) that was analyzing sighting reports, and as most of the reports were from Navy pilots, the Navy did much of the effort. In Pentagon's recent press release it is stated that the UAPTF, established on August 4, 2020, under the oversight of the OUSD(I) and lead by the Navy. This contributed to some confusion, and I contacted Susan Gough and Joseph Gradisher to comment on the contradiction. Here are their answers.

Re: Questions about UAPTF - Roger Glassel

Hi, Roger, sorry for the delay. Here are our responses to your questions, including your latest.

1) What is the difference between the newly established UAP Task Force and the previous running task force investigating Unidentified Aerial Phenomena?

Since the majority of recent reporting about UAP observations have come from naval aviators, since approximately 2018, the Department of the Navy has been leading assessments of UAP incursion into DOD training ranges and designated airspace.  Over the last year, DOD undertook efforts to formalize the good work done by the Navy for DOD.  This effort was an informal task force that I referenced to you earlier.  Deputy Secretary Norquist approved the formal establishment of the UAPTF on Aug. 4, 2020.

2) Why did the OSD/OUSD decide to establish a new UAP Task Force superseding the previous task force investigating Unidentified Aerial Phenomena?

The task force was established to meet congressional guidance, including the report directed by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.  Over the last year, DOD undertook efforts to formalize the good work done by the Navy for DOD in leading assessments of UAP incursions into DOD training ranges and designated airspace.  Deputy Secretary Norquist approved the establishment of the UAPTF on Aug. 4, 2020.

3) As the OUSD(I) was also the cognizant authority for the previous UAP interagency task force, was this the task force that former OUSD(I) employee Mr. Luis Elizondo was providing coordination and professional connections/liaison for?

No.  Luis Elizondo departed DOD in 2017. 

4) What was the name of the previous Task Force investigating Unidentified Aerial Phenomena?

There was no previous formal task force.

5) Will the newly established UAP Task Force look into other aspects of the nature and origins of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, or will the UAPTF just look at the aspect of UAP being a potential threat to U.S. national security? 

The Department of Defense established the UAPTF to improve its understanding of, and gain insight into, the nature and origins of UAP incursions into our training ranges and designated airspace.  The mission of the task force is to detect, analyze and catalog UAP incursions that could potentially pose a threat to U.S. national security. 

6) Will the public be informed about any findings from the UAPTF of the nature and/or origins of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena?

Thorough examinations of any incursion into our training ranges or designated airspace often involves assessments from across the department, and, as appropriate, consultation with other U.S. government departments and agencies. To maintain operations security and to avoid disclosing information that may be useful to our adversaries, DOD does not discuss publicly the details of either the observations or the examination of reported incursions into our training ranges or designated airspace, including those incursions initially designated as UAP.

7) If an observer initially characterize an observation as unidentified aerial phenomena, that he or she cannot immediately identify, and the observation cannot later be explained after an analysis by the UAPTF, or any other component, what will such observation be categorized as?

Unidentified


Regards,

Sue Gough

Department of Defense Spokesperson

  1. UFOs are real and should be investigated.

    1. The problem I find is that you are labeling booth good (those who serve light) and evil (those who serve darkness)in one group. Since man is of dual nature and has the ability of choice, which many aliens do not have, I believe you need to establish a group with allegiance to the motto "one nation under GOD". This means it has the ability to obey the commands of God and the setup in the universe's governance of rules and bi-laws of the Galactic Council/Council of 7o. In order to do this, you need to agree over the rules of conduct and the WORD of GOD. Many people (remote viewers, out of body experience rs, priests, etc) need to conform to the treaty and understand the religious implications of this area on our population of the earth and our country. WE ARE the DECIDING FACTOR in a War we cannot see. Soon, times will change rapidly and the organization needs to be prepared to stand ground on the supernatural world we live in.

  2. "since approximately 2018, the Department of the Navy has been leading assessments of UAP incursion into DOD training ranges and designated airspace."

    Once again, we are told that 'range incursions' are the motivation for the investigations.

    1. That is why it belongs in the Department of Defense and not some other organization within the government. If they spoke about it being over farmlands, you might decide it should be in the Department of Agriculture.

  3. Curtis, Good reporting. If you would, ask Ms. Gough about Senator Harry Reid's emails and documentation with the program and Luis Elizondo. My thinking is Reid was looking for extra retirement income from the UFO shows by Luis. The whole package between the Pentagon and the Senator looks like a set up to me. I think this is a big story.

  4. The important thing to note here is after viewing a wide variety of credible sources, and you can find these sources yourself, it's wide spread knowledge that these UAP are not in any domestic, ally, or foreign adversary's inventory. These are off-world vehicles of unknown origin. There are a variety of types including triangles, tic tacs, ships that look like clouds/smoke, and many other types. There appears to be multiple purpose vehicles, possibly multiple species, or a combination of domestic engineered and off-world ships.

    1. No, what we can say, is that something is being seen and reported, often interpreted as vehicles. There's no proof that these are craft of any kind, or what causes these sightings. Keep your mind open.
