Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirms AARO's caseload has grown to over 2,000 cases, with approximately 1,000 reports lacking sufficient data for analysis. A War Department official states AARO is working with the White House to consolidate records and expedite release of never-before-seen UAP information.

Episode 2: The Black Vault Mystery

Investigating the sudden deletion of 3.8 million declassified UFO files, Executive Order uncertainty, and expert perspectives on implementation. Featuring Ross Coulthart and Luis Elizondo on what's needed for true disclosure.

Episode 1: President Trump has issued a directive ordering the Pentagon and federal agencies to identify and release files related to UAPs, UFOs, and extraterrestrial life. The announcement, made via Truth Social on February 19th, comes days after former President Obama discussed the statistical probability of alien life. Pentagon officials have confirmed readiness to comply, while Senator Kirsten Gillibrand welcomed the move and urged follow-through on disclosure efforts.

Expert reactions have been mixed but cautiously optimistic. Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb emphasized the national security importance of investigating anomalous data, while former DOD official Christopher Mellon highlighted AARO's failure to meet statutory reporting obligations. Luis Elizondo noted that implementing the directive will require an executive order and government agency compliance.

Meanwhile, the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office remains behind on mandated congressional reports, and Chris Bledsoe discusses his 2007 UAP encounter in a new podcast interview.
