This is UFO sightings today. They were expecting him to

2
00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:06.240
walk into a hearing room and tell a story the

3
00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:11.320
official ledger does not fully contain. MSN reports that Matthew

4
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:14.400
James Sullivan, an Air Force officer who had agreed to

5
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:19.039
testify before Congress about recovered materials and off the books programs,

6
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:23.039
was found dead before he could take the stand. His

7
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:27.519
death was later ruled an accidental overdose, a finding that

8
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:33.840
has not quieted voices demanding answers. Congressman Eric Burlison has

9
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:37.759
called the timing suspicious and asked the FBI to open

10
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:42.479
a probe. Whistleblowers warn this loss matters because first hand

11
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:47.000
testimony is the currency of oversight, and because the community

12
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:51.000
has watched a troubling pattern of prominent figures dying this year.

13
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.719
A very different kind of alarm went viral today, a

14
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:59.600
televangelist's warning that American pastors have been briefed to prepare

15
00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:04.799
their congregations for disclosure. The story, carried by smaller outlets

16
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:09.200
including us A Herald and reported elsewhere, has sparked frantic

17
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:14.120
sharing online and fresh debate about how culture, faith, and

18
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:20.400
national security will intersect if officials release more information online

19
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:24.439
the conversation has turned to documents and memory. A recent

20
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:29.079
Reddit thread is reviving the old MJ twelve controversy, citing

21
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:31.640
the so called eight three four oh two one files

22
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:36.480
and Stanton Friedman's archival work, with users pledging to dig

23
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:42.280
quietly through archives before drawing public conclusions. Official investigators keep

24
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:47.000
a steadier line. The Pentagon's Anomaly Resolution Office continues to

25
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.879
collect reports and censor data, while historical programs like the

26
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:55.480
Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program show the government has long

27
00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:01.400
studied unusual encounters. Many incidents resolved to misidentas aircraft, weather

28
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:05.760
or censor error, and deaths are adjudicated by local coroners

29
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:10.120
and law enforcement. We'll keep watching the skies. UFO sidings
