00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:07.599
This is UFO Sightings Today. Matthew James Sullivan was an
3
00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:10.759
Air Force officer who had told reporters he possessed knowledge
4
00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:15.400
of recovered materials and off the book's programs. According to reporting,
5
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:19.000
he had agreed to testify before Congress about those claims
6
00:00:19.039 --> 00:00:23.239
and never made it. Sullivan died in April. His death
7
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:28.679
ruled an accidental overdose. Congressman Eric Berlason called the timing
8
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:33.359
suspicious and has demanded the FBI open a probe. For
9
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:38.320
a community that catalogs every anomaly and every untimely death,
10
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.799
Sullivan's name has become another hard to ignore entry on
11
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:48.359
a list that already makes many observers uneasy. Nick Pope,
12
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.520
who ran the British Ministry of Defense UFO desk from
13
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:55.159
nineteen ninety one to nineteen ninety four and built a
14
00:00:55.200 --> 00:01:00.000
public voice around government files and investigations, died this year.
15
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:05.159
He was a bridge between official records and public curiosity,
16
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:09.079
the person who read the files No One releases and
17
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:13.040
then told the world what he saw. His passing has
18
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:16.560
left the community grieving and reminded many that the story
19
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:22.040
of official secrecy has human faces online. The conversation is
20
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:26.799
looping between strategy and sightings. A popular theory argues that
21
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:32.200
Disclosure Day functions as a psychological priming campaign to romanticize leaking.
22
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:36.640
Another post flags of verified August fourth sighting at twelve
23
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.560
thirty pm in the East foothills of San Jose, reporting
24
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:43.000
five or more p sized objects moving in formation and
25
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:47.560
then disappearing. Others point to a new airline pilot whistleblower
26
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:52.680
featured on a daytime show. Officially, investigators urge caution. The
27
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.920
Pentagon's Anomaly Resolution Office continues to collect censor data and
28
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:05.079
reports and ordinary explanations. Satellites, commercial constellations, aircraft, balloons, and
29
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:09.719
censer artifacts remain the first lines of inquiry. Will keep
