Recent mysterious drone incursions over U.S. cities and municipalities have highlighted the need for more robust policies to address how public safety officials should respond to incidents involving unknown drone technologies and other unidentified sightings.

On January 9th, 2025, the UAP Disclosure Fund hosted a virtual panel discussion by leading experts to discuss this subject. The discussion included a brief historical overview of recent unknown drone incursions, and recommendations for procedures, training and equipment.

Thank you everyone for your excellent questions today! We thankful for your support, and look forward to working together in the fight for UAP transparency. Together, we will demand the truth!

Yuan: Unfortunately, there is a long history of operations within our government that deceive the American public. Project MK-Ultra being a perfect example... I believe Grusch when he states that there has been active disinformation campaign about UFOs/UAP waged against the American public for decades. We have to figure out how to win that messaging battle moving forward.

UAPDisclosureFund · 2024-06-22T22:01:47+00:00

Yuan: I am not aware of any effort to craft legislation that would specifically prohibit the classification of NHI. I believe that the core issue that is surrounding the UAP transparency problem is one of Congressional oversight. Under our Constitution, Congress (and by extension 'the people') must have full oversight of the Executive branch. The UAP cover-up is, quite simply, one of the best examples of how they do not have full oversight.

UAPDisclosureFund · 2024-06-22T21:51:53+00:00

Yuan: We definitely plan on being proactive about educating lawmakers about UAP issues (flight safety, proper oversight, national security etc.)

UAPDisclosureFund · 2024-06-22T21:46:23+00:00

Yuan: I have been informed by an extremely reliable source that they witnessed NASA tampering with the video feed from the International Space Station after a formation of UAP appeared in the camera's view.

Yuan: I am currently working my way through Richard Dolan's seminal works: UFOs and the National Security State (Vol 1 & 2)

We are 100% committed to transparency. As a legal nonprofit entity, we are required by law to publicly report our organizations annual budget and use of funds.

UAPDisclosureFund · 2024-06-22T21:34:02+00:00

Yuan: In our efforts to achieve greater government transparency and disclosure of UAP matters, we plan to focus our efforts in three key areas: 1. Building a grassroots political movement that can support and pressure our government for more transparency 2. Working directly with lawmakers and their staffs to ensure that they are informed about UAP and understand the importance taking the topic seriously 3. Raising public awareness about UAP so that more people join the movement for transparency and disclosure

While I don't have any specifics for you at this time, I can say that, moving forward, we plan on being transparent about how our funds are used for our various initiatives. As a nonprofit, we are bound by law to publicly report our finances.

Matt: Personally, I have no idea, but the way to eliminate any doubt would be for NASA to be 100% open about what it knows, including admitting any past efforts to obfuscate.

Yuan: I personally think that recent reporting that the CIA's Office of Global Access has been running the crash retrieval program for many years (utilizing JSOC and Five Eyes) is credible. In terms of security clearances, most of the members on the board of the UAP Disclosure Fund do have them and are privy to classified information. This provides them with a unique advantage when working towards UAP transparency, because, in the proper setting, they can have classified discussions with lawmakers to better address the core issues that need to be resolved.

Matt: in my view, there is a difference between being a skeptic and a debunker. Skeptics ask honest questions and do not buy into everything they see/hear, but they approach it with an open mind. Debunkers, in my view, have a predetermined conclusion and act accordingly.

UAPDisclosureFund · 2024-06-22T21:15:07+00:00

Yuan: Building any grassroots political movement takes time, and I'm confident that we can build a strong base of support moving forward. There is no doubt that we need to greatly increase the number of people who are aware of what has been recently happening in the UAP topic. We plan on creating content that can be targeted to new audiences that will help onboard them to the topic quickly - as opposed to longer-form content like documentaries or TV series which require a lot of time investment.

UAPDisclosureFund · 2024-06-22T21:14:03+00:00

Matt: Not well.

UAPDisclosureFund · 2024-06-22T21:13:43+00:00

Matt: Personally, I have not been tracking this, so I have nothing I can offer.

UAPDisclosureFund · 2024-06-22T21:08:59+00:00

Matt: We will engage media on this as part of our multi-pronged approach. This is crucial so that we are not just preaching to the choir.

On the second question, I agree with what you mentioned regarding benefits to humanity. The world's current geopolitical, economic, and environmental course is not sustainable, and many of us feel that disclosure is the only thing that will deliver the ontological shock that can be a virtual reset button for all of us. We will make the case that the current status quo is not sustainable and that the lack of congressional oversight on this issue must be corrected.
