## Resource

The first tranche of UAP files released by the embattled Trump Administration leaves the UFO community cold, but clinging to hope. In this interview, I sit down with Daniel Elizondo, co-author of "Loose Threads," to discuss the recent release of UFO files by the Trump Administration. The files largely largely consisted of previously known information, and the small amount of fresh material was hardly dramatic enough to change the overall conversation around UAPs and non-human intelligence. We explore the challenges of true disclosure, including the complexity of the phenomenon, and its extension beyond physical objects in the sky to include psychological, physiological, and even psychic aspects. What would REAL disclosure even look like? Would that ever really happen? Elizondo argues for the release of the Capella database, a comprehensive collection of UFO-related data compiled by Jacques Vallee during AAWSAP, that could provide valuable insights across multiple layers of the phenomenon. We both ultimately applaud the work of disclosure advocates, and agree the release of the documents and files amounts to progress. But the heart of these issues and questions likely lays beyond the clutches of government. ----------------------- Music Credits: Music: Cinematic Logo 04 by TaigaSoundProd Free download: https://filmmusic.io/song/8221-cinema...
