Toronto [ZNN] In a candid April 25th 2019 article by Deanna Paul, the Washington Post has once again delved into what the US Navy has known but has never openly acknowledged. The issue: US Navy pilots are observing and interacting with craft of unknown origin at an unprecedented rate, however pilots have been thwarted by regulations not to report their observations.

This dramatic and no nonsense piece of journalism by Ms. Paul provides a gateway of understanding to how and why the Navy is walking back on decades of silence on UFOs.

It opens countless doors.

Might this Washington Post journalist, her colleagues and editorial staff be introducing a new era of open discourse about what appears to be the greatest issue to face the human family? 

Who is Who in High Places
Ms. Paul has managed to reveal explicit admissions and deep concerns about UFOs among high level Naval operations officials and Senate intelligence sources.

In her article Ms. Paul indicated Joseph Gradisher, spokesman for the office of the deputy chief of naval operations for information warfare, told The Washington Post on Wednesday, “We want to get to the bottom of this. We need to determine who’s doing it, where it’s coming from and what their intent is.” 

Chris Mellon, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence and staffer on the Senate Intelligence Committee also stated in Ms. Paul's article, “It’s very mysterious, and the UAPs [unexplained aerial phenomenon] still seem to exceed our aircraft in speed,” he said - calling it a “truly radical technology.”

New guidelines for pilot reports have been drafted to enable pilots to put forward their observations without fear of career ending recrimination.

Luis Elizondo, a former senior intelligence officer, told The Post that the new Navy guidelines formalized the reporting process, facilitating data-driven analysis while removing the stigma from talking about UFOs, calling it “the single greatest decision the Navy has made in decades.”

These events - when coupled with the December 2017 NY Times announcement that the US Pentagon carried on a Senate funded UFO investigation program, may indeed represent an extraordinary shift in military policy on UAP disclosures.
  
These revised practices by specific military agencies are beginning to cast doubt on the US government's capacity to maintain its stranglehold on secrecy about UFOs by withholding and outright lying to the public about the existence of UFOs. 

This move by the Navy could make current modes of operational policy outdated for other arms of the military, the White House and US Intelligence agencies who have long maintained denial, secrecy and silence as their strategy.  

Critical Questions to be Asked and Answered 

• Does this revised approach to UAP open-messaging by the Pentagon and now the US Navy emanate from a single source within the military or is it being extruded from an inside shadow group that may be covertly vectoring and hastening the pace of disclosure? 

• Now that the US Navy has revised its position on UFOs will the US Air Force be forced to also revise its outdated policies?

• Has Ms. Paul identified a fissure in the 70 year-old wall of secrecy surrounding the UFO cover-up?

Other Media?
The Current - a Canadian national investigative radio program covered this Pentagon story in December 2017 on the advice of ZNN. 



Mainstream media - lead by the New York Times and the Washington Post in addition to POLITICO, the Huffington Post and dozens of international news outlets are playing catch up in a frenzy to understand what level of disclosure these revelations represent. 

Can the military be trusted and, how much further will it go before it becomes the sole Disclosure agent? Right now discourse seems to be headed in the direction of truth-telling or is this simply another form of misdirection?

Don't change the channel - this could change at any moment.

Historically, the Navy has been cast as the only military arm of the US defence system to have the goods on the UFO issue. In 1960 - as reported by the NY Times - Vice Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter and the CIA's first Director was quoted as saying that,"   [B]ehind the scenes, high-ranking Air Force officers are soberly concerned about the UFO's. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense." The retired Admiral also charged that "to hide the facts, the Air Force has silenced its personnel through the issuance of a regulation."

Pidgeons and Predators
Given the recent coverage and the preponderance of world-wide interest, the question of UFO Disclosure seems to have become an evolving reality to end UFO secrecy and silence.

Once the pigeons are out of the coop it's hard, if not impossible, to get them back inside. Of course the falcons and other predators still lurk in the darkness of government mendacity as the pigeons freely roam the skies with their messages.

For now, the media is our only hope to create a national dialogue about the greatest issue to face the human family. This issue has awaited relentless journalism similar to Ms. Paul's to raise it to the level of Watergate, The Pentagon Papers and the exposure of the mess in Washington DC. 

Let's hope Ms. Paul's article on this matter is not her last.
