We had AATIP and now we have UAPTF. They do stuff and brief Congress about it. Why is that not good enough?

- likeabbas 4y agoUAPTF is now AARO. But it’s not enough for congress to be briefed. If what we’re seeing is a better understanding of physics, than this would affect everyone’s lives
- marmetio 4y agoThen maybe they can mitigate the risk without you knowing about it.
- likeabbas 4y agoWhat is that supposed to mean? This is about gaining a further understanding of reality; the universe
- marmetio 4y ago> it’s affecting military training operations and putting our fighter jet pilots at risk
- likeabbas 4y agoI didn’t forget. This issue could be both a security risk for our military members, and also an exciting venture for science.

- marmetio 4y agoIf it was just a science thing or they didn't care about the security risk, I don't see why they'd keep forming new organizations that are increasingly secretive.
- likeabbas 4y agoBecause it's not just a science thing. It's a potential threat. Threat is defined as capability x intent. We are seeing these things with insane capabilities, but not really any intent (other than maybe observing our technology).
- marmetio 4y agoWe have AARO for addressing the threat. Why is that not good enough?
- likeabbas 4y agoThe government works for the citizens. We citizens should be able to know what is happening above our heads.
- marmetio 4y agoThey already responded to FOIA requests, briefed Congress publicly and privately, and announced AARO when they didn't have to. We're pretty well-informed, and Congress has some oversight. It's very ordinary.
- likeabbas 4y agoThis subject is anything but ordinary. The former Deputy Secretary of Defense for Intelligence wrote a blog alleging that there are black projects hidden within DoD contractors that are reverse engineering non-human intelligence craft. He's presented enough evidence to congress for them to add specific legislation to bring these programs to light.
