What is happening with the UFO Disclosure topic in the world today? Here’s an overview.
The situation we find ourselves in is that parts of the military, government, and private contractors are withholding information about UFO (non-human) craft collected over decades.
On the other side is a massive, intelligent group of people who are hellbent on reaching worldwide disclosure of this phenomenon. The secret has been covered up for too long. The world insists on knowing what is going on and they won’t take any BS for answers. Congress is on a bi-partisan witch hunt. There are some in Congress trying to stifle UFO Disclosure.
The UFO/UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) disclosure conversation has evolved dramatically by February 2025, fueled by government actions, whistleblower testimonies, scientific interest, and a flood of public data from social platforms like X. Here’s a broad, detailed snapshot of where things stand, covering the movers and shakers, notable incidents, and the international pulse on the topic.
Key Figures Driving the UFO Disclosure Narrative
- Jake Barber: A U.S. Air Force veteran and helicopter pilot, Barber has emerged as a key whistleblower in the UAP disclosure movement. In a January 2025 NewsNation interview with Ross Coulthart, he claimed to have worked as a civilian contractor for a secret government UFO retrieval program after leaving the military post-9/11. Barber described using his helicopter to transport downed craft, including a white, egg-shaped object roughly 20 feet long with no visible propulsion, which he asserts was of non-human origin. He alleges confirmation from UAP task force members and says three fellow veterans corroborate his account. Video footage, purportedly showing one such retrieval, aired during the special “Hunting UFOs: The Crash Retrieval Whistleblower,” sparking debate over its authenticity and implications.
- Lue Elizondo: The former head of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) remains a central figure. By 2025, Elizondo has ramped up his advocacy, releasing a memoir (Imminent: Inside the Pentagon’s Hunt for UFOs) and appearing frequently in media to push for transparency. He’s hinted at classified briefings suggesting UAP exhibit technology “100 to 1,000 years ahead” of humanity’s, focusing on their national security implications.
- Ross Coulthart: This Australian journalist continues to break stories, often citing high-level sources. In 2024, he reported on alleged UAP crash retrieval programs in the U.S., bolstered by whistleblower accounts. His work bridges mainstream journalism and the UAP community, with recent X posts suggesting an upcoming exposé on international cooperation in UAP research.
- David Grusch: A former intelligence officer, Grusch’s 2023 congressional testimony—claiming the U.S. possesses non-human craft and biologics—still reverberates. By 2025, he’s become a polarizing figure. Supporters point to corroborating leaks on X, while skeptics demand hard evidence. His claims have spurred legislative pushes for declassification.
- Steven Greer: The Disclosure Project founder remains a vocal advocate for full, immediate disclosure, often at odds with more cautious voices like Elizondo. In 2024, Greer hosted a widely streamed event featuring alleged insiders, though his assertions of suppressed free-energy tech from ET sources draw criticism for lacking substantiation.
- Eric Davis: An astrophysicist tied to AATIP, Davis has kept a lower profile but is linked to the infamous “Wilson/Davis Memo.” This document, still debated for authenticity, alleges a secret UAP reverse-engineering program. Recent X chatter suggests Davis briefed Senate staff in late 2024, though details are scarce.
- Chris Mellon: A former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Mellon’s push for UAP legitimacy has gained traction. By 2025, he’s focused on integrating UAP data into broader aerospace defense strategies, urging Congress to fund advanced sensor networks.
Major UFO/Alien Developments and Events
- All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO): Established in 2022, AARO’s scope has expanded by 2025. Its 2024 annual report, released in November, documented over 800 UAP cases, with 15% showing “anomalous” traits—extreme speed, trans-medium travel (air to water), and no visible propulsion. Critics on X argue AARO downplays evidence, but it’s a sign of sustained government attention.
- Congressional Hearings: Following Grusch’s 2023 bombshell, 2024 saw closed-door briefings with whistleblowers and Pentagon officials. Leaks on X suggest a bipartisan bill, spearheaded by Senators Gillibrand and Rubio, is gaining steam in early 2025 to declassify UAP records over 25 years old—potentially a game-changer if passed.
- The Nimitz Redux: The 2004 “Tic-Tac” encounter off California remains a gold standard case. In 2024, newly released radar data (via FOIA requests) corroborated pilot accounts, showing the object’s erratic maneuvers. X users have dissected this, with some linking it to Grusch’s claims of retrieved tech.
- East Coast Drone/UAP Flap: Since late 2024, reports of “drones” over Ohio and New Jersey have spiked. Authorities attribute most to hobbyists or commercial craft, but a subset defies explanation—hovering silently, evading pursuit, and lacking FAA registration. X posts speculate these could be UAP, with some citing AARO’s interest.
- Peru’s “Alien Mummies”: The Nazca mummies saga continues. In 2024, Mexican researchers presented DNA analysis suggesting non-human origins, but peer-reviewed studies in early 2025 lean toward elaborate hoaxes or misidentified human remains. The debate rages on X, with images of the tridactyl figures fueling both sides.
Phenomena and Observations
UAP sightings in 2025 span a range of shapes: white “Tic-Tacs,” glowing orbs, metallic saucers, and larger “mothership”-like structures. Witnesses and leaked sensor data describe capabilities like instantaneous acceleration (0 to Mach 5+), 90-degree turns, and submersion without disturbance. On X, users share grainy videos—often debunked as drones or Starlink satellites—but a few defy easy dismissal, especially those cross-verified by multiple sources.
Global Perspectives
- United States: The U.S. leads disclosure efforts, with AARO and congressional momentum. Public pressure, amplified by X, keeps the heat on, though skeptics argue it’s a distraction from terrestrial issues.
- UK and France: The UK’s Ministry of Defence reopened UAP files in 2024, while France’s GEIPAN continues analyzing cases, with a recent report noting a spike in orb sightings over Paris.
- China and Russia: Both nations remain tight-lipped. Web searches and X posts hint at advanced UAP tracking programs, with rumors of China testing hypersonic craft inspired by UAP tech—unconfirmed but plausible given their aerospace strides.
- Japan and Australia: Japan’s Defense Ministry launched a UAP task force in 2024, spurred by U.S. collaboration. Australia’s declassified archives, surfacing on X, reveal decades of military encounters, including a 1978 pilot disappearance tied to a UAP.
- South America: Beyond Peru, Brazil’s 2024 release of 1986 “Night of the UFOs” footage—showing jets chasing lights—has reignited regional interest.
Beyond the Headlines
- Science Steps In: By 2025, initiatives like the Galileo Project (led by Avi Loeb) and SETI’s renewed UAP focus are deploying AI-driven telescopes and radio arrays. No “smoking gun” yet, but anomalous signals—like a 2024 narrowband ping from Proxima Centauri—keep speculation alive.
- The Cultural Shift: Disclosure isn’t just top-down. X is a hotbed of raw data—witness clips, leaked docs, and heated debates. Hashtags like #UAP2025 trend weekly, reflecting a public hungry for answers and skeptical of official narratives.
- The Big Questions: Are UAP extraterrestrial, interdimensional, or human-made (e.g., secret U.S./adversary tech)? Grusch and Elizondo lean toward non-human intelligence; other skeptics on X argue for prosaic explanations. Evidence remains elusive, but the volume of credible reports is harder to dismiss.
What’s Next?
As of February 22, 2025, the UAP disclosure movement is at a tipping point. Legislative efforts could unlock archives, while AARO’s next report (due mid-2025) might clarify unresolved cases. On X, insiders tease “big reveals” for later this year—possibly tied to Coulthart’s work or Grusch’s promised follow-ups. The truth remains murky, but the conversation is louder, broader, and more evidence-driven than ever.
