@disclosuredrop: How did a punchline become the subject of congressional hearings? The receipts, in order. 1947: Kenneth Arnold's nine objects over Mount Rainier coin "flying saucer." Weeks later the Army announces a recovered saucer near Roswell — next day: weather balloon. 1952: Project Blue Book opens. 1953: a CIA panel says debunk it. 1969: Blue Book closes — "nothing of scientific interest." Decades of silence. 2017: the Times reveals a secret Pentagon UFO program; Navy videos leak. 2020: the Pentagon releases them itself — unidentified. 2021: 144 cases reviewed, 143 unexplained. 2022: the first public hearing in 50+ years. 2023: whistleblowers under oath; Congress pushes for disclosure. 2026: under Trump, PURSUE opens the files — FBI cases, sensor videos, batch by batch. Nine years from "nothing to see" to hearings and file releases. The trajectory is documented. Share this with someone who still thinks this is a fringe topic. #uap #disclosure #History #congress #ufo Music: Red (No Vocals) by Scott Buckley (CC-BY)
