Introduction to TTSA Talks Podcast
This episode of TTSA Talks introduces the podcast and its purpose. The hosts, Tom DeLonge, Lou Elizondo, and Chris Mellon, discuss the importance of transparency and accountability in government organizations. They mention the need for someone with knowledge of how the government works to bring information to the public. This episode also highlights the recent proposal of legislation in the Intelligence Authorization Act for 2021 that calls for the creation of a UAP task force that would issue a public report on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs).
Importance of Establishing a UAP Task Force
The hosts delve into the significance of creating a UAP task force. They draw a parallel with the establishment of the Counter-Terrorist Center in the aftermath of 9/11 to better coordinate information and prevent tragedies. The UAP task force aims to serve as a cohesive platform for gathering and integrating information from various agencies and departments. It would consolidate relevant data, address the lack of coordination, and promote accountability in handling UAP sightings and encounters.
Task Force Implementation and Accountability
The hosts discuss the implementation and accountability of the proposed UAP task force. They explain that although the report language in the legislation is not legally binding, it serves as a marker and initiates conversations. Compliance with the task force's work and reporting requirements can be encouraged through Congress's power of the purse. They emphasize the importance of establishing accountability and transparency within the government to address the issue effectively.
UAPs as Potential Threats and Need for Transparency
Lou Elizondo and Chris Mellon address the term 'threat' in the context of UAPs and the need for transparency. They highlight that due to limited information and potential interest in military capabilities, UAPs are approached as potential threats by the Department of Defense. They emphasize the importance of knowledge and informed decision-making in a government that serves the people. The hosts stress the need for transparency, conversation, and open reporting to understand and address the UAP phenomenon.
In this episode of TTSA Talks, Tom DeLonge, Chris Mellon and Luis Elizondo engage in a captivating conversation about The Intelligence Authorization Act for 2021 that the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence recently introduced and that includes an official public request for a UAP Task Force and an unclassified UAP report.
Episode 4 will explore an analysis of what the legislation means if passed, who is accountable for the report, the difference with AATIP, how Special Access Programs work, and an explanation of the UAP threat narrative.
