USA: Naval Intelligence Briefing on UAP Destigmatization
On May 1, 2020, the US Office of Naval Intelligence conducted a classified briefing to reduce stigma around UAP and encourage greater intelligence gathering on incursions near military operations.
Background
Event Details
On May 1, 2020, the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) organized a classified briefing focused on unidentified aerial phenomena. The main objectives were to normalize discussions about UAP encounters and boost efforts to collect data on intrusions affecting active military units.
Context and Sources
This briefing built upon an earlier ONI session from October 18, 2019, and was shared across secure networks like SIPRNet and JWICS. Information came from sources familiar with the content, shared via investigator Jeremy Kenyon Lockyer Corbell in his April 8, 2019, publication, later tied to 2020 events.
Evidence and Significance
It highlighted footage of pyramid-shaped UAP, including 'ACORN' and 'METAL BLIMP W/ PAYLOAD', captured by Navy personnel using advanced sensors on weapon systems. This marked a shift in DoD handling of UAP as potential threats, paving the way for the UAP Task Force established in August 2020, enhancing reporting and analysis amid national security concerns.
