Odds are the whistleblower is Irish, and both Irish Star authors of this report and their news outlet definitely appear so. So we are inclined at first to think "blarney" of the claims by Charles McNeal. And "at second" and "third" as well, though some parts of McNeal's spiel—the U.S./Taliban treaty and "The Keeper"—seemed more original than the rest of his claims. Someone whose "street cred" is much more established is the interlocutor on the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies' Chris Mellon on UAP, National Security, & Government Accountability. A central figure in the post-December-2017 UFO sensation offers his frank insights into its present state of affairs and where things are going. Contrast this Dr. Michael Glawson interview with the first "whistleblower" article and also now compare it to Matt Ford's The Good Trouble Show dialogue as Former Deputy Asst Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Chris Mellon Talks UAPs. With Congress back in session to vote on amendments to the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) UFO-related provisions, the Ford Mellon interview naturally focuses somewhat more upon the legislative initiatives, along with recent UFO-military sensations. The "eminent domain" provisions in the failed 2024 UAP area, in particular, come in for scrutiny as to their possible inclusion in this session's efforts. (WM)
