A battle over UFO transparency has erupted in Washington as ‘certain intelligence agencies’ have been accused of withholding evidence from the American public.
Investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell told the Daily Mail there is a ‘bottleneck’ inside US Central Command where footage of unidentified flying objects is being blocked from reaching officials seeking access to it.
Corbell said some members of Congress are now ‘dead set’ on forcing the release of the material ‘come hell or high water,’ with some lawmakers prepared to escalate the fight if agencies continue withholding records.
The growing disclosure battle has now centered on 46 classified military UFO videos that lawmakers recently demanded from the Department of War last month, which have yet to be released.
Eight of those highly anticipated clips appear in Corbell’s documentary Sleeping Dog, where viewers are shown brief glimpses of what he described as unresolved UFO encounters collected by the US military.
Corbell stressed the footage shown in the film represents only ‘tiny glimpses’ of a much larger archive of sensitive material tied to sensitive defense operations and unexplained aerial incidents.
Among the footage referenced by Corbell is what he described as full-color ‘satellite footage’ and ‘full motion video’ of mysterious flying objects that he believes Americans ‘need to be able to assess’ for themselves.
Corbell said the documentary was created not only to reveal pieces of the evidence, but to expose what he called the broader resistance against journalists, whistleblowers and transparency efforts surrounding UFO disclosure.
But whistleblower David Grusch claimed the disclosure effort is already facing resistance from within the intelligence community.
Speaking to FOX News on May 8, Grusch said: ‘It has come to my attention, actually, recently as of today, there are some actors within certain intelligence agencies, to include DIA and CIA specifically, that are actually blocking some of the president’s, a Presidentially appointed team in getting access and getting control of some of these historical records.’
The allegations fueled outrage among disclosure advocates, including Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison, who warned Wednesday on X: ‘More is still classified, and I’ve seen some of it. If the administration doesn’t release it, I will, under Speech or Debate.’
