So, Ross, the major question, do you think the Pentagon confirming its investigating the allegations of Jake Barber is a major step forward here?
[0:00:00 - 0:00:08] ▶
It's an incremental step forward. I think it's important because we do know that the new director of Arrow, the Pentagon's UAP investigation office,

So, to get this confirmation now from the Pentagon that they are now indeed investigating is positive.
[0:00:34 - 0:00:40] ▶
The Pentagon dictates what he's allowed to reveal and what he's allowed to say publicly.
[0:00:46 - 0:00:51] ▶
And there isn't a very proud history, I'm afraid, of the Pentagon wanting to be very forthcoming about what we do believe is a covert UAP retrieval and reverse engineering program.
[0:00:51 - 0:01:03] ▶
So, really, I think a lot depends on the degree of transparency and openness that's permitted by the Pentagon, and a lot of that hangs on the new administration.
[0:01:04 - 0:01:14] ▶
It's very interesting. I know you say there is very clear intent from senior echelons within the Pentagon leadership to continue to suppress this story. Tell me more about that.
[0:01:26 - 0:01:35] ▶
What's interesting though is that the Pentagon recently came back with an answer to the White House on the drone incursions that you and I have spent a lot of time talking about.
[0:02:16 - 0:02:24] ▶
But whether the Pentagon wants to admit that or not, there is a certain inevitability because Jake Barber and his team at Skywatcher are now trying to replicate what they did on the range privately with the backing of private equity.
