Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
For the first time, we know what was in the
document Lula Zando sent to the incoming Trump administration. It
is called prioritizing and Merging all Domain Technologies, and it
calls for something that's never existed before, a UAP ZAR
inside of the White House. This comes as the twenty
twenty six National Defense Authorization Act explicitly includes UAP provisions.

(00:23):
That is right, UAPs are written directly in the defense
bill that funds our military. This week, Ross Colthart obtained
a copy of that memo and sat down with Alizondo
to discuss what it means and whether the administration is
taking action. As always, I'm here to report the information
without bias, and you can decide what to believe. You
can find the sources in my detailed articles at ufonews

(00:46):
dot com, along within the description books below. Hey, you
follow yours. I'm Christina Gomez and welcome to this episode
of UFO News Updates. Ross revealed the contents of a
memo Luila Zondo wrote to President Trump, and the document
was sent through the Disclosure Foundation shortly after Trump's election
victory in twenty twenty four. The title alone is worth

(01:06):
doing a double take. Prioritizing Emerging all Domain technologies. Alizondo
is using a new term here, EADT, and that framing
is very intentional. That memo doesn't lead with aliens or
normalist phenomena. It leads with national security. According to that document,
the EADT includes unmanned aerial systems, identified anomalist phenomena, and

(01:32):
certain other advanced systems operating across air space and ce domains.
That memo states that these technologies are capable of intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance,
and even kinetic strikes. In other words, Elizondo is making
the case that drones and UAPs are part of the
same problem. We don't know what's in our skies and

(01:55):
that right there is a threat. Here's what Elizondo mentioned
on Reality check.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Is unidentified until it becomes identified. And that's true whether
it's a Chinese spy balloon, or it is a drone
as we saw in the recent New Jersey flap last year,
or it is a UAP. And so think you can
think of this emerging all domain technology as a large umbrella.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
The most significant recommendation in the memo is this Alexando
calls for a creation of a White House senior advisor
a czar within the National Security Council. This individual would
coordinate the government's response to emerging all domain technologies. They
would formulate policy, and they would conduct domestic and even

(02:43):
international outreach. And in all of this they would have
direct access to the President. Alizondo explained his.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Rationale, and so by creating an individual that sits at
the very top that can advise the president, we can
actually pin the tail on the donkey. Look, we have
a drug for this country, we have a terrorism zar
for this country. We have all these positions that are
put in place simply to kind of cut through the
red tape of the bureaucracy and inform the president and

(03:10):
in form the administration of emerging threats as are happening.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
The memo also recommends a national Intelligence estimate on the
EADT including UAP. It calls for a twenty five year
mandatory declassification of all UAP information unless the President grants
an exemption case by case, and it even recommends accelerating
research into advanced propulsion by engaging academic and scientific communities.

(03:38):
Alezondo's message is very clear. AERO the All Domain Anomaly
Resolution Office simply isn't enough. The memo states that although
Congress created arrow within the Department of Defense to analyze
UAPs and explain them away, the office remains hopelessly stuck
in bureaucracy and unable to achieve its mission, according to Alizondo,

(04:00):
so has the President acted on this memo. Elizondo was
very careful on to speak for the administration. He confirmed
the memo was sent, but could not confirm whether the
President Trump has read it personally. However, he did offer
some insight.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
I'm very confident and very relieved that at least certain
individuals whom I know are working on this topic are
indeed taking it very seriously and basically pulling the thread
to see where it leads. Now at the end of
the day, time will tell what those results will be,
but no, I'm very grateful and andheartened to see some

(04:39):
of the efforts that I see behind behind closed doors.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
He said there are pockets within the FBI and the
Director of National Intelligence that are taking the topic very seriously.
He described their approach as measured and said they are
asking the right questions, but he also issued a warning.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Time isn't really on our side. I think we have
to have some patients and give the administration sometime. But
I don't think we have a whole lot of time.
I think we really have to do a much better
job of trying to figure out what's going on. And
it's it's a it's a tough nut to crack. It's
a tough problem.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
And remember the NDAA for twenty twenty six that I
mentioned a little bit earlier. We need to get into that.
So stay with me because we need to talk about
the legislation that could force the government's hand. The fight
over the NDAA is getting serious, and twenty twenty six
might be the turning point. Every year, Congress passes the
National Defense Authorization Act, or the NDAA. This is the

(05:43):
law that sets the defense budget and policies for the
Department of Defense. Over the past four years, UAP provisions
keyword provisions, have been subtily added to the NDAA. Let's
take a look at that timeline. In twenty twenty two,
Section sixteen eighty three established the office that would become ARROW,

(06:03):
and it created standardized procedure for collecting and analyzing UAP
incidents and required annual reports to Congress. Up until twenty
twenty six, were hitting that threshold. Right now. And then
in twenty twenty three, Section sixteen seventy three created secure
reporting procedures and whistleblower protections. This protected government employees from

(06:25):
retaliation if they came forward with UAP information. It also
required ARROW to conduct a historical record review dating back
to nineteen forty five. Then, in twenty twenty four, sections
eighteen forty one through eighteen forty three required the National
Archives to create a UAP records collection within sixty days.
Section sixteen eighty seven and seventy three forty three prohibited

(06:49):
spending on special access UAP programs unless Congress was briefed.
In twenty twenty five that NDAA mandated a Comptroller General
review of arrow's implications. But of course here's the catch.
Each year, the stronger transparency provisions have been stripped out

(07:09):
before final passage. In twenty twenty three, Senator Chuck Schumer
and Senator Mike Rounds introduced the UAP Disclosure Act, often
called the UAPDA, and this legislation was modeled after the
JFK Records Collection Act from nineteen ninety two. The original
bill had three major components. First, it would create a

(07:30):
UAP records collection at the National Archives. Second, it would
establish an independent review board appointed by the President to
oversee declassification. And third, it would grant the government eminent
domain over recovered technologies of unknown origin held by private contractors.
That third provision is very significant. It would have allowed

(07:51):
the government to reclaim any exotic materials that defense companies
might be holding. The bill passed the Senate with bipartisan support,
but when it hit the House it was absolutely gutted.
Congressman Mike Turner, then chair of the House Intelligence Committee,
and Mike Rogers, chair of the House Armed Services Committee,
led efforts to strip out the key provisions. The independent

(08:15):
review board was removed. The eminent domain provision was also removed.
The same pattern repeated in twenty twenty four Rounds and
Schumer reintroduced the UAPDA and it was again excluded from
the final NDAA. So what about now? The fiscal year
twenty twenty six NDAA includes new UAP provisions. Tank I

(08:36):
listen to these ones. These ones are pretty interesting. Requires
briefings on UAP intercepts conducted by NORAD, the North American
Aerospace Defense Command, and NORTHCOMB the United States Northern Command.
The first briefing must include details of any UAP intercepts
going back to January first, two thousand and four. Section

(08:56):
requires that every element of the intelligence community make UAP
data available immediately to Arrow. Section choires Arrow to account
for all security classification guides that apply to UAP investigations.
When asked whether President Trump is thinking about disclosure, Alizondo
was cautiously optimistic.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yes, there's a tremendous opportunity here for our president to
be the first sitting president to say, yes, this is
real and this is a problem. But there's also a
tremendous amount of risk because if it turns out that
there is some sort of foreign adversarial involvement behind this,
there's some sort of new type of stealth reconnaissance capability.
Let's say that country X developed or something like that,

(09:38):
and we go out on a limb and say that
these things are all because of this, and it turns
out there actually because of that, then that's a risk
as well, and that can actually be used to discredit
you and to hurt your efforts. So the president, all
presidents have to be and this is why they have
so many advisors. They have to weigh the pros and
cons of what they say public.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
But Alizondo also acknowledged the overall complexity. Disclosure is not
just a national security conversation. It affects people philosophically, theologically, psychologically,
and even sociologically. The question is whether the administration will
act on this. The NDAA conference negotiations are expected very soon,

(10:21):
and that is when we will learn what UAP provisions
survive and whether the Full Disclosure Act even has a chance.
But here's my question for you. Do you think we
need a dedicated UAP zar in the White House? Would
that cut through bureaucracy or just add another layer? Leave
your thoughts in the comments. I'm Christina Gomez and that

(10:42):
