Steve Bassett, founder of Paradigm Research Group, lays out a starkly simple target that reshapes everything we think we know about UAPs: one formal statement from a head of state confirming a non-human presence. That’s Disclosure—with a capital D—and it turns years of witness testimony, hearings, and media coverage into a single, decisive moment that ends the truth embargo.
We dig into how language has been strategy. Swapping “UFO” for “UAP” sheds stigma. Reframing “cover-up” as a “truth embargo” changes minds without criminalizing insiders. From there, we track the dominoes: high-profile podcast appearances by officials, lawmakers going on record, a growing public archive at the National Archives, and a major documentary, The Age of Disclosure, built with industry-grade craft and unprecedented access. Bassett argues these aren’t coincidences but coordinated signals that the center cannot hold.
We also explore what comes after the mic drop. A presidential confirmation unlocks an orderly, lawful release of details via a strengthened UAP Disclosure Act and a review framework that keeps national security intact while informing the public. We spotlight the return of the State of the World Forum, with new tracks on non-human intelligence, artificial intelligence, planetary systems, and Psionics—plus “elegant science” like the VASCO project linking historic sky anomalies to the nuclear age. The question isn’t whether there’s enough proof; it’s whether we’re ready for the moment that makes it official.
