Activity

• January 2026 — Organized a two-part Capitol Hill effort marking the 30th anniversary of the varginha-incident: a closed Jan 15 congressional meeting in Rep. tim-burchett’s office and a Jan 20 National Press Club conference. Brought three Brazilian witnesses — neurosurgeon italo-venturelli, pilot carlos-de-sousa, and pathologist armando-fortunato — to Washington and recorded six visa-denied witnesses in Brazil; his new documentary expands the 2022 Moment of Contact (investigating with Brazilian partner Marco Aurelio Leal for 20+ years). Rep. eric-burlison called for the uap-disclosure-act and standalone uap-whistleblower-protections. Fox recounted AARO director Jon Kosloski telling him, “I can’t part my hair without the approval of the DOD.” (src-burlison-marching-orders-2026-01, src-varginha-capitol-hill-2026)
• June 9, 2026 — Co-hosting (with journalist leslie-kean) a Capitol Hill UAP disclosure press conference headlined by whistleblower david-grusch, with Reps. eric-burlison, anna-paulina-luna, tim-burchett, and jared-moskowitz rallying around the uap-disclosure-act. Fox: “reality should not be classified.” (src-grusch-disclosure-press-conference-2026-05) At the presser he raised the 1996 Varginha case, citing former Brazilian defense minister aldo-rebelo, and requested Trump declassify all Varginha files (src-lawmakers-crash-retrieval-immunity-2026-06).
