Joseph Trevithick

Joseph Trevithick is a senior staff writer at the-war-zone (twz.com), covering military aviation, weapons systems, and anomalous aerial events. Trevithick is a recurring skeptical byline on the UAP/PURSUE beat, with a running argument that the U.S. military releases sensor imagery quickly when narratively convenient (e.g., the 2023 China spy balloon, Iranian drone/rocket footage) but slow-walks UAP-related releases — pointing in particular to the still-withheld imagery from the 2023 shootdowns of three unidentified objects over the U.S. and Canada.
