Summary
A October 2022 exclusive from christopher-sharp at liberation-times reporting that new public Congressional UAP hearings were imminent once the FY2023 NDAA — containing Intelligence Authorization Act whistleblower immunity language — was signed into law. Multiple political and defense sources told the outlet that Congress had already verified a “substantial amount of information” involving secretive UAP retrieval and back-engineering programs, and that whistleblowers had been contacted but were awaiting legal protections before coming forward. jeremy-corbell and george-knapp are quoted asserting that individuals with direct roles in legacy UAP programs were prepared to testify. A DoD insider noted that NDAA language, including the January 1, 1947 reference date for a Comptroller General review, was deliberately shaped by information provided in closed-door lawmaker meetings with current and former government insiders. This article is a foundational early source in the whistleblower-to-hearing pipeline that culminated in the 2023–2024 aaro testimony cycle.
Key Claims

- Whistleblowers had been contacted to speak before Congress but were awaiting protections; some know “the buildings where this stuff is stashed.” (george-knapp)
- Fear of reprisal is the primary barrier to testimony; DoD pushback against disclosure intensified as public awareness grew. (jeremy-corbell)
- IAA 2023 whistleblower immunity language was described by Sen. marco-rubio as “the most consequential [Intelligence Reauthorization] ever offered.”
- People within DoD and the Intelligence Community urged accelerated disclosure due to escalating U.S.–Russia tensions. (Liberation Times sources)
