If this turns out to be the Sarfatti email chain I might die of laughter.
I say this with all due respect. A lot of people in the IC saw the email thread with you (and other DOD contractors) being shown things that you and the rest acknowledged weren't us and don't know what or where they are from. I'll let the people that went to you tell that one.

Now that Jake Barber (@jakebarber2025) has been hired by @EricBurlison, @RepEricBurlison, it might be a good time for Burlison and other members of Congress to review the quoted post below that contains screenshots of DMs that Barber sent to me that clearly indicate intimidation and grooming tactics. If he’s working for and being paid by our government using our tax dollars, maybe he should be looked into his behaviors when he first became public as a “whistleblower”.
Vibes of Intimidation, Potential Grooming Tactics in DMs To Me From Jake Barber about Skywatcher Event in Palmdale, CA. In a shocking and somewhat alarming set of Direct Messages (DMs), Jake Barber (@jakebarber2025) reached out to me in an odd invitation to a future Skywatcher (@SkywatcherHQ) event in Palmdale, CA. Which should be exciting, but the undertones of the messages are what threw up immediate red flags. The initial message, sent to me without a request from me to DM or invitation, was sent by Jake to me in an obvious attempt to convince me that I was on the proverbial “wrong side of history”. Here’s what threw flags for me: 1) From the first paragraph throughout the entire message, Jake never refers to himself as “I” or “me”, but “we” and “us”. Notice, this isn’t from the Skywatcher account. It’s from his personal account. So who is we? 2) “I would encourage you to leave yourself a path out” - I’ve been told this before and it’s a tactic used to make a person believe that the inevitable is on the horizon and I’m on the wrong side and will want to be forgiven when I’m wrong. He goes on to say “there are things happening that you don’t understand” - again, insinuating that the inevitable is happening and I’m uneducated/ignorant about it. But what else could be happening then what he’s already shown? 3) “There is a complex disclosure plan underway that is seven years in the making” which is “genuinely for the welfare of humanity - including you” - again, insinuating that I’m on the wrong side of history”disclosure” and that I should consider switching my stance. 4) Here is where the scare tactic comes into play: “We know who you are and your “work” history” - this is a bit unsettling as my complete identity isn’t public and especially my “work” history. I actually ask him multiple times to clarify what he means and he still has not answered the question in detail. 5) “You have an opportunity to be an important voice in the movement. This is an invitation to end up on the right side and see what is really going on” - This is where the feeling of a potential grooming tactic starts: to be an important voice in the “movement”. Keep reading to see why. 6) Why was a I targeted? “Specifically you because your background and personal interests are in alignment with ours” - Umm. What? My only background that aligns with any of them is I’m a veteran. Other than that, I don’t believe what they’re doing is anything noteworthy or works. This is what I’ve been saying about veterans being targeted in this community. There is a reason: resume = credibility, not evidence or proof. “We believe you can still be spared from agency paid propagandists. The others - not so much” - Who are “the others”? There are several other messages where I was showing interest in attending but after analyzing the messages, talking to several people inside of the community and outside, it was advised that I not accept the invitation. I was informed that during the filming of the last episode of Skywatcher, that several of the “crew” were armed with rifles while on the premises. Why? They rented the property (see @dave_beaty post). To me, it’s a major risk on my part (and anyone else’s) to go to a random place in the middle of nowhere with people I don’t know personally who may be suffering from undiagnosed mental instabilities or PTSD and are armed. It sounds like a potential recipe for disaster, especially for someone like me that would ask critical questions and not sugar coat anything. It is my belief that there is an attempt underway to target and manipulate veterans (specifically those with any type of characteristics of PTSD) to partake in this seemingly cult-like group of individuals who have been caught multiple times lying about their backgrounds, specifically Barber. This is a PSA to the community.

ALIEN PHOTOS AND YANKEE BLUE In July 2026, I submitted a number of written questions to former AARO Director Sean Kirkpatrick, as part of my research for an article that I haven't published yet. One of my questions (#1) pertained to photos that a number of people claim to have seen, purportedly depicting recovered non-human vehicles and/or bodies. As an example, I quoted this statement by David Grusch: "I did get access to crash retrieval photos and everything. So I’ve seen the recovered vehicles and everything...I got a small smattering, a sample of that, of ones that have landed or crashed on the surface of the Earth." (Fox News Big Weekend Show, June 13, 2026) The core of my question #1 was: "Let us assume for the sake of discussion that at least some of those individuals, while holding security clearances and in some cases while serving as active intelligence officers, did indeed view in classified settings images that they sincerely believe depicted craft of nonhuman origin and/or bodies of nonhuman beings. I have to wonder: What did they see?" I also asked Kirkpatrick, as Question #2, if he could offer any specifics that might help those filing FOIAs to locate government records pertaining to the "Yankee Blue" fake-alien enterprise that he and former AARO Deputy Director Tim Phillips said they had discovered. Kirkpatrick has spoken of the Yankee Blue matter in the Wall Street Journal in mid-2025, and in an April 2026 speech. But the matter was kept out of AARO's March 2024 Volume I historical report, ostensibly to allow the Air Force inspector general to fully investigate the matter, and the volume 2 historical report is two years overdue. The Pentagon has mysteriously failed to locate records documenting Yankee Blue in response to FOIA requests. Kirkpatrick provided on-the-record answers in an email dated July 19, 2026. Note that this was about three months before the publication of the book "Out of the Shadows" by former UAP Task Force Director @jaystratton. The book includes Stratton's account of a briefing he gave to Kirkpatrick in 2020 at USSPACECOM (on page 200). Because Kirkpatrick discusses the same meeting, and also answered my question about Yankee Blue records, and because my intended article is not yet ready for publication, I've decided to publish Kirkpatrick's responses now as additional data points for those studying and debating the relevant histories. Sean Kirkpatrick's answers to my Questions #1 and #2 appear verbatim below. I offer no comments of my own here; when I transmit someone's answers that does not mean that I endorse them. When I want to express an opinion on something, I will do so explicitly. In the meantime, Kirkpatrick's answers are data points. Compare and contrast them with information from other sources. If you have pertinent comments on his specific answers or the underlying subjects (those being purported photos of in-custody nonhuman craft or bodies, the Kirkpatrick-Stratton encounter at USSPACECOM, and Yankee Blue), state your observations in a straightforward manner, or make your arguments on the merits. Those who instead post here ad hominem attacks on Kirkpatrick, Stratton, Phillips, David Grusch, or others, will probably be blocked. This is not a thread about Skinwalker Ranch, or briefings and claims associated therewith. ***** ANSWERS BY SEAN KIRKPATRICK (July 19, 2026): 1. Jay Stratton briefed me while I was at USSPACECOM. I’d known him before. He showed me everything he had and what he had gathered at the time was nothing more than the collection of videos and frames pulled from the videos that have already been released to the public. He had briefed me to get my review of their analysis, and to be a reviewer of his first task force report [the UAP Task Force]. The analysis needed a lot of work and the report, when provided, was filled with unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, most of which were written by Grusch who worked with Stratton at the time. The report had to be massively corrected/rewritten (others did that, not me, I just provided edits and comments). As for pictures of crafts or bodies, he had none to share. Frankly, neither did anyone else, just stories. What I saw from Yankee Blue showed a real photograph on what looked to be a saucer shape with someone in a lab coat standing over it. Since it was a real photograph, people would accept it for what they see in it. If you look at it and are told that’s an alien craft, you’d probably believe it at first review. The mind sees what it wants to believe. It’s not until you learn that it is a photograph of the heat shield of the lunar lander upside down that your mind sees the truth. If Grusch (or anyone else) saw these alleged pictures, then where are they? Who showed them to him? Where did he see them? What organization? When? I suspect his answer will be “it’s classified and I can’t share it.” BS. He had and still has an opportunity to share with the Director AARO who is cleared and has authorities to view. No such information has been shared by him or anyone. 2. I was present with the Secretary of the Air Force when he directed his staff to take action [regarding Yankee Blue]. Other than the ensuing IG review I do not know what form that action took. It was also nearing the change in administration and subsequently the change in AF [Air Force] leadership, and there was a lot lost in translation.

Two officially released AAWSAP reports vs. "AAWSAP reports" that appeared in the PURSUE 7 release. See the difference? It is clear to me there is a stark difference (classification markings, formatting, contract number references etc) between the two. Why is this important? It shows a clear difference between what AAWSAP was officially (with the exception of 1, no DIRD talks about UFOs) and what it was for BAASS... then later framed erroneously by those spreading stories and outlandish UNPROVEN claims to media, blogs and podcasts. What exactly did AAWSAP do vs. what it was supposed to do? Again, I'll let the public decide on if it all was a proper appropriation of funds, or funded by someone else, and later, not framed right in the public spotlight for further financial gain. But both sides of the conversation (government, and those in the private sector) have seriously muddied this entire story, offering their own version of the "facts", and constantly contradicting each other. In addition, those financially benefiting in their own way pushing these stories for years, offer very little in the realm of asking the right questions, or pushing the issue of these contradictions. Why is that? More people should be asking. The time for more "ground breaking" books for $22.99, and "it's classified, I can't tell you" when the questions begin to be asked, has long gotten old.

UAPTF (UAP Task Force) all have benefitted monetarily from their involvement with UFOs and the narrative of a conspiracy of the U.S. Govt, DoD (DoW), and IC obtaining and concealing alien spacecraft and bodies. Lue Elizondo - books, shows, podcasts, paid speaking tours, news segments, etc. David Grusch - podcasts, producer or consultant on multiple films and shows, speaking engagements, news segments, etc. Travis Taylor - multiple shows including Skinwalker Ranch, books, speaking engagements, conventions, etc. Jay Stratton - documentaries, appearances on Skinwalker Ranch, speaking engagements, conventions, books, news segments, podcasts, etc. It’s not a coincidence. You’re belief in a phenomenon is being monetized by those who embellish claims with no evidence via their government resumes.

David Grusch’s lawsuit update: 
A hearing is set for November 20, 2026, in his FOIA case against the Department of Defense (1:26-cv-00607, E.D. Virginia). Grusch is seeking 2023 records from the Senior Intelligence Oversight Official’s office about any “unauthorized disclosure complaint” involving him or UAP/UFO terms. DoD released 40 pages (out of ~6,632 potentially responsive) that include a letter confirming an Air Force phone call raised concerns but that no formal complaint was filed with that office. The only remaining issue is whether DoD’s search was adequate. Both sides have moved for summary judgment; the November 20 hearing will address that. Here are the main public links to the case: •CourtListener (best free source for the docket and many filings):

How many people heard Jay Stratton say on ‘Age of Disclosure’ he’d seen alien craft and beings and assumed it was inside a government program or hangar? Turns out it was personal sightings at Skinwalker Ranch. How long was that mystery hyped before we actually learned the details? And how many will be misled again when his sensationalized, dramatized series comes out?
Jay Stratton says the UFO craft and alien being he saw with his own eyes were both at Skinwalker Ranch & not inside a government facility. 🧐

Jay Stratton reveals that his statements about seeing UFOs and nonhuman beings with his own eyes actually took place at Skinwalker Ranch. This is important because that means he's lying.

Hey @LueElizondo - eat a bag of dicks. I served in the USAF. I wore that uniform. I took the oath. And I am done being polite about this. On April 10, 2023, you posted this: “I’m aware of all the facts regarding this true story and to call it a bombshell story would be an understatement. Buckle up!” You linked the Deadline piece about Simon & Schuster winning the rights to Scott Andrews’ memoir. He claimed was pulled out of school for weeks every year from 1St through 12th grade, received an honorable discharge from the U.S. Air Force, and worked in “space intelligence communications” as a MINOR, while having zero memory of any of it, before later developing remote viewing and suffering Havana Syndrome symptoms after getting too close to the truth about some classified program. You didn’t just share the article. You vouched for it. You said you know “all the facts.” You called it true. You told people to buckle up. That is an active endorsement of the claim that the USAF ran a sanctioned program that removed kids from school, put them into classified intelligence work, and erased their memories. YOU are un-American. YOU are unpatriotic. And it is personally offensive to every one of us who actually served. We did not enlist so that 3 year enlisted puke turned civilian contractor turned celebrity and a fictitious bullshit memoir author could try to rewrite the USAF as a child-recruiting operation that traffics in psychic kids and memory wipes. The Air Force I served in does not kidnap grade-schoolers, stick them in space intel, and then gaslight them about their own service records. We do not run “sanctioned” programs that treat children as disposable assets for whatever remote-viewing or bullshit fantasy is currently being sold to publishers. The idea that we would is a SLANDER against the institution, against the people who raised their right hands, and against the families who trusted us with their sons and daughters when those kids were old enough to volunteer as adults. You may not know how the military actually works, having only served 3 years - but you should. But you still put your name and your “former Pentagon / proud veteran” disgusting branding behind a story that requires the USAF to have systematically exploited children. You didn’t say “interesting claim, needs evidence.” You said the facts are known to you and the story is true. That is permission-giving for the worst kind of conspiracy garbage aimed at the service that trains, equips, and deploys the people who actually defend this country. I am angry because I watched young airmen show up, learn the job, take the risks, and carry the weight. Some of them came home broken. Some didn’t come home. None of them were grade-schoolers pulled out of class for secret space duty. To suggest otherwise, and to have someone who markets himself as a veteran bless it, is a betrayal of the trust that uniform is supposed to represent. You’re not a patriot. You’re lying scum that’s providing bullshit disinformation that enemies of the United States can exploit for division and distrust. If the claim were real, the evidence would not be a father’s file, recovered memories, and a book deal. It would be in the personnel system, the medical records, the legal paper trail, and the people who would have had to sign off on it. None of that has been produced. What has been produced is a sales pitch, and your pathetic opportunistic ass chose to amplify it. I am not interested in your bullshit books, your interviews of curated bullshit, or your carefully managed image as the man who “did the right thing.” You endorsed the idea that the Air Force exploited children in a sanctioned program - you crossed a line that veterans do not get to cross without consequence. We do not get to casually endorse stories that make the service look like a child-abusing enterprise and still expect the people who actually wore the blue to stay quiet. Fuck you.

Kean is the granddaughter of Congressman Robert Kean. Her uncle is former New Jersey Governor Thomas Kean, and her cousin is Congressman Thomas Kean Jr. The New Yorker reported in 2021 that she has "a modest family income" (income derived from inherited wealth), grew up in New York City and attended Spence School and Bard College, helped "to found a Zen center in upstate New York". Career Kean worked as a photographer at the Lab of Ornithology at Cornell University.After visiting Burma to interview political prisoners in the 1990s, she began working as an investigative journalist, producer, and on-air host at KPFA, a Berkeley, California-based radio station and the flagship station of the Pacifica Radio Network and for Flashpoints, a left-wing drive-time news program covering wrongful convictions, the death penalty, and other criminal-justice issues. Kean has published works relating to UFOs since 2000, and has been a guest on Coast to Coast AM. Her book UFOs: Generals, Pilots and Government Officials Go on the Record, published by Penguin Random House, was a New York Times best seller. Kean belongs to the UFO organization UFODATA
