OFFICIAL RECORD
Pentagon issues legal waiver letting personnel disclose UAP information to PURSUE
The US Department of War announced on 14 September that it has issued a legal waiver letting current and former military, civilian and contractor personnel disclose unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) information to representatives of PURSUE, the Trump administration's disclosure programme, without facing enforcement action under their non-disclosure agreements or Special Access Program Indoctrination Agreements. The department said the waiver covers only authorised communications with PURSUE representatives, not public disclosure, and that submissions undergo security review before any information is released. Jordan Flowers, of the Disclosure Foundation, told DefenseScoop that "removing those barriers matters." Former NASA official Michael Gold called the move "nearly, if not entirely, unprecedented," according to The Debrief.
