Given the existence of the UAPTF, we tried to know
more about this Task Force and on September 17, 2021, I called by phone the
U.S. Navy Commander Michael P. Cody of the Defense Press Operations.
At his suggestion, I sent a letter to Ms. Susan Gough of
Public Affairs within the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
Our questions and the reply we obtained from Ms. Gough could
be found in our article published on September 22, 2021, on this webpage.
Then, we sent an e-mail to the Director of the National
Intelligence, (Ms.Avril Hains) Press Office to no avail
Given the fact that the military side was not ready to
simply tell us if there would be a second report to the Senate by the UAPTF, we
decided to appeal to the Legislative Body.
Therefore, we filled a form requesting information from the
Chairman of
the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Senator Mark
Warner, Democrat for Virginia.
Regretfully we didn't obtain an answer.
We continue our effort to get a reply and we filled
a form
directed to the Vice-Chairman of the Committee on Intelligence, Senator Marco
Rubio, Republican from Florida.
Senator Rubio kindly replied to our request sending us the
following letter:
From: Senator Marco Rubio

Following the indication of Sen. Rubio, we filled a form
requesting the same information to the Hon. Chuck Grassley, Republican Senator
fromIowa.
On Monday 15, November 11, 2021, Senator Grassley promised
us to get an answer, and on November 30, he was so kind to send us a letter
keeping his promise. Here is the document:
November 30, 2021
Dear Milton:
Thank you for taking the time to contact me with your
concerns regarding a report on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). As your
senator, it is important to me that I hear from you.
I appreciate hearing from you about the Senate Select
Committee on Intelligence, specifically, if the Committee has received
additional reports on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). The June 25 report
regarding a preliminary assessment on UAP was provided to Congress following
the enactment of the Intelligence Authorization Act (IAA) for fiscal year 2021.
The fiscal year 2021 IAA directed the Office of the Director of National
Intelligence to submit a report to Congress within 180 days, and there was not
a requirement for additional reports.
You may be interested to know that S.2610, the Intelligence
Authorization Act (IAA) for fiscal year 2022 includes a provision directing the
Office of the Director of National Intelligence to submit its next report on
UAP within 90 days after enactment of the bill and at least quarterly moving
forward. Therefore, I do anticipate that the relevant congressional committees
will receive additional reports in the future.
As your senator, I will continue to evaluate legislation
that comes before the Senate regarding U.S. policies related to UAP.
Thank you again for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to
reach out if I can be of any help in the future. Keep in touch.
Sincerely,

United States Senator
We are very grateful to Senator Chuck Grassley whose action
deserves to be emphasized as well as his disposition to bring his help in the
future.
Now we will be giving our attention to the activity of the
new entity recently created, the Airborne Object Identification and Management
Synchronization Group (AOIMSG), because –as it says at the end of the official
announcement of November 23, 2021: "In coming weeks, the Department will
issue implementing guidance, which will contain further details on the AOIMSG
Director, organizational structure, authorities, and resourcing"
