Template to the Department of Defense: The testimony indicated that covert programs involving UAP have been shielded from appropriate congressional review. These programs reportedly include efforts to recover and reverse-engineer advanced technologies, yet they operate without lawful authorization or adequate accountability measures.


Dear Secretary of Defense,

Michael Shellenberger’s testimony to Congress presented substantial evidence that the Department of Defense is withholding critical information about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). This lack of transparency not only undermines congressional oversight but also raises concerns about the ethical management of classified programs.

The testimony indicated that covert programs involving UAP have been shielded from appropriate congressional review. These programs reportedly include efforts to recover and reverse-engineer advanced technologies, yet they operate without lawful authorization or adequate accountability measures.

This behavior has serious implications for national security and public trust. It also hinders the scientific and defense communities from advancing research into these phenomena, potentially stalling technological innovation and risk mitigation.

Transparency is essential to restoring credibility. I urge the Department to release all UAP-related information to Congress as required by law and to support whistleblowers who come forward with evidence of wrongdoing.

As an American citizen, I am deeply concerned about the ethical and legal violations exposed by Shellenberger’s testimony. The Department of Defense must address these issues promptly to uphold its responsibility to the nation.

Best Regards,
[Your Name]
