Background Recent congressional hearings and investigations have brought increased attention to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) and potential Non-Human Intelligence (NHI) technology. Notable witnesses like David Grusch and Luis Elizondo have previously come forward with claims about the U.S. government's involvement with UAP and alleged NHI technology. The Department of Defense and NASA have established offices dedicated to investigating UAP reports, though they maintain there is no evidence of extraterrestrial technology in government possession.
Resolution Criteria This market will resolve based on the number of individuals who come forward during January 2025 claiming firsthand, direct observation or interaction with technology that they assert is of non-human origin and in U.S. government possession. To qualify:
Witnesses must make their claims publicly (through media appearances, congressional testimony, or official statements)
Claims must specifically relate to direct, personal observation of alleged NHI technology
Witnesses must be new (not individuals who have previously made such claims)
Claims must explicitly state the technology is in U.S. government possession
Anonymous sources or unverified claims will not count
Considerations
Government classification and non-disclosure agreements may limit potential witnesses' ability to come forward
The political climate and any ongoing investigations could influence the likelihood of new testimonies
The credibility or verification of claims is not a factor in resolution, only that the claims meet the above criteria
If multiple witnesses come forward as part of a coordinated group disclosure, each individual making qualifying claims will be counted separately
@FranklinBaldo there is two Jake Barber colleagues already , but I am not confident they had first hand experience. If they have, why the NewsNation special highlight only Jake?
