TOTAL HERMETICISM
Having passed almost 3 months from
June 25, 2021, the already historical date in which the UAPTF presented a report to
the federal Senate of the United States, I considered prudent and also
opportune to pose some questions to know --if it was possible-- something
more about the UAPTF itself and its work until now.
With that purpose, I've got in
contact with the Pentagon where a Naval Commander suggested writing an email to
Ms. Susan L. Gough, who deals with Public Affairs within the Office of the
Secretary of Defense.
Therefore, on September 17, 2021, I
sent to Sue Gough the following email:
Ms. Susan Gough:
I am writing to you based on the recommendation
of CDR Michael P. Cody of Defense Press Operations.
Let me briefly introduce myself. I am a U.S.
citizen, worked at the Voice of America until January 30, 2007. I am a writer
–6 books— and a lecturer dealing with the UAP subject considered from a
scientific viewpoint.
As an investigator and scholar, I have dedicated
63 years of my life dealing with the UAP subject, and currently, I am the
International Coordinator of the UAPSG –Unusual Aerial Phenomena Study Group— a
non-profit organization that has a web page written in English and Spanish (https://www.uapsg.com/ > ) and
gathers a selected number of people (85) including scientists, professionals,
investigators, journalists, etc., from Australia, Europe, and the
Americas.
I had the distinction –together with Mr.
Vicente-Juan Ballester Olmos from Valencia, Spain— to be nominated as honorary
International Advisor to the CIAE (Aero-Space Identification Center) belonging
to the Argentinean Air Force.
Due to the creation and work of the UAPTF, about
which I wrote some articles in the webpage already referred, and I follow with
real interest, I would like to pose some questions that I hope you will be able
to reply to.
I understand that –for security reasons— there
could be questions that could not have an answer, but I am making them general
enough that I suppose all of them could be answered.
Here they are:
1) How many people work at the UAPTF? How many
of them are military and how many civilians?
2) How many scientists and other professionals
participate in the UAPTF? Do they belong directly to the Task Force or do they
operate as consultants?
3) Would you mind specifying some of their
specializations?
4) Can you provide the name of a relevant
scientist working with the UAPTF?
5) Apart from the original 144 reports received
by the UAPTF, how many reports have been added so far to that original number,
until today?
6) If it is possible to say: how many UAP
reports have been resolved and in which of the “five potential explanatory
categories” referred by the UAPTF in its Preliminary Assessment they fall?
7) Could a new report from the UAPTF be expected
for the coming month of October?
I thank you deeply for your reply to these
questions and any other thing that you can consider important to have into
account.
I support the work of the UAPTF and its down-to-earth
and sensible approach.
I thank you so much for your
attention.
Sincerely,
Mg. Milton W. Hourcade

I was told that she was on vacation, but she
will return the following week. And effectively, on September 20, 2021, I
received the following answer, that it is obviously a standard one
prepared and sent to everyone who could ask something about the
UAP subject or the UAPTF.
Mr. Hourcade,
To protect our people, maintain
operations security and safeguard intelligence methods, we do not publicly
discuss the details of UAP observations or examinations, or the UAP Task Force
and its activities, beyond what was included the UAP Report to Congress.
As the congressional requirement for the UAP Report to Congress directed the
Director of National Intelligence (DNI) to submit the report, I refer you to
their public affairs office regarding any further reports.
Regards,
Sue Gough
Department of Defense
spokesperson
*************************************
I thank Ms. Gough for her prompt
reply, but the text of her email means that nobody, except the people working
in the UAPTF, the Director of National Intelligence, and the members of the
Intelligence Committee of the Senate will know exactly what is going on.
Given the fact that Congress has to
receive reports from the UAPTF every 90 days, we can suppose that on September
24, 2021, there will be another report.
Maybe then, we will be able to know
something more from a Non-Classified document, as it happened before.
In the meantime, the clear policy
applied is a total hermeticism.
