The big thing according to the article below is the Pentagon proposes   
   only to look at UFO's that intrude into their reserved airspace.   
   Must be in the secret treaty terms. ;)   
      
   I'm also finalising another rough study for another newsgroup linking   
   US military spend with activities of certain objects in certain regions.   
   It seems one way or another -- either knowingly or "unconsciously"   
   if we can use that term with an industrial/military complex -- the real   
   %gdp spent on the military has been going up and down in response to   
   UFO's being spotted near certain assets. And, no, I'm not talking about   
   nuclear weapons.

   The "Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization   
   Group": Try Saying That Three Times Fast   
      
   "Today, Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks, in close   
   collaboration with the Director of National Intelligence, directed the   
   Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence & Security to establish   
   within the Office of the USD(I&S) the Airborne Object Identification   
   and Management Synchronization Group (AOIMSG) as the successor to the   
   US Navy's Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force," read an   
   official release that appeared at the website of the Dept of Defense.   
      
   As The Debrief reported shortly after the announcement, the DoD   
   statement conveys that the newly established AOIMSG "will synchronize   
   efforts across the Dept and the broader US govt to   
   detect, identify and attribute objects of interests in Special Use   
   Airspace (SUA), and to assess and mitigate any associated threats to   
   safety of flight and national security."A few things are immediately   
   apparent about the DoD's new UAP investigative component. For   
   starters, you know you've picked a bad name when even the abbreviation   
   for your new investigative group (in this case, the AOIMSG) is both   
   unpronounceable, and equally unmemorable. However, if you think that's   
   bad, just have a look at the committee that, according to the release,   
   is "to be comprised of DoD and Intelligence Community membership, and   
   to offer a venue for US govt interagency representation" for   
   the AOIMSG, which the DoD has given the succinct title of "Airborne   
   Object Identification and Management Executive Council," or AOIMEXEC.   
      
   Seriously?   
      
   All that to say that the "Airborne Object Identification and   
   Management Synchronization Group" may be one of the best instances of   
   word salad we have seen in recent memory. Sure, the part about   
   "Airborne Object Identification" makes sense, as does the notion of   
   providing "Management" for that. However, by the time we reach the   
   portion about "Synchronization," things are beginning to make less   
   sense; and why call it a "Group", rather than an "Agency",   
   "Dept", or perhaps even "Program" or "Project"? Maybe it's just   
   me# but referring to the DoD's new UAP investigative element as a mere   
   "Group" helps make an already forgettable name sound even less impactful.   
      
   Of course, I point all of this out because there's a reasonable   
   possibility that this was precisely what the DoD was aiming   
   for. Rather than a catchy name that clings like Velcro to people's   
   minds and possesses an air of authority, maybe the DoD was going for   
   something intentionally forgettable-even on the verge of being   
   unpronounceable-and which seemingly understates the significance of   
   what it is actually tasked with doing: detecting and attempting to   
   identify unknown aerial objects encountered by our military. Funny   
   how, in truth, this task may represent one of the greatest national   
   security challenges-and even potential threats-that our military has   
   faced in recent memory.   
      
   Questions, More Questions, and Problems FOR UAP STUDIES   
      
   As is probably already evident, news of the establishment of the   
   AOIMSG was met with some confusion, particularly because of a proposed   
   amendment to the Fiscal Year 2022 Defense Authorization Act (DAA)   
   recently filed by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, which called for a much   
   more comprehensive version of what the DoD appears to have jumped the   
   gun and put into motion (presently, no information has been made   
   available to the public that indicates there had been any coordination   
   regarding the proposed amendment, and the DoD's establishment of the   
   AOIMSG, at least for now).   
      
   Among the key differences between the proposed program (which   
   Gillibrand referred to as the "Anomaly Surveillance and Resolution   
   Office) and the DoD's AOIMSG is that the latter greatly limits the   
   scope of the UAP investigations proposed in the Gillibrand   
   Amendment. Because of this, the AOIMSG has the outward appearance of   
   being an attempt at circumventing the proposed Gillibrand Amendment,   
   and thereby instituting a new office of UAP investigations by   
   appointment, rather than having one passed into law by Congress.
