The Modern Day UFO Disinformation Agent - Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick's Lies
A rebuttal of Sean Kirkpatrick's January 2024 Scientific American op-ed. Gerb answers the claim that no whistleblower came to AARO with posts from Mellon and Elizondo and with Jacobs's testimony, quotes the DoD Inspector General's finding that DoD has no overarching UAP policy, and lists Kirkpatrick's later business links and the SancorP support contract. The db keeps the factual claims and leaves out the name-calling.
