Trump Orders NDA Waivers for Ex-Officials in UAP Probes as Pentagon Releases 2025 Yellow Sea Footage

Summary
Federal agencies have been told to waive prior nondisclosure agreements for former employees and contractors who want to share UAP information with Pentagon investigators or Trump’s PURSUE task force.
The move is meant to remove a key deterrent: officials said potential witnesses feared violating secrecy agreements, losing clearances or facing civil or criminal penalties if they spoke without authorization.
A senior administration official said the order is not a blanket declassification directive; witnesses must first speak through cleared government channels, and any new material would still go through normal declassification review.
The Pentagon paired the directive with another file release, including expanded details from a 2015 Pantex incident and infrared footage of a six-pointed star-shaped object tracked over the Yellow Sea on Jan. 1, 2025.
The step follows years of congressional pressure, whistleblower claims and AARO reviews that found no verified evidence of extraterrestrial technology, even as lawmakers argued secrecy rules were keeping firsthand witnesses silent.
