Detail
In December 2017, The New York Times published a report revealing the Pentagon's secret UAP investigation program AATIP and released the Tic-Tac and Gimbal gun-camera videos alongside it. The story forced the first official U.S. acknowledgment that UAP were a subject of active military concern. Former AATIP director Luis Elizondo went public, and mainstream media coverage of the topic shifted permanently — widely seen as the start of the modern disclosure movement.
