The UAP Threat Narrative: A Calculated Strategy or Real Danger? (Richard Dolan)

In this commentary, Richard Dolan explores the strategic use of national security threats by figures like Christopher Mellon and Luis Elizondo to force a public conversation on UFOs in Washington, D.C.

He suggests that the focus on potential risks is a tactical maneuver designed to capture the attention of politicians and the media, rather than an attempt to incite fear.

Dolan highlights a profound frustration with the government's historical inaction, contrasting the current lack of transparency with significant past events like the Sputnik launch. He also reflects on how cultural shifts have accelerated the legitimacy of the subject, making it more respectable in the mainstream
