RDML Tim Gallaudet, USN (Ret.) — ex-NOAA.
documentedsource_actorSOF/JSOC UAP Retrieval Claim
[DOCUMENTED] Oceanographer, retired Navy Rear Admiral; former Acting NOAA Administrator / Acting Under Secretary of Commerce. Testified at the Nov 13 2024 House Oversight hearing. [CLAIM] Says credible whistleblowers indicate UAP, NHI and 'technology of unknown origin' (TUO) are real and that elements of govt run a disinformation campaign.
[DOCUMENTED] Centered his testimony on a 2015 USS Theodore Roosevelt exercise: an 'URGENT SAFETY OF FLIGHT ISSUE' email (the 'GoFast'/near-midair video) that vanished from his and others' accounts the next day; he inferred a compartmented SAP he was not read into. [CLAIM] Testified UAP/NHI/TUO mean 'we are not the only advanced intelligence,' described an hours-long AARO 'influence operation' targeting him, and emphasizes transmedium/USO ('water space') observations. Recommended a UAP Records Review Board. The 'we have the craft'/possession framing is a paraphrase of his advocacy; his explicit on-record claim is capability/NHI, not personal physical possession.
