July 2026 brought new government records, a delayed AARO report, scientific initiatives and potentially important movement on UAP disclosure legislation.

In this episode, Stu examines the month’s major developments, including AARO’s latest annual report, the extraordinary account of approximately 100 airborne UAP off the Virginia coast, the UAP Science Advisory Council chaired by Avi Loeb, the reported nondisclosure-agreement waiver and the House adoption of a new UAP disclosure framework.

We also briefly revisit the fourth PURSUE records release and consider continuing allegations involving private aerospace contractors.

July did not produce publicly verifiable evidence of extraterrestrial craft or reverse-engineering programmes. However, it may have expanded the processes through which government records, testimony and physical evidence could eventually be examined.

Did the month bring us closer to meaningful disclosure—or merely add another layer of bureaucracy to the subject?

On 31 July 2020, Aliens Explored released its first episodes.

Six years later, the UAP subject has passed through Pentagon video releases, intelligence assessments, congressional hearings, whistleblower testimony, NASA studies, disclosure legislation and official investigations.

In this anniversary special, Stu revisits six major turning points in the modern UAP story and asks whether any of them have brought us substantially closer to understanding what lies behind the phenomenon.

What does “disclosure” actually mean—and would we recognise it if it happened?

In the first instalment of UFOs for Beginners, Stu Jackson and Neil Kelly unpack one of the most commonly used and frequently misunderstood words in ufology.

Does disclosure mean the release of classified documents? An official admission that some sightings remain unexplained? Evidence of technology beyond known human capabilities? Recovered materials, crashed craft, non-human bodies—or direct communication with another intelligence?

Stu outlines eight possible levels of disclosure, while Neil asks what evidence would genuinely be convincing and whether any government announcement could ever satisfy those who believe more information is being withheld.

The discussion also explores catastrophic versus controlled disclosure, scientific peer review, national security, government secrecy, public trust, ontological shock and how confirmation of non-human intelligence might affect everyday life.

This series is designed for anyone who is new to UFOs and UAPs, curious about the subject or looking for a clear introduction without either ridicule or unquestioning belief.

Spoiler notice: This episode contains some discussion of plot elements from the film Disclosure Day.

What would disclosure mean to you—and how would you react if it happened tomorrow?
