Reporters Leslie Kean, Ralph Blumenthal, and Helene Cooper published a front-page New York Times investigation disclosing the previously secret AATIP program, its association with the To The Stars Academy and figures including Luis Elizondo, and released the Gimbal Video footage to the public for the first time.
Assessment
The Pentagon subsequently confirmed the accuracy of the story’s core facts regarding AATIP’s existence and funding, though it disputed some characterizations of the program’s scope. The article is widely credited with ending several decades of taboo around mainstream U.S. media coverage of the UAP topic and catalyzing subsequent congressional interest.
