Who they are

Tim Gallaudet is a retired U.S. Navy rear admiral and former NOAA official who testified about UAP in November 2024. His statement recounts receiving a Navy safety email during a 2015 exercise and later finding it absent. He advocates greater transparency; the account is his recollection, while his explanation involving compartmented programs is an inference.

He links naval operational concerns and former-official testimony to the modern UAP oversight debate.

    Written Testimony by Dr. Tim Gallaudet, Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy (Ret.)

    Gallaudet recounts receiving a 2015 Navy safety email and says it subsequently disappeared from recipients’ accounts. He uses that account to argue for UAP transparency; his interpretation of secrecy is distinct from an independently inspected email or program record.

    Reading scope & citation

    Title, prior offices, account of the 2015 email and transparency recommendations, PDF pages 1–3. His statements about a removed email and a compartmented program are attributed recollection and interpretation; the original email was not inspected.
