Confirmed by Gough:

The Department is aware of Dr. Kirkpatrick’s post, which are his personal opinions expressed in his capacity as a private citizen and we won’t comment directly on the contents of the post.

    They bring up him needing to resign at the end lol

    There is no indication from the DoD that Kirkpatrick is no longer the Director of the AARO, despite publishing the letter, which was likely done without clearance.

    Liberation Times does however understand that Kirkpatrick’s position as AARO Director may be untenable.

    Also “UFO Chief” is a great title. Can’t tell if they’re using it to denigrate him.

      I can’t tell if the author of this article is implying he should resign like you said, or if they we’re hoping to get lucky with a scoop.

      UFO Chief

      Lol, it does sound like a slight, however, I don’t believe it’s intended that way as other articles have referred to him as ‘UFO Chief’
