Leak pass 04: WikiLeaks single-token rerun + Podesta 'UFO' triage (2026-09-27)
Documented What these labels mean →The 22 single-word/variant terms were rerun on WikiLeaks, and 'UFO' was searched inside the Podesta set (~110 emails, none previously in the vault). Most are fan mail and press clips. Nine read in full. New: a 2008 transition-period thread ('UFO questions coming up'; Podesta: 'The American people can handle the truth'); a 2015 exchange where Podesta replies 'More to come' to a report that the CIA had 'frozen' out the Clinton administration on UFOs; Leslie Kean messages (Podesta: 'ongoing relationship with Leslie Kean'); and two 2015 tips from a cleared contractor alleging DSP-satellite 'Fastwalker' tracking and RC-135 UFO diversions. Each claim is graded separately below.

Podesta 'UFO' set: ~110 email IDs (Leaks/podesta_ufo_ids.txt, subjects/context in Leaks/podesta_ufo.json). Triage: ~75% fan mail, interview requests and press roundups (HuffPo/Drudge/Kimmel coverage of his Feb 2015 'biggest failure' tweet). Nine read in full.
Atomic claims (each graded on its own; the email is the source)
| # | Claim | Source (Podesta emailid) | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | In Nov 2008 (Obama transition), CAP staff flagged 'UFO questions coming up from drudge', citing Podesta's 2002 CNN call to open Pentagon UFO records | 27480, 46961 | |
| 2 | Podesta's reply to that thread: 'The American people can handle the truth.' | 26007 | |
| 3 | A radio program reported Podesta saying the CIA had 'frozen' out the Clinton administration on UFO reports | 35351 (Jim Davidson's paraphrase of a broadcast) | secondhand paraphrase |
| 4 | Podesta replied 'More to come.' | 2505 | |

| 6 | Kean, via campaign aide Milia Fisher (Oct 2015), told Podesta she sits on the board of a new 501(c)(3) setting up UFO data stations (UFODATA) | 21109 | email board role not rechecked |

| 9 | Same sender: a senior USAF ELINT NCO said he worked for Blue Book in the 1970s, after its official closure, and RC-135s from MacDill were diverted from Cuba missions to track UFOs off Florida | 31721 | email sent secondhand if true, a post-1969 Blue Book function |
| 10 | Same email cites Dan Sherman's 'Project Preserve Destiny' via exopolitics.org; the sender says he can't vouch for it | 31721 | sender's own caveat |
Reading {{concept}}
- Claims 1–2 place Podesta's disclosure stance inside the 2008 transition, earlier than the 2015–16 DeLonge thread.
- Claims 8–9 are the only operational allegations; both are secondhand and uncorroborated. The DSP 'Fastwalker' term does exist in UFO literature. Its documentary basis was not checked here.
