Further Secret UN Meetings on UFOs/Extraterrestrial Life are occuring according to credible military whistleblower by Michael E. Salla, Ph.D  
The testimony of a second primary source, Gilles Lorant of France, concerning follow up meetings on February 13 & 14 became mired in controversy after it emerged that there were discrepancies in his stated credentials. This led to accusations of fraud and forced his resignation from a prominent French UFO organization (see: http://exopolitics.org/Exo-Comment-69.htm ). Despite the credentials controversy, Lorant's testimony was specific enough to allow investigators to pursue opportunities to confirm his testimony. In particular, Lorant claimed that the UK's Permanent Representative to the UN, Sir John Sawers, and the Papal Nuncio to the UN, Archbishop Celestino Migliore attended meetings where UFO sightings were discussed. Significantly, Lorant claims that the 30 countries represented at the meetings agreed that an international policy of “openness” would be implemented towards reports of UFOs and extraterrestrial life. There has been circumstantial support for Lorant's testimony insofar as an official British governmental response to a Freedom of Information request confirmed that Sir John Sawers had participated in confidential bilateral meetings at the UN during February 13-14 (http://tinyurl.com/4estyo) . Also, a recent interview of the Vatican's chief astronomer, Gabriel Funes, on the possibility of extraterrestrial life signaled an official change in Vatican policy on extraterrestrial life (see: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7399661.stm ). This lends further circumstantial support to Lorant's testimony that the February 13 & 14 discussions on UFOs/extraterrestrial life had resulted in a consensus over a new policy of 'openness' towards extraterrestrial life, and that the Vatican had participated.
A content analysis of the update released by Morningstar & the Pickerings shows several areas where Source A's testimony raises questions over inconsistencies with earlier revelations by him, with Gilles Lorant’s testimony, and objective analysis of the decades old secrecy policy. First, Source A reveals that the meeting on May 19 was focused on the lack of media objectivity concerning reports of UFOs and extraterrestrial life. According to Morningstar and the Pickerings: “This theme of this particular meeting was centered on the media's ridiculing of the UFO/ET phenomenon and the impediment that this presents as an obstacle to moving disclosure forward.” The “ridicule factor” would be a strange choice of official discussions since it appears to shift the onus of responsibility for a UFO cover-up to a mass media disposed to ridicule. This position ignores the public policy origins of the ridicule factor in the mass media. For example, in 1953 the CIA sponsored the Robertson Panel which issued recommendations to ridicule UFO reports as a matter of public policy. http://www.ufocasebook.com/robertsonpanel.html So the lack of media coverage of reports of UFOs/extraterrestrial life is not due to the prejudices of reporters disposing them to ridicule, but the legacy of an official public policy orchestrated by the CIA and other intelligence agencies since the 1950s.
Investigations into media silence by researchers such as Terry Hansen confirms that the problem lies in those in control of the media where UFO investigations are stifled by senior executives and media owners (http://tinyurl.com/6h8hxk ). So in reality the media problem is not so much ridicule due to the prejudices of the mass media, but a result of a policy secretly facilitated by media elites where ridicule is used as a means of suppressing UFO investigations. Consequently, it may be asked why a secret UN meeting on May 19 would devote itself to discussing media prejudices that lead to ridicule of UFO reports, without pointing out the public policy in place that established the ridicule factor in the first place. A meeting of public policy and military professionals at the UN would surely address the underlying information processes at work, a systematic public policy program of deception, rather than an epiphenomenon such as media prejudices of UFO reports. This does bring into question Source A’s reliability in revealing the real topics discussed during the May 19 meeting.
Second, when asked who attended the meetings, the response by Source A was "all the usual suspects." Further questions resulted in short responses confirming that China and Russia were represented among the 30 participants, but curiously not the Vatican. This is strange given Source A's initial releases pointed to the problem religion would play in upcoming disclosures of extraterrestrial life. Why would confidential discussions continue at the UN concerning UFOs and the media, without the sole UN member state that specializes in religious affairs, the Vatican? Furthermore, there is a discrepancy with Lorant's testimony wherein he claimed that the Vatican was represented at the February 13 & 14 meetings by Archbishop Migliore. Furthermore, the recent policy change by the Vatican on extraterrestrial life adds circumstantial support for the Vatican's participation in any subsequent secret UN meetings as alleged by Source A.
