It was February 2023.
The month began with a Chinese surveillance balloon that both startled and puzzled politicians and civilians alike.
It was symbolic - the Chinese had broken into America's own backyard.
A position similar to that of the Director of National Intelligence could be a game-changer.
The role would involve someone with oversight and access to all the information and UAP programs, ensuring there is communication and coordination. That person would sit at the cabinet level, serving the President directly and ensure the Commander-in-Chief has a firm grasp on the situation.
That also includes having complete access to Space Command, the National Reconnaissance Office, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the Space Force, and all underseas tracking monitoring systems.
Even if UAPs cannot be countered by force, their origin and operators should be known when they appear over military ranges.
Yes yes yes. This absolutely needs to happen.
Also change the AARO into a better acronym while they’re at it.

I feel you here, however, it’s still infinitely better than AOIMSG :).
Let’s skip all the interim nonsense and just call it Starfleet already.
