I feel like they’re going to release some very ancient, very unsatisfying reports and a few fuzzy videos and claim that’s all they ever had. I hope not, but I’m skeptical this is as revelatory as it seems.
They used the word disclosure 79 times in this document. It being proposed by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is significant, he’s already said “I am honored to carry on the legacy of my mentor and dear friend Harry Reid and fight for the transparency that the public has long demanded surrounding these unexplained phenomena.”
I think this is the big one, especially when there’s language like this in the amendment
All Federal Government records concerning unidentified anomalous phenomena should carry a presumption of immediate disclosure and all records should be eventually disclosed to enable the public to become fully informed about the history of the Federal Government’s knowledge and involvement surrounding unidentified anomalous phenomena.
(4) Legislation is necessary because credible evidence and testimony indicates that Federal Government unidentified anomalous phenomena records exist that have not been declassified or subject to mandatory declassification review as set forth in Executive Order 13526 (50 U.S.C. 3161 note; relating to classified national security information) due in part to exemptions under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq.), as well as an over-broad interpretation of “transclassified foreign nuclear information”, which is also exempt from mandatory declassification, thereby preventing public disclosure under existing provisions of law.

I think everything will be a drip. The fact that there is tightly controlled language on disclosure in a real bill being discussed should not be understated.
It might just go as you claim, however it will be far from over. Keep in mind, this renewed interest from Congress has been spurred by the fact that they have been deceived for a very long time. If Congress don’t get anything substantial from this, I can’t see them being ok with it. They might deem it too damn scary to be made fully public in which case we will only see the ancient grainy things.
Either this is a planned or unplanned disclosure, but regardless it really seems like it’s happening!
It will be definitely be a controlled disclosure, I think Grusch’s testimony really changed things.
