Can you elaborate? First time I've seen this name.

David A. Kozik is a/ the (unsure which) Director Congressional Activities, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense Intelligence.
NewsNation (home of Ross Coulthart) journalist Rob Jones claims Kozik acts as a gatekeeper of UAP- related material, and had a role in denying some politicians (including Eric Burlison) access to a site supposedly linked to UFOs:

15 May 2026, Rosemarie Zamora (any relation?
) https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/pentagon-ufo-gatekeeper-washington-debate-1796969It might be unlikely Burlison and Kozik are associates / confederates, though Kozik probably knows of Burlison, Burlison might know Kozik.
I suspect Kozik is getting attention and criticism from UFO enthusiasts just because of his job, which appears to involve some supervisory/ advisory responsibilities for AARO. He will have other responsibilities under the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense Intelligence, and part of that might include decisions on requests for access to some sensitive sites.
Being an elected politician in many democracies does not confer an automatic right to visit every defence/ intelligence site that they might be interested in.
There is documentary evidence Kozik works as part of a hierarchical chain, as we might expect. He is unlikely to be a sole "gatekeeper" of UAP- related information.
"FOIA Emails Reveal Pentagon's Tight Control Over AARO "Historical Record Report" Rollout and Messaging", The Black Vault website, 27 August 2025, John Greenewald https://www.theblackvault.com/docum...storical-record-report-rollout-and-messaging/External Quote:The records also capture friction between Congress and the Pentagon over AARO's responsibilities. During a Senate briefing on drone incursions, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand pressed officials on why the Department lacked a central database for unmanned aerial system (UAS) incursions, arguing that AARO should serve that function.
Internal Pentagon correspondence shows immediate pushback. "We do not want to see sUAS added to AARO's portfolio!" Pentagon spokesperson Gough wrote in an email to David A. Kozik, Director Congressional Activities, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense Intelligence. Kozik repliesd that AARO should serve in a coordinating capacity on counter-UAS issues, but not as the lead office. The discussions underscored a disconnect between congressional expectations and the Department's vision for AARO's scope.
A bit off-topic, but re. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand's proposal, there might be very good reasons why AARO, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, should not have the lead on investigating UAS (uncrewed aerial systems- drones etc..) Drones are known technology, they are not anomalous.
They might be the cause of some reported UAP, but so are airliners. AARO shouldn't take over the FAA's remit.
Various branches of the United States military have decades of experience operating UAS, and developing / using counter-UAS systems. Millions, probably billions of dollars have gone into this. AARO is essentially a modest office-based effort for investigating unusual reports.
Much better-resourced organisations (e.g. NORAD) are responsible for the air defence of the USA and enforcement of air policing.
Making AARO the lead organisation for investigating UAS (possibly including those of less friendly states) doesn't really make much sense in defense/ security terms.

Federal Aviation Administration website
Drones are under the FAA. And I would bet they have far more people just on the administration of drone pilots licenses than the entire staff of AARO. The FAA does aircraft pilots licenses and drone pilots licenses fit right into that mission, keeping the skies safe from bad pilots.
OF course people trying to kill AARO might try to push things, either shoving AARO into the FAA where it would get swamped or saying if it can't do drones what good is it so disband it.
I don't know what Kozik's job description is but having a single point of contact (POC) for requests from Congress for access to places and info makes a lot of sense. Too many people in Congress have contacts with military people who they might try to leverage for permissions unless there was a designated POC who every request must go through. Although everyone should understand it would not just be him personally as he would have a staff working for him to do the paperwork, ask questions and so forth. Despite what people seem to think there are always staff people involved.
So many times, like with the "missing scientists", people seem to think that high level people work totally alone, with nobody else within their organization knowing a single thing about what they were doing. That is pretty much never the case, there are always people in-the-know around them who are aware of what's going on.

Looking back at this list it seems like it matches with PR050 to PR099 in order (PR060 to PR063 being one line "11. Spherical UAP Warlock 4X, 4/12/21 (Video 0,1,2)")

I think that the "AARO typos" might actually just be what the uploaded title of the videos were listed as on the classified network, errors included. The disclaimer states as much for each.
However, they corrected the misspelled "spherical" while leaving the other apparent errors intact during the upload for tranche 3. That change suggests that the others, though incorrect, are derived from the source material itself.
