Let the hedging begin! Trump may have said he'll direct government agencies to release UFO files, but what about all those dastardly defense contractors that really have the UFOs? Some Facebook UFO blogger quoted our old friend RC about how disclosure doesn't really mean disclosure:
Regardless of what the government ends up releasing, or more accurately, not releasing, RC and the rest of the UFO-media posse can keep the ball rolling speculating and fantasizing about what Lockheed is hiding.
My bad! I knew what I meant and I think most people figured it out.

So now Lockheed is hiding UFOs from the government? How would they even acquire them, without leaving a mile wide trail in the government bureaucracy?
When the government gives a company TS/SCI level material it requires the company to already have a SCIF to store or work on it in. A facility is only a SCIF if it has been accredited as such by the government (lots of mandatory requirements). SCIF's have to be periodically inspected and re-certified, again by the government. So the location of any facility where such material is located is known about by the government. If the company wants to shut down a SCIF they have to again work with the accrediting office, who will make sure all classified material in it is destroyed or returned to the government. SCIF's don't just get lost.
So any TS/SCI level material Lockheed was given would have, initially, been moved to a SCIF, whose location was know to the government. So was it later declassified? Lockheed can't just declare it unclassified, the originating government office would have to do that. They would have made a record of that fact, because both the company and the government would want to cover their backsides in case of future questions about what happened to that classified stuff. Disposing of classified material creates paper trails.

The original post detailing the issue also informed the server was up and running again. No files were permanently lost:

i think you should also bold "I'm not sure when exactly this happened."

Done, also included his post from the day before where he informed there was an outage.

awesome! so Feb 20 at 12:30 pm New York time.
new news:
Article: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the Pentagon is "working" on identifying and releasing government files related to UFOs and extraterrestrial life following President Donald Trump's directive.
"We've got our people working on it right now," Hegseth said Monday [Feb 23], when asked by a reporter if he was prepared to potentially declassify such information. "I don't want to oversell how much time it will take, but we're digging in."
...
Trump announced on Feb. 19 [8:13 pm New York time] that he is instructing federal agencies to begin releasing government files.

"Dog whistling" is a reference to coded message that seems unremarkable to the general public but has a specific meaning for a targeted audience. Similar to the expression "Entendedores entenderão".
As some who works with an I.T. team, it would be surprising if this guy didn't crash his website every so often.

I'd already heard that jargon, I'm rather still wondering to whom would it apply on that John's sentence. Whether there's a sort of "threatening act" suspicion implied there or not, I find obvious it can't be completely ruled out by the general public (or at least by those with a.basic level of awareness on these kind of incidents.

Did you want to say "every so seldom?
I'm just asking, you know English is not my mother language.

Greenewald's target audience is a coalition of the suspicious, or as they might see themselves: the "David vs Goliath" people, where Goliath is the US government or a branch of the government. That would include deep state conspiracists, intelligence watchdogs, transparency hardliners, OSINT partisans, the UFO community...His remark was exactly what his community would feed on: fear of Goliath coming for them.

Thanks but I don't need it, since I can realise that your choice of words "sometimes but not often" is not applicable to John's only incident, as reported by himself.

Let me get this straight? What John Greenewald Jr.'s "community" are you talking about? Please would you expand also on your claim about a "coalition of the suspicious"? Because all of this is news to me, AFAIK he's only known as being today one of the most experts on the procedures involving FOIA requests.

1) You did not research your claim very well. For example:

@jdog's use of grammar indicates that he thinks it's likely that Greenewald's website crashes now and again. That was a statement of opinion, not a statement of fact.
As an ESL speaker, I'm in a learning mindset when I examine a native speaker's use of language.

Well then, had that instance not been only the issue with his site -- shutdown during that day, you would have identified contradictions in this John's statement: "It is unclear why, and I've never seen this in the history running web servers for The Black Vault."
Now would you please spare me of your Conditional Sentence explanations? They are completely irrelevant and unnecessary to this discussion. Thank you.

There is no contradiction.
John says he hasn't seen this type of failure before, but @jdog referred to a less specific "crash his website". The older outage was presumably of a different kind than the new outage.
I think nitpicking someone's choice of words in public is "completely irrelevant and unnecessary to this discussion", too, but here we are.
