Let the hedging begin! Trump may have said hell 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:

President Trump announced a review of government UFO and UAP files this week, but according to investigative journalist Ross Coulthart the announcement has a significant gap that is not being talked about enough.

Private aerospace contractors including Lockheed, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, and Raytheon are under no legal obligation to release anything.
As Coulthart stated directly, these companies "have access to non-human technology" and "are not compelled under any expression of intention by President Trump to release any information."

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.
