UAP Media Accountability
Mellon publishes a detailed challenge to the Journal's UAP reporting
The Disclosure Foundation asks for corrections and an award reversal, but the newly public letter remains one side of a disputed record.

Published Advocacy Letter · Claims Disputed
The Disclosure Foundation published a letter from chairman Christopher Mellon challenging The Wall Street Journal's June 2025 UAP coverage and asking the National Press Club to rescind an award given to the reporters. The public post is dated September 17, while the reproduced correction request itself was originally sent June 26, 2025.
Mellon disputes the treatment of statements attributed to Eric Davis, the relationship between an Art Bell material sample and other alleged materials, the account of the 1967 Malmstrom missile incident, and the omission of comments from AARO's then-director. The page provides the three-page letter but no response from the Journal or the National Press Club. Publishing specific objections makes them testable; it does not independently establish that the coverage was wrong or validate the extraordinary claims involved.
