able to release as much of that content as we can to the public so that we can get help in resolving them. Yes. STAFF: Mosheh? Q: Thanks for doing this. Mosheh Gaines with NBC. You said earlier that there wasn't evidence that the UAP activity was linked to foreign adversaries. But I'm wondering, have you seen any kind of suggestion that foreign adversaries have been trying to capitalize off of this with disinformation or anything else? DR. KOSLOSKI: We have not. But I am concerned that somebody could use the potential stigma to and take advantage of that. If there is a stigma associated with reporting UAP, then that's an opportunity for the adversary to maybe conduct collection operations and not have folks report on it. But we haven't seen evidence of that yet. STAFF: We've got time for one more question. Anybody have one? (inaudible) Q: So can you speak to any historic incidents like the Phoenix Lights incident in the 1990s, which many who claimed to have been a witness to the event feel the government has never taken seriously? DR. KOSLOSKI: So, we take those incidents very seriously. And we're going to be releasing some analysis in the upcoming Volume II Historical Report in the next few months, where we were able to resolve a number of historic cases. There are quite a few cases of public interest where we have resource limitations, either we can't get enough technical data from -- back. In the case of the Phoenix, there's lots of video. And we can -- we're still working on that. I was actually having a conversation with somebody earlier this morning about additional data we can get for the Phoenix case. But in a lot of the historic cases, we're going looking for film. And the film has been recycled or destroyed because it's too expensive to retain. And so we're going to museums. And all of that takes a lot of manpower. At the same time, we're trying to resolve these other interesting cases that are coming in continuously, these 1,600 cases that we have. So we're trying to balance those. But the historical report that's coming out will have some of those that you had asked about. STAFF: All right, folks. Thank you very much. DR. KOSLOSKI: Thank you very much. Q: Thank you.
