Unidentified Flying Objects, Aerial Phenomena, and Business Confidentialities - Bryce Zabel and Ross Coulthart
In the realm of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), a hypothetical scenario involving Lockheed Martin concealing ownership of such technology from shareholders could lead to severe legal action, financial penalties, and reputational harm.
Recently, veteran investigative journalist Ross Coulthart interviewed Professor Garry Nolan of Stanford University for 7NEWS Spotlight, discussing the implications of UAPs. This conversation, along with other discussions, has shed light on the potential consequences corporations might face in this regard.
If Lockheed Martin were found to possess UFO or UAP technology and failed to disclose it to shareholders, the company could face significant legal and financial repercussions primarily under U.S. securities laws. These potential consequences include securities fraud or insider trading claims for misleading or withholding material information from investors, as public companies are legally obligated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to disclose material facts that could affect the value of their stock. Failure to do so may result in enforcement actions, fines, and civil liability.
Additionally, investor lawsuits alleging breach of fiduciary duty might ensue, as shareholders rely on full and truthful disclosure to make informed decisions. Concealing possession of such technology, which could be a material asset, might lead to class-action lawsuits and costly settlements.
Regulatory penalties and enforcement by the SEC or Department of Justice for failure to disclose or for making false statements could also be a possibility, potentially including criminal investigations if intentional deception is found.
Moreover, market reaction and loss of investor confidence could occur, potentially causing stock price declines, increased cost of capital, and reputational damage.
Given the strategic, national security implications of such technology, there may be governmental controls and security clearance issues affecting disclosure. However, these do not negate the legal duty to shareholders once the information is material to investment decisions.
The hosts of the conversation, Bryce Zabel and Ross Coulthart, underscored the importance of material disclosure for corporations, highlighting the legal and financial consequences for corporations that fail to inform shareholders of such significant holdings.
This discussion, along with the anticipated Congressional actions and publications from influential figures such as Lue Elizondo and David Grusch, infuses the conversation with a sense of wonder and anticipation for scientific breakthroughs. The mention of significant discoveries by the James Webb Space Telescope, such as the detection of molecules associated with life on distant planets, adds to this anticipation.
The technology's potential value, if it exists, could be in the trillions, considering the potential global impact and paradigm shift such technology could introduce. The technology's potential value could redefine Lockheed Martin's market capitalization, potentially leading to an astronomical increase.
In summary, a corporation like Lockheed Martin concealing ownership of UFO/UAP technology from shareholders risks severe legal action, financial penalties, and reputational harm under securities law and corporate governance principles. The hosts, Bryce Zabel and Ross Coulthart, reflect on the significant events of 2023, particularly the revelations by David Grusch, which have elevated the discourse on UAPs, increasing public awareness and stimulating global conversation.
