The following reading is the sixth in a series of geomantic investigations into the speculative presence of extraterrestrial intelligence and technology here on earth.

Why did the Pentagon formally release the UAP footage in 2020?
The Judge and Witnesses all depict Populus, a “stationary” figure (Arabic: ثابت, thābit) ruled by the element of earth. In the context of this query, the Court may be implying that the footage was released to stabilize, ground, or shape the general population in some way (acclimation to a particular possibility?). Fortuna Minor as the Sentence, an “exiting” figure (Arabic: خارج, khārij) ruled by the element of fire, possibly suggests that the U.S. Department of Defense temporarily succeeded in whatever it sought to achieve by the disclosure (to alter the public discourse?), or that the effects of the release will somehow benefit the population in the long term.
The upper half of the shield is an enigma to me at the moment. The parental figures in each of the Four Triplicities produce Acquisitio, possibly suggesting that something was increased by the release of the footage (public awareness or acceptance?). Moreover, the parental figures in the 1st and 4th Triplicities are inversions of each other, while the parents in the 2nd and 3rd Triplicities are mirrored.
