UFO Hearing by Congress
The House Oversight and Reform Committee held a hearing on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), also known as UFOs, on July 26, 2022.
The UFO hearing was the first time in over 50 years that Congress had held a public hearing on the topic.
Three witnesses testified at the hearing:
- Luis Elizondo, former director of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP)
- Ronald Moultrie, current director of AATIP
- Scott Bray, deputy director of Naval Intelligence
The witnesses provided firsthand accounts of UAP sightings by military pilots and other government officials. They also discussed the challenges of studying UAPs, given the lack of data and the secrecy surrounding the issue.
The witnesses did not provide any definitive answers about the nature of UAPs. However, they did express concern about the potential threat that UAPs could pose to national security. They also called for more transparency from the government about its efforts to study UAPs.
The UFO hearing was met with mixed reactions. Some people were skeptical about the witnesses’ testimony, while others were more open to the possibility that UAPs could be extraterrestrial in origin. However, the hearing did mark a significant step forward in the public’s understanding of UAPs.
Here are some of the key takeaways from the UFO hearing:
- The government has been tracking UAPs for decades, but there is still a lack of understanding about their nature.
- UAPs have been seen behaving in ways that defy known physics.
- The government is concerned about the potential threat that UAPs could pose to national security.
- The government needs to be more transparent about its efforts to study UAPs.
The hearing is likely to lead to more research into UAPs and increased public awareness of the issue. It is also possible that the hearing will prompt the government to take steps to mitigate any potential threats posed by UAPs.
