For the first time in 50 years, a House panel will debate UFOs
Next Tuesday, a House select committee will hold an open congressional hearing on UFOs for the first time in more than 50 years.
To be held in front of the House Intelligence Committee’s subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence and Counterproliferation on May 17 at 10 a.m. ET, the public hearing will be held. Next, a private, secret hearing will be held on the Pentagon’s Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group (AOIMS).
In addition to Mr. Bray, Mr. Moultrie is the Under Secretary for Intelligence and Security of the Department of Defense (DoD).
The chairman of the subcommittee holding the hearing, Indiana Democratic Rep. André Carson, stated, “The American people expect and deserve their leaders in government and intelligence to seriously evaluate and respond to any potential national security risks — especially those we do not fully understand,”
Chairman Adam Schiff, a Democrat from California, said that the hearing would “give the public an opportunity to hear directly from subject matter experts and leaders in the Intelligence Community on one of the greatest mysteries of our time, and to break the cycle of excessive secrecy and speculation with truth and transparency.”
Luis Elizondo, a former Pentagon official who came forward to express his dissatisfaction with the lack of attention paid to the aerial intrusions, says the scheduled hearing is a “deliberate attempt by lawmakers” to ensure that “the American people have access to information that their tax dollars paid for.”
144 reports of “unidentified aerial phenomena” have been issued by the US intelligence community since 2004, and this is particularly fascinating because they could only explain one of them. A Pentagon programme was launched last year.
Representative Adam Schiff, chair of the House Intelligence Committee, announced the public hearing by saying, “There’s still much to learn about unidentified aerial phenomena and the potential risks they may pose to our national security,” Although, the American people deserve full disclosure, and the federal government and the Intelligence Community have a crucial role to play in contextualising and analysing UAP findings.”
