The US Congress is scheduled to hold a hearing on Wednesday to discuss the topic of UFOs. Some lawmakers are hoping that new information will emerge on the subject, which has been the focus of many conspiracy theorists and has recently received serious attention from government officials.
The House Oversight Committee hearing is titled “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon: Revealing the Truth.” The title references UAP, the new preferred acronym for UFO. UFO has become an increasingly popular term among believers and U.S. officials to describe mysterious aerial objects.
The hearing was the second Congressional hearing organized by the U.S. Congress to “further shed light on the U.S. government’s secret UAP research program and its unpublished findings,” according to a statement from the House of Representatives. It will be a meeting.
The hearing will be led by Republican Reps. Nancy Mace and Glenn Grossman. In a statement to the House of Representatives, the representatives claim that Americans are frustrated by the US government’s lack of transparency regarding UAPs.
“Americans have a right to understand what the government has learned about UAP sightings and the nature of the potential threat these phenomena pose. Only by providing consistent and systematic transparency can that understanding be achieved. We look forward to hearing from expert witnesses on how to shed further light on this issue and bring greater accountability,” Mace and Grossman said in a statement. .
Luis Elizondo, a decorated former counterintelligence official who has long argued that the U.S. government concealed its knowledge of UAPs, will be an expert witness at the hearing.
Wednesday’s hearing came more than a year after the Pentagon was accused by whistleblower David Grusch of running a secret UFO recovery program, but the Pentagon has not been able to address those claims. No supporting evidence has yet emerged.
Many proponents of secret UAP disclosure are optimistic that President Donald Trump’s administration will choose to release more government documents.
Tennessee Republican Congressman Tim Burchett told The Hill: President Trump will move toward full disclosure. ”
