A hearing on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), the term now officially used to designate unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, was held in the United States on Wednesday. Claims have been made about flying orbs coming out of the ocean, strange lights in the sky, disc-like objects, mysterious spaceships never before seen on Earth, and much more.

The U.S. House Oversight and Accountability Committee held a hearing titled “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Revealing the Truth” in Washington, DC.

Four experts testified on the issue, some of them saying the U.S. government has been hiding evidence of extraterrestrial visitors and otherworldly objects for years. A former Defense Department official told the committee that the U.S. government ran a secret UFO recovery program.

Another claim was that UFOs had injured government employees on several occasions. However, none of the claims were backed by evidence.

Wednesday’s hearing included the participation of former top officials who were allegedly privy to several secrets. A former U.S. counterintelligence officer, a retired U.S. Navy rear admiral and a former NASA associate administrator addressed the committee.

They called on the government to stop stigmatizing the subject of UFOs and to be transparent about UAP data which they say should be taken out of the classified “black” world and made public.

Claims have been made that the US government has evidence of the presence of extraterrestrials in the form of “photos, videos, photos and other information”.

Meanwhile, Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert said she had heard theories that aliens had built a secret underwater “base” on Earth. “Are there any accounts of UAP emerging or submerging our waters that could indicate a base or presence between the ocean surface,” Boebert asked.

She pressed further by asking: “Are there any technological capabilities observed in these ocean UAPs that challenge our current understanding of physics or human engineering capabilities? »

She didn’t get any questions answered but vowed to bring the truth to the American people.

UFOs have been a recurring topic of discussion for years. The Pentagon created the All-Doman Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in 2022 to investigate UAP reports and any data the government may have on UFOs. However, critics have raised doubts about the office’s intentions and methods.

“AARO is unable, or perhaps unwilling, to reveal the truth about the government’s activities regarding UAPs,” Rep. Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina) said during the hearing.

She criticized AARO for its lack of transparency and for hiding its budget. “If there’s no ‘there,’ then why are we spending money on it? And how much? Why the secrecy?”

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) said there is evidence that we are detecting things we don’t understand that is worth investigating.

Luis Elizondo, a former U.S. counterintelligence officer, told the hearing that “excessive secrecy has led to serious wrongdoing against loyal officials, military personnel and the public — all to hide the fact that we do not We are not alone in the cosmos.

The previous hearing on the matter, in 2023, also saw similar allegations circulating. The most surprising revelation was made by retired Major David Grusch, who claimed that the US government had recovered non-human “bodies” from the crash site. He claimed he had set up a secret reverse engineering program to study advanced alien ships.
