UFOs are real, experts say

Stunning testimony from expert witnesses that UFOs exist was heard on Capitol Hill during a public hearing of the Congressional Oversight and Accountability Committee.

Dr. Tim Gallaudet, a retired U.S. Navy rear admiral, was the first of four witnesses to make extraordinary statements Wednesday during the hearing called Unidentified abnormal phenomena (UAP): revealing the truth.

The admiral said information provided by whistleblowers on UAPs (formerly known as UFOs) indicated that their technology represented a “new awareness that we are not the only advanced intelligence in the world.” ‘universe”.

“As the former head of a scientific agency, I have always sought the truth in human knowledge and thought. Now that we know that UAPs interact with humanity, and that these include submerged objects (OSU) in the ocean, we should not stay with our heads stuck in the sand, but let us boldly face this new reality and learn from it.

What was the USS Theodore Roosevelt incident?

“Confirmation that UAPs interact with humanity came to me in January 2015, when I was commander of the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command,” the admiral said.

“At the time, my staff was participating in a pre-deployment naval exercise off the east coast of the United States, which included the USS Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group. This exercise was supervised by Naval Forces Command of the United States, led by a four-star admiral who also served as my commanding officer.

“During this exercise, I received an email over the Navy’s secure network from the Fleet Forces Command Operations Officer. The email was addressed to all commanders subordinates, and the subject line was written in capital letters: URGENT FLIGHT SAFETY PROBLEM.”

“The text of the email was brief but alarming, with words like: ‘If any of you know what this is, please tell me ASAP.’ to multiple near-air collisions, and if we don’t resolve the problem quickly, we will have to abort the exercise.

“Attached to the email was what is now known as the “Go Fast” video, captured by the advanced infrared sensor aboard one of the participating Navy F/A-18 aircraft to the exercise. The now declassified video showed an unidentified object with flight and structural characteristics unlike anything in our arsenal.

Luis Elizondo, an author and former Defense Department official, was the second witness to make a statement before the committee.

“Let’s be clear: UAPs are real. Advanced technologies not designed by our government, or any other government, monitor sensitive military installations around the world,” Elizondo said.

“Moreover, the United States is in possession of UAP technologies, as are some of our adversaries. I believe we are in the midst of a decades-long secret arms race – one financed by US money. poorly allocated taxpayers and hidden from our elected representatives and our oversight body.

People should be encouraged to provide information about UAPs, said Michael Gold, the third witness, a former NASA Associate Administrator for Space Policy and Partnerships; member of the NASA UAP Independent Study Team.

“Instead of vilifying or ridiculing those who dare to study the phenomenon, NASA and the scientific community at large should seize this unique opportunity to engage the public in a high-profile demonstration of the scientific method,” Gold said.

“Information must be gathered, results studied, hypotheses formulated, and conclusions tested.”

Is there a UAP crash recovery program?

Michael Shellenberger, an investigative journalist, presented to the Committee – before the hearing – a 12-page document that detailed a classified UAP recovery program known as Immaculate Constellation, which had been given to him by a whistleblower who he claimed was a current or former U.S. government official. .

“The executive branch has been handling the UAP issues for some time, even decades, without Congress’ knowledge, oversight or authorization,” Shellenberger said when asked, but declined to disclose the details. source of its information.

“While UAPs remain mysterious, it is clear that the U.S. government is not being honest with the American people. This is all the more alarming after a series of unknown object incursions around sensitive military assets, including nuclear missile silos in recent years.”

“Beyond seemingly advanced technology, the objects seemed to show impunity by flying with bright flashing lights and flying in formation.”

President-elect Donald Trump and former president Barack Obama said the government had information on UAPs that it had not released, Shellenberger said.

“In 2020, during a podcast with his son, Donald Trump, Jr., Trump said, ‘I won’t tell you what I know, but it’s very interesting.’

“In 2021, the former CIA Director John Brennan said: “I think some of the phenomena we’re seeing remains unexplained and could be some type of phenomenon that results from something we don’t yet understand and could involve some type of activity that some believe , constitutes a different form of life,” Shellenberger said.
