“The purpose of this hearing is to 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,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
A highly anticipated report containing everything the U.S. government knows about UFOs — or as the Pentagon refers to the mysterious aerial sightings, "UAP" — was unclassified and released to the public Friday. The report was released on the website of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. NewsNOW's Andrew Craft spoke with UFO expert Nick Pope on the unclassified report that looked at 144 sightings of aerial phenomena from 2004 to 2021.
The House Intelligence Committee’s subcommittee over counterterrorism, counterintelligence and counterproliferation will hold the hearing on May 17, according to a tweet from the subcommittee’s chairman, Rep. André Carson, D-Ind. which reviewed 144 sightings of aircraft or other devices that appeared to be flying at mysterious speeds or odd trajectories.
The June 2021 report drew few conclusions and instead highlighted the need for better data collection about what’s increasingly seen by Democrats and Republicans as a national security concern. In all but one of the sightings investigated, there was too little information for investigators to even broadly characterize the nature of the incident.
