Next week, an open House subcommittee will hold its first public hearing on UFOs in the United States in over 50 years, possibly outlining some of the military encounters with unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) and assessing the risk they pose to national security, and you can watch it all unfold live. Much of the hearing, which begins on Tuesday, May 17 at 10 a.m. EST, will be livestreamed on YouTube for your watching enjoyment. The subcommittee will have a confidential and classified briefing after the open section of the meeting.
According to Politico, the session will be chaired by Congressman André Carson (D-Ind.) and will feature testimony from two senior defense intelligence officials: Ronald Moultrie, the Pentagon’s top intelligence official, and Scott Bray, the deputy director of naval intelligence. There aren’t many additional specifics about the next hearing yet, although the open section is slated to run roughly two and a half hours. “Unidentified aerial phenomena have a lot to teach us.” But one thing is certain: the American people deserve complete transparency,” House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) tweeted.
“Next week, @HouseIntel will give the public the opportunity to hear from experts on one of history’s biggest mysteries.” The hearing comes after Congress ordered a historic study on UAPs, which was released in June 2021. Overall, the study was inconclusive, but it did suggest that certain US authorities were beginning to take a more open attitude to the once-controversial subject of UAP sightings.
The public isn’t anticipating much more from the future hearing, either. The hearing, according to UAP Media, will not deliver the “full disclosure” that many are looking for, with much of the juicy information being saved for the confidential briefing. Nonetheless, the hearing’s open and transparent approach has been universally praised. Who knows, maybe a few important tidbits of knowledge may fall through the gaps as well.
“While this statement is a significant step forward, we do not foresee any major surprises at this time.” In a statement, Dave Partridge, editor of Shadows of Your Mind magazine and a member of UAP Media UK, stated, “We hope it spurs other national governments – such as the UK and Australia under their AUKUS information sharing cooperation – to follow suit and initiate open talks of their own.” “Those working behind the scenes on the UAP proposal have worked for more than four years to deliver information to the correct individuals in Congress. What we’re witnessing today with Congressional Hearings is another step toward public acceptability,” said Adam Goldsack, one of UAP Media UK’s founders.
