Witnesses testify to US lawmakers about 'unidentified... phenomenon' amid calls for openness.
The House of Representatives convened a landmark panel on unidentified anomalous phenomenon , known more colloquially as UFOs, on Wednesday, in the most serious acknowledgement yet that mysterious sightings deserve scrutiny at the highest levels of government.
Retired US Navy commander David Fravor once again recounted his encounter with a "tic-tac" shaped UAP in 2004 that moved in a way that baffled aviators, footage of which was released in 2017 and publicly verified by the US Navy two years later. Witnesses also called for an official reporting process for military personnel or members of the public to report unexplained sightings
He asked whether any of the UAPs could actually be craft created by military contractors, or belong to secret agency programmes that other government entities had hidden. Investigating UFOs, now known to many as UAPs, has become a rare bipartisan issue in Congress. Lawmakers of both parties have called for investigations and military transparency. In 2022, the House Intelligence Committee held a hearing about the secretive Pentagon programme. Nasa held a public hearingBoth former presidents Barack Obama, a Democrat, and Donald Trump, a Republican, have addressed the issue in public interviews.
