Hearing begins at 10AM ET
Official channel: Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs Hearing https://www.newsnationnow.com/space/ufo/luna-house-oversight-hearing-uaps-uly-26/ The House Oversight Committee has a UAP hearing on July 26th and this time, there will be whistleblowers speaking instead of us listening to another organization repeating the "we ain't found shit" narrative. David Grusch will be testifying as well as 3 other as-yet-unnamed whistleblowers. The rumblings were that things were going to be picking up steam and it's sure as shit happening. Ross Coulthart has stated there is a time crunch for disclosure because of some impending thing. He won't elaborate much and gives the caveat that he's getting it from a few different sources, along with a "skepticism is healthy" reminder. Some people jump to "the mothership is on its way" but a more reasonable possibility is that there's a desire to reveal some sort of beneficial tech OR the folks in congress want to get it done before the elections so a new group doesn't come in and reset the clock. It's definitely intriguing. NOTE TO ACTIVE TOPIC PEOPLE: This is not posted in GD. Know the CoC. ETA: The speakers will be David Grusch, Lt. Ryan Graves, and Cmdr. David Fravor. The hearing will be live on NewsNation starting at 10AM ET. |

Im very skeptical. This whole new push for disclosure paints a pic that the US Gov is suddenly the good guy and "they're one of us!" because they want answers too gosh darnit!
The Gov as a whole is not our friends. There may be a few with good intentions and leading the charge, but soon as they see this stuff and understand its impact on the world, they'll suddenly decide its best stayed classified. If any of that UAP stuff would upset the economy or a major industry, cause big banks or shadow families/dynasties or religions to lose money or power to influence the world?? Feggetaboutit. We'll get snow jobbed and be in the unconfirmed realm again. We'll be sitting around like jimmy carter all bummed out the next day. |

In for the disappointment.
Our Government has lied, covered up, and put out so much disinformation, I doubt I believe anything they say. This is probably another smoke screen. |

If "they" exist and it is revealed that something indeed crashed at Roswell, for example, then what impact will that have on science?
Outside the mainstream theories have always existed, but what branch of science is rooted in conspiracy theory? I guess chemistry before the 1600s would be close. The Church identified experimental chemistry as alchemy in some cases. It would be officially squashed but the foundations of modern chemistry are built upon alchemy. The state has replaced the Church in this case, but it behaves similarly. Most people will shuffle on through their lives without significant change upon disclosure that alien (or at least non-human) intelligent life exists. I am not one of them, though. I have always thought that non-human intelligent life exists (not talking dolphins/birds/wayward pets), but that was a matter of faith in the absence of concrete proof. The switch from faith to reality is a jarring one. |

It will take more than Government to convince me they exist. I am suspicious this is another control mechanism or misdirection.
Until I see for myself, I will not believe. |

For what this is, im highly surprised it hasnt grabbed traction in the MSM.
However I think the majority believes (including MSM) we're not alone and wants UAP and NHI to be real, but nothing matters till hard evidence is exposed and presented. If it does come out you can bet it'll be the biggest thing since the moon landing. |

Will these be public streaing on something like a CSPAN youtube channel or equivalent?
@Cypher214 Thanks for that postscript on your OP. Sad that it is needed at all though. |

There will be a hell of a lot more deniers, that's for damn sure. Half of the GD posts on any UFO/alien topic are "it's a distraction!" or "they're using the alien threat to force the new world order!" It's going to be more like "we have some evidence, we don't know where they're from, there's no indication that they present a threat. Please pretend we never admitted it, stop asking about it, and resume paying taxes". The scale of the public's reaction will be 100% dependent on how the MSM handles it and they will just follow whatever the democrats tell them to do. |

Perhaps some edge of this disclosure will leak so the general public can tap into that power by duplicating it if they're paying attention, rather than wedging people into more fractured factions thinking all the others are silly and wasting their time mocking each other instead of finding common ground. |

I was hoping for others similar to Grusch with a bit more inside knowledge. View Quote The witnesses will be underwhelming to us, but it is important to get them on record. They have been out front on this with all the attendant risks. This is a choreographed slow disclosure. Some of us here know that. We are seeing witnesses who are 2-3 steps back on the upcoming disclosure path. Lawmakers are catching up to the steep learning curve, so expect the hearings to continue to be led by the Senate. They've followed their pre-determined plan. We are currently around step #3. Plan seems to be: 1. Pass legislation with whistleblower protections 2. Document and quietly publicize testimony and claims to nudge the narrative in the direction they want. 3. Pass legislation requiring disclosure from Aerospace & .gov with grace period. 4. Pass legislation claiming .gov eminent domain for ownership of materials of unknown origin regardless of possession. 5. Pass legislation absolving all involved of crimes related to UAP programs and off budget spending, should they come forward to congress. 6. Publicly announce the reality of UAP's and non-human visitors/technology. 7. Announce a normalized classification system of the programs with congressional oversight. All whistleblowing protections end as programs are now officially sanctioned. Any leaks will be aggressively prosecuted. Lid is clamped shut. 8. Research with a wider group of select participants finally begins. Useful tech begins to dribble out in rumors but is all classified. 9. Dotcom's and other well connected financial players previously shut out are finally allowed to play in the sandbox. Access to materials, technology and resulting patents become the next billionaire boys club activity, all controlled by .gov. Power brokers will always fulfill their role. What I hope doesn't get lost is the sense of wonder in all of this. What a time to be alive!! |

They hide it (poorly) with layers of obfuscation, but it is clear to see. That's why opening news segments all use the exact same wording on issues they care about. |

I read somewhere else that one of witnesses who was scheduled to testify has now backed out after the DoD contacted them. Supposedly NASA also backed out, although my guess is that their testimony was more of the “we have no evidence of UAP’s”.

Anyone know if the witnesses will be under oath?

So are these hearings going to have testimony from credible direct hands on eye witnesses or will this be more of the same; sketchy he-said-she-said 2nd/3rd hand accounts of what my brothers cousins sisters roommate heard?
Ive heard fravors going to be there. I consider him highly credible but whats he going to say that he hasnt already said? |

View Quote Repeats might be to re-tell, under oath, what they saw to a congressional panel with a more public result. Rather than testifying and saying "this is classifieed so nobody is ever going to hear it, it's a "be clear but remember to avoid project xxx" (or some other secret) in your description" to make sure non-intended stuff isn't part of the testimony. Just a wild guess but to security group of congress vs to congress for release might have different content for several of them. |

What they didn't say is that the commanding officer was more than willing to brief Gaetz on that information, because Gaetz is a member of an oversight committee that gives him that access, while Burchett and the other representative are not. You can agree or disagree with the selective access based on oversight committee membership, but Burchett and the other rep intentionally misled people into thinking that General was hiding that information from Congress when he was likely just following established procedures. |

In this case I believe the civilian government is throwing it's weight around not because they give an absolute one fuck about aliens or not but to liberate potential technologies and assign them to collaborators for further research. Disruptions is where new money is to be found when old money has control of the old paradigm. I'm not saying the whole world won't benefit from zero point tech or antigravity/time travel but let's be clear eyed and realize that our congress wants this out so they can choose some winners and ride the new paradigm shift all the way to the new world. This is their chance to be the railroad barrons of tomorrow in a world that is heavy on horses. |

There are a number of hypotheses on why disclosure is moving forward. Off the top of my head, from mundane to out there.
1. Modern sensors in military have come so far that hiding it from military personnel has become impossible. 2. Civilian access to drones, night vision, thermal, phone cameras, etc, have made it hard to hide and it will only get worse. 3. The green tech for energy and transportation that we have hidden from the public will solve climate change, and that is the main driver for disclosure. 4. The technology reverse engineering is going too slow and disclosure opens up public and private resources and people to further efforts. 5. China has made advances in reverse engineering that surpass the US and we have entered an open cold war. 6. China’s spy network can’t gain access to US research, so they are bribing US officials to disclose so they can steal more information on what technologies we have. 7. There is some big event in the near future that is about to happen, and the secrecy needs to be dropped to prepare the public. 8. It’s a con by the military industrial complex to put the world on perpetual war footing to combat aliens. 9. It’s a con by government or the NWO/WEF/Illuminati to eliminate religion and create a one world government. 10. The book of revelation is unfolding since the creation of Israel as a nation again and these are angels and demons, making this part of the end times. 11. The human/alien hybridization program has reached a stage where Jacob’s “the big change” is about to happen. 12. There is a power pissing match between congress, the DOD, and private aerospace companies. |

The actual link: https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Ryan-HOC-Testimony.pdf Text of PDF: Chairman Grothman, Ranking Member Garcia, distinguished Members of the House Oversight Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs, Representatives Burchett and Luna, thank you for holding the first public hearing on UAP to hear from military pilots and whistleblowers. My name is Ryan “FOBS” Graves and I am a former F-18 pilot with over a decade of service in the U.S. Navy, including two deployments in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Inherent Resolve. I have witnessed advanced UAP on multiple sensor systems firsthand, and I'm here to voice the concerns of countless commercial aircrew and military veterans who have confided their similar encounters with me. I can tell you that advanced UAP are a national security and an aviation safety problem. It has been more than a decade since my squadron began witnessing advanced UAP demonstrating complex maneuvers on a regular basis, and we still don’t have answers. I founded Americans for Safe Aerospace to create a center of support, research, and public education for aircrew impacted by UAP encounters. We now have nearly 5,000 members and are actively working with more than 30 UAP witnesses who have approached us. I am also the Chair of the UAP Integration & Outreach Committee for the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, where we have assembled a volunteer team of almost 80 PhDs and aerospace engineers dedicated to tackling the science around this issue. Today, I would like to center our discussion around three critical issues that demand our immediate attention and concerted action: 1. As we convene here, UAP are in our airspace, but they are grossly underreported. These sightings are not rare or isolated; they are routine. Military aircrews and commercial pilots, trained observers whose lives depend on accurate identification, are frequently witnessing these phenomena. 2. The stigma attached to UAP is real and powerful and challenges national security. It silences commercial pilots who fear professional repercussions, discourages witnesses, and is only compounded by recent government claims questioning the credibility of eyewitness testimony. 3. The government knows more about UAP than shared publicly, and excessive classification practices keep crucial information hidden. There's a lack of transparency around UAP that's unsettling. Since 2021, all UAP videos are classified as secret or above. This level of secrecy not only impedes our understanding but fuels speculation and mistrust. My experience: UAP encounters in W-72 I joined the U.S. Navy in 2009. As a pilot, I was trained to be an expert observer, tasked with identifying any aircraft within our operating area. In 2014, I was near Virginia Beach as part of VFA-11, a Navy Fighter/Attack Squadron made up of F/A-18F Super Hornets. Upon an upgrade to our radar system, we began to detect unknown objects in our airspace. Initially dismissed as software glitches, we soon corroborated these radar tracks with infrared sensors, confirming their physical presence. Over time, UAP sightings became an open secret among our aircrew. They were a common occurrence, seen by most of my colleagues on radar and occasionally up close. The sightings were so frequent that they became part of daily briefs. A pivotal incident occurred during an air combat training mission in Warning Area W-72, an exclusive block of airspace ten miles east of Virginia Beach. All traffic into the training area goes through a single GPS point at a set altitude. Just at the moment the two jets crossed the threshold, one of the pilots saw a dark gray cube inside of a clear sphere — motionless against the wind, fixed directly at the entry point. The jets, only 100 feet apart, were forced to take evasive action. They terminated the mission immediately and returned to base. Our squadron submitted a safety report, but there was no official acknowledgement of the incident and no further mechanism to report the sightings. Advanced UAP defy conventional explanation The UAP we encountered and tracked on multiple sensors behaved in ways that surpassed our understanding and technology. The UAP could accelerate at speeds up to Mach 1, hold their position against hurricane-force winds, and outlast our fighter jets, operating continuously throughout the day. They did not have any visible means of lift, control surfaces or propulsion — nothing that resembled normal aircraft with wings, flaps or engines. I am a formally trained engineer and I have no explanation for this. Recently, I have received confirmation that these encounters were also a shock to the chain of command from one of our advisors at ASA, Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, former head of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and Oceanographer of the Navy. While serving as an Admiral with Fleet Forces Command, he received a classified email on SIPRNET in 2015 from his boss, the Operations Commander, to all 1- and 2-star Admiral subordinates. The title of the email was “Urgent safety of flight issue.” He attached the now famous GO-FAST UAP video from a Navy F/A-18, asking if anyone knew their origin, and expressed safety of flight concerns about multiple near mid-air collisions with UAP in the early warning area off Virginia Beach where my encounters occurred, noting they might shut down the exercise for safety reasons. Admiral Gallaudet reviewed it with his deputy. The next day, the email was removed from his system and that of his deputy, and despite meeting with this group routinely in person, no one ever discussed it. He presumes the email was removed in connection with a classified special access program. He couldn’t believe there was no discussion of an urgent safety of flight issue. He has stated publicly that after seeing the report, he didn’t believe these UAP represent any known human technology. Aircrews along the East Coast continue to encounter advanced UAP nearly a decade later, and the identity of these UAP remains unknown. Americans for Safe Aerospace aircrew and military UAP witness program Recognizing the need for action and answers, I founded Americans for Safe Aerospace, which now has nearly 5,000 members. What I did not anticipate was how many UAP military veteran and commercial aircrew witnesses would reach out to us. The organization has since become a haven for more than 30 UAP witnesses who were previously unspoken due to the absence of a safe intake process. Most do not want to speak publicly. They are afraid of professional consequences. They just want to add their account to the data set. Commercial pilots The majority of witnesses are commercial pilots at major airlines. Often they are veterans with decades of flying experience. Pilots are reporting UAP at altitudes that appear to be above them at 40,000 feet, potentially in low earth orbit or in the grey zone below the Karman line, making inexplicable maneuvers, like right hand turns and retrograde orbits, or j-hooks. Sometimes these reports are recurring, with numerous recent sightings north of Hawaii and the North Atlantic. What commercial pilots tell us can defy belief, often beginning with an apology like “I apologize, I realize this will sound crazy.” I have met with highly credible commercial pilots at major airlines with decades of experience, often veterans, describe UAP operating at altitudes that appear to be above them at 40,000 feet, potentially in low earth orbit or in the grey zone below the Karman line, making inexplicable maneuvers, like right hand turns and retrograde orbits, or j-hooks. Sometimes these reports are recurring, with numerous recent sightings north of Hawaii and the North Atlantic. They are trained observers, often former military pilots, who say they understand Starlink flares and are adamant that is not the explanation. Other domain military witnesses Other veterans are also coming forward to us regarding UAP encounters in our airspace and oceans. Veterans from all branches of service, who are authorized to come forward by the NDAA of 2023 to Congress and the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, are hesitant to do so due to stigma and a confusing process within government. Currently, there is no public-facing way for them to report their accounts. We are filling that gap. The most compelling involve observations of UAP by multiple witnesses and sensor systems, with supporting documentation or a roadmap to find it. I believe these accounts are only scratching the surface and more will share their experiences once it is safe to do so. In multiple cases, contemporaneous notifications were made up the chain of command, and in several, sensor data was escalated for analysis and there were profound irregularities in how the data was handled. Conclusion: There are credible reports from both military and commercial aircrew of unidentified objects in our military and commercial airspace occurring with regularity. The UAP Task Force reported in 2021 that there were 11 near misses with UAP and I understand that number has grown.1 In April 2022, the FAA issued an alert to its operation managers that a commercial aircraft over West Virginia experienced a double attitude and double autopilot failure while flying under a UAP. Stigma surrounding UAP should not undermine the seriousness of this domain awareness gap. If UAP are foreign drones, it is an urgent national security problem. If it is something else, it is an issue for science. In either case, it is a concern for safety of flight. Next steps: To identify and evaluate the nature and intent of UAP we need (1) accurate reporting to determine scope, (2) empowered, unbiased investigation authority, (3) a transparent process to share the findings and data publicly to be studied by scientists. Commercial pilot reporting Today, FAA regulations direct pilots to make UAP reports to civilian organizations. Commercial aircrew who witness UAP are extremely frustrated that there is no reporting system for UAP and no protections against retaliation. They are hesitant to discuss anything “weird” on the radio with air traffic control or in any official company forum, and are only more recently talking freely amongst themselves. They are afraid of professional consequences and they deserve protection. The absence of UAP reporting for commercial pilots creates a domain awareness gap in our airspace. If China is operating advanced UAP near Hawaii, and commercial pilots are observing it routinely, today there is no way to connect those dots. Empowered, unbiased investigation into UAP We need to restore decades of mistrust with the public and UAP witnesses. My lived experience over the past few months has been that as stigma is pushed back and witnesses develop trust in the process, remarkable accounts begin to emerge. The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office is supposed to serve as a central clearing house for the analysis of UAP incidents, but it must have the authority it needs to do its job and it must build trust with witnesses. Director, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick said in the recent NASA Independent Study Team meeting that “metallic orbs” traveling up to Mach 2 with no visible lifting surface or propulsion are being seen all over the 1https://www.dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/Prelimary-Assessment-UAP-20210625.pdf world, but that AARO needs access to scientifically calibrated instruments to evaluate these UAP. Dr. Kirkpatrick has also indicated that eyewitness testimony SOMETHING. We also heard him say in testimony to Congress that he only operated under Title 10 authority, and that additional authorities related to Title 50 would help AARO execute its mission. In the NASA IST public meeting he elaborated he needs access to the scientifically calibrated sensors available to the intelligence community that can characterize UAP, and my understanding is that he would need it to proactively investigate witness accounts. However, last week, in his first public interview, he indicated he has what he needs. I am unsure why or if his statement has changed. He also indicates with respect to witnesses, that he “believes them now.” I respect the challenge of the role and the obligations of a scientist to speak responsibly on this issue, but the American people want straight forward communication. Declassification and scientific research There are two different conversations happening regarding UAP because of overclassification of UAP data. The government has compelling UAP data that is only being disclosed in classified settings. If everyone could see the sensor and video data that I have, there is no doubt in my mind that UAP would be a top priority for our defense, intelligence, and scientific communities. My understanding is that all UAP videos since 2021 are classified Secret or above, which prevents the American people and even some Members of Congress from seeing UAP videos like the full GIMBAL video recorded by my squadron. In the aftermath of the PRC spy balloon and the recalibration of NORAD radar filters, the American people still want to know why three UAP were shot down over several days as a threat to civilian air traffic. What were they? If they posed a threat to commercial air traffic, why is nothing else being done?The overclassification of UAP data prevents us from a true scientific investigation to get answers. The bottom line is, why are we allowing objects in our sky, particularly objects displaying advanced technology, to go unidentified? I believe we should pursue these questions about the nature of UAP with a scientific method and an open mind. In closing, thank you for your leadership today on this important issue. The American people deserve to know what is happening in our skies. It is long overdue. Thank you. |

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. |

There may be a few with good intentions and leading the charge, but soon as they see this stuff and understand its impact on the world, they'll suddenly decide its best stayed classified. All I want from this is a small nugget of new information. |
