5 Takeaways , From Congress’ UFO Hearing.
A House Oversight subcommittee convened for a hearing on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) on July 26, NBC News reports.
Three former military officials had five main claims to bring in front of Congress.
.
1.
The U.S. government "absolutely" possesses UAPs.
Former U.S. intelligence official David Grusch said he was told of a "multidecade" Pentagon program with the purpose of reconstructing crashed UAPs.
2.
"Nonhuman biologics" were obtained at a crash site.
I have to be very careful here... [but] what I personally witnessed, myself and my wife, was very disturbing, David Grusch, former U.S. intelligence official, via statement.
3.
A "safe and transparent reporting process" needs to be established.
Former Navy pilot Ryan Graves says that pilots don't feel properly briefed on UAPs, leaving them unsure how to respond to encounters.
4.
UAP stigma "silences" potential witnesses.
According to Graves, pilots' fear of "professional repercussions" is "compounded by recent government claims questioning the credibility of eyewitness testimony.".
5.
A UFO was once seen going "supersonic speeds".
Former Navy commander David Fravor says that he and three other pilots saw an object without wings, rotors or exhaust hovering above the Pacific Ocean in 2004.
It began to approach his jet and then immediately jumped 60 miles away.
The technology that we faced is far superior to anything that we had.
And there’s nothing we can do about it, nothing, David Fravor, former Navy commander, via statement
