House Hearing on Unexplained Aerial Phenomena
During a hearing on Tuesday, Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) accused a colleague of being untruthful regarding their awareness of unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP).
“I’m not entirely sure what to believe about all of this,” he stated, “but I can definitely tell when there’s deception involved. We are clearly lying, no question about it.”
The hearing included the presentation of a groundbreaking video featuring suspected UAP, filmed off the coast of Yemen in October 2024, while military veterans recounted their own experiences with these phenomena.
Moskowitz, advocating for greater transparency about UAP, noted that the “unblemished records” of these veterans complicate the government’s ability to keep the public in the dark. “Has the narrative shifted? If you’re not from the military, it can be politically advantageous for the government. It would be better if you just stopped by Winnebago and put on a hat,” he remarked. “This is the second or third committee we’ve had, and we have ex-servicemen with impeccable records of information and insight.”
The hearing featured several military veterans who shared their personal encounters with UAP.
US Air Force veteran Dylan Boland claimed to have faced “persistent retaliation” after he blew the whistle on a sighting from 2023, describing a “100-foot equilateral triangle” made of a “liquid” material that took off from his base in 2012.
Rep. Eric Burrison (R-Mo.) presented footage of what he called a Hellfire missile targeting a flying orb that, reportedly, continued on its path even after being struck.
“What in the world is that?” journalist George Knapp, who witnessed the event, asked incredulously.
At the opening of the hearing, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), who heads the Federal Secret Task Force, emphasized that “we can’t expect the public to trust the government if we keep them in the dark.”
By the end of the session, she urged her colleagues to sign a letter ensuring proper protections for whistleblowers like Boland.
