WASHINGTON – Once a pop-culture punchline, UFOs are fast becoming a hot topic on Capitol Hill and a pressing national security concern for some members of Congress.
A trio of former military and intelligence officials is urging a House subcommittee to finally get serious about so-called unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs.
They warn that UAPs, whatever their origins, pose a serious potential danger to both military pilots and commercial aircraft.
They suggest taxpayer dollars have been quietly misappropriated for decades to advance the classified study of what they call craft of “non-human origin.”
And they tell compelling stories about their own close encounters – from the flying “Tic Tac” of 2004 to more recent military sightings of a dark cube inside a clear sphere.
Today’s witnesses included former intelligence officer David Grusch, who says the U.S. is engaged in a long-standing, top-secret effort to retrieve and reverse-engineer crashed UAPs.
