A toss-up between here and the general. Figured here would be logical, since there were LGMs involved. :wink:

It wasn't last week it was over a month ago. We had some discussion of it here, but I can't seem to find the thread. The general consensus is it's just more of the usual; unsubstantiated claims, hearsay and fuzzy photos/no physical evidence. But there are some who Believe. I'm not sure there's much more to say that would run this afoul of our rules, so I'm going to close it now.

FAQ: Congressional hearing on UAPs/UFOs

What is the purpose of the Congressional hearing on UAPs/UFOs?

The purpose of the Congressional hearing on UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) or UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) is to gather information and assess the implications of sightings and encounters reported by military personnel and other credible sources. The hearings aim to improve transparency regarding government investigations into these phenomena and to evaluate national security concerns and public interest.

What are UAPs and how do they differ from traditional UFOs?

UAPs, or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, is a term that has gained popularity in official discourse to describe aerial objects that cannot be easily identified. While UFOs typically refer to any flying object that is not readily identifiable, UAPs emphasize the need for a more systematic investigation, often linked to national security and scientific inquiry.

What has been revealed in previous hearings or reports on UAPs?

Previous hearings and reports have revealed that military personnel have encountered UAPs that exhibit flight characteristics beyond current human technology, such as extreme speed and maneuverability. Some reports have acknowledged the lack of understanding of these phenomena and highlighted the need for further research and data collection to determine their nature and origin.

What actions are being taken by Congress following the hearings?

Following the hearings, Congress may take several actions, including proposing new legislation to mandate further investigations into UAPs, allocating funding for advanced research, and establishing protocols for reporting and analyzing UAP sightings. The goal is to enhance national security measures and promote transparency regarding the government's knowledge of these phenomena.

How can the public access information discussed in the hearings?

The public can access information discussed in the hearings through official Congressional records, live streams of the hearings, and subsequent reports released by government agencies. Additionally, news outlets often provide summaries and analyses of the hearings, making the information more accessible to a broader audience.
