The hearing, dubbed “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth,” featured expert testimonies and witness accounts. The panel of experts included government employees and a NASA’s UAP Independent Study Team member.

Though the experts have recently revealed that most’ UAPs’ are drones, plenty of objects can be considered extraterrestrial. The National UFO Reporting Center has a map anyone can use to track sightings in their area.

Michael Gold, an ex-NASA associate administrator of space policy and partnerships and a member of the UAP study team, informed the hearing that “the vast majority of UAPs are drones.”
However, he acknowledged some anomalies require further investigation and conceded that some of the observed UAPs “can move faster” than US submarines and “are being intelligently controlled.”
Luis Elizondo, an author and former Department of Defence official, asserted that “advanced technologies not made by our government – or any other government – are monitoring sensitive military installations around the globe.” He emphasized: “Let me be clear. UAP are real.”

The inquiry, co-chaired by Nancy Mace and Glenn Grothman, was the second to examine the UAP phenomenon. “Americans deserve to understand what the government has learned about UAP sightings and the nature of any potential threats these phenomena pose,” the co-chairs declared in a statement.
The hearing followed a long-awaited report release. NASA conducted a study last year that examined previous UFO (or UAP) sightings. The study did not find any definitive evidence of extraterrestrial life, but the possibility was not entirely ruled out.
According to the British spotter group UFO Identified, there were 395 documented sightings in the UK in 2023, a 20% decrease from the 497 sightings in 2022 and lower than the numbers recorded in 2021 (413) and 2020 (484). The North West region had the highest number of sightings last year, with 41, followed by the South East (40) and then the South West (39).

Yesterday, the Pentagon’s latest report on UFOs has revealed hundreds of new reports of unidentified and unexplained aerial phenomena but no indications suggesting an extraterrestrial origin.
The review includes hundreds of cases of misidentified balloons, birds and satellites as well as some that defy easy explanation, such as a near-miss between a commercial airliner and a mysterious object off the coast of New York. While it isn’t likely to settle any debates over the existence of alien life, the report reflects heightened public interest in the topic and the government’s efforts to provide some answers.
