‘A Skull and Bones-type vibe’: Spy agencies grapple with how much to share at UFO hearing

As Congress prepares to hold the first public hearing on UFOs in half a century, the Pentagon and intelligence agencies are feuding internally over how much to cooperate with demands to investigate and share what they know, according to current and former national security officials.
Pentagon officials are under increasing pressure to carry out Congress’ recent mandate to establish a permanent effort to coordinate research into reports of highly advanced aircraft of unknown origin intruding into protected airspace.

But there is a tug of war among competing factions inside the national security bureaucracy that will make it difficult for Congress to compel military branches, spy agencies, national laboratories and other organizations to come clean given the longstanding secrecy and stigma surrounding the issue.
“Without forcing peoples’ hand, it is going to be very difficult to uncover legacy ventures and programs that we know about based on oral interviews we dug up,” said a Defense Department official who is involved in the new effort but was not authorized to speak publicly. “There has to be a forcing mechanism.”
“There has to be something to hold people accountable but also give them a chance to come out clean for a period of time,” the official added, noting that in his experience the Pentagon oversight group has been “stonewalled.”
The official said there are people with knowledge of the phenomena who have yet to contribute to the oversight effort.
“These people exist and they are protecting very interesting information,” the official said.

Every government has factions within and the US government is no different especially on this matter of alleged disclosure.

The don't seem to settle this. There was a big UFO flap in the 50’s that shut down Dulles airport . 50 ufos were spotted. This was all in the news then. As a kid I remember local news with ufo spotted at 10,000 feet hovering for hours. Politics regurgatated.

reports of highly advanced aircraft of unknown origin... 'Spy' agencies know the origin.
For example, there is the TR3B Black Manta.

Twice and two days with the meme.
"They fetishize their secret society,” the official said. “It’s kind of a Skull and Bones-type vibe."

It is inescapable that some, most or all of the sightings are our own advanced, secret, black budget technology or that of other countries. The difficulty of deciding what to reveal more or less confirms that.

What are they up to now?
Has there really been any substantial public clamor for a hearing on this?
