Lawmakers claim UFO 'cover-ups' from Pentagon, military as witnesses head to Congress (plus video of press conference)
foxnews.com ^ | Chris Eberhart

Lawmakers said they had "an argument" with a commanding officer at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida as they pushed for answers about UFOs.

[...]

"They refused to answer questions posed by whistleblowers, avoiding the concerns of Americans and acknowledging that the possible threat UAPs poses to our national security as well as public safety is extremely unnecessary."

During the recent trip to Eglin Air Force Base, Luna said she, Burchett and Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., were blocked by the Pentagon and Air Force from seeing information and pictures, from reading testimony from pilots who saw potential UFOs and from talking to witnesses.

They visited Eglin Air Force Base because they were told they were going to be briefed on UFO-related issues, Burchett said.

Luna added that they were following up on whistleblowers' claims.

"The synopsis had nothing to do UFOs, and we stopped the thing in the middle of it and said, ‘Hey, this is not what you all told us we were coming down here for.’ And they basically told us, ‘We’re not going to get into UAPs,'" Burchett said.

Luna said this sparked the confrontation with the commanding general at the base.

"Even before we got down there, the Pentagon tried to stop the field hearing," she said.

"After much arm twisting, we got some of the information, but the fact is … that they answer to Congress acting on behalf of the American people, and any government entity that attempts to stonewall us is doing nothing in the best interest of the American people," Luna said.

"If the Air Force, the Pentagon thinks they're above Congress, then they have another thing coming to them. We told them we were going to do this if they continue to hide information."

Considering Fox’s decline in viewership, they may be pushing it for financial reasons. UFO’s sell.

“What is interesting here is that the Pentagon and USAF caved to the House Armed Services Chairman.”

Yet they still cannot get access to talk to the Jan 6 prisoners...

Wouldn’t that fall to the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep Jim Jordan?

Yes... Is he less powerful that the House Armed Services Chairman? Or dragging his feet?

Didn’t mean to go off topic, but I found your observation interesting in relation.

20 or 30 years ago I remember congress complaining about too many things being labeled secret by the army. An example given was that the formula for army peanut butter was classified secret.

Mathematically, the probability is other advance civilizations should exist, though that chance is infinitesimally small.

“Burchett has reported that what they saw was shocking.”

I wonder what the Pentagon and USAF are trying to cover up?
Probably nothing.

The distances are too great they’re not folding space yet the spice is not been discovered. So I’m going to say they are traveling in the fourth dimension from the future of this Earth or maybe from the past.

Science fiction writers have been all over this for the last 50 years.

That’s right. The govt has gone on a decades long pattern of intimidating professional airline pilots over nothing.

If DoD were to release a boatload of information about UFOs and aliens that said they are real, why would that be any more believable than anything else the government says?
