I clean up the transcript but it doesn't capture the clarity and the passion of what was apparent in the video. During a recent visit to Eglin AFB near Ft. Walton Beach Florida, Gaetz saw a clear video of an orb filmed during a test mission over the Gulf of Mexico. Gaetz saw the image and then he, Rep. Burchett, and Rep. Luna interviewed the pilot who saw the orb and other UFO's and captured the image.
This is the video transcript I formatted. If there are any unclear sections of the transcription below, please match it up with the video to revolve confusion:
Gaetz: Several months ago, my office received a protected disclosure from Eglin Air Force Base indicating that there was a UAP incident that required my attention. I sought a briefing regarding that episode and brought with me Congressman Burchett and Congresswoman Luna.
We asked to see any of the evidence that had been taken by flight crew in this endeavor and to observe any radar signature as well as to meet with the flight crew. We were not afforded access to all of the flight crew and initially we were not afforded access to images and to radar.
Thereafter we had a bit of a discussion [an argument with the commanding general actually] about how authorities flow in the United States of America. And [then, after placing a call to the House Armed Services Chair and the Sec. of the Air Force] we did see the image and we did meet with one member of the flight crew who took the image.
The image was of something that I am not able to attach to any human capability either from the United States or from any of our adversaries…and I'm somewhat informed on the matter having served on the armed services committee for seven years having served on the committee that oversees DARPA and Advanced Technologies for several years. When we spoke with the flight crew and when he showed us the photo that he'd taken I asked why the video wasn't engaged—why we didn't have a FLIR system that worked.
Here's what he said.
They were out on a test mission that day over the Gulf of Mexico and when you're on a test mission you're supposed to have clear air space. There’s not supposed to be anything that shows up.
They saw a sequence of four craft in a clear diamond formation for which there is a radar sequence that I and I alone have observed in the United States Congress. One of the pilots goes to check out that diamond formation and sees a large floating (what I can only describe as) an orb, again, like I said not of any human capability that I'm aware of. When he approached [the orb] he said that his radar went down and his FLIR system malfunctioned. And he had to manually take this image from one of the lenses [cameras?] and it was not automatically [?] in a collection as you would typically see in a test mission.
So, I guess I'll start with Commander Fravor: How should we think about the fact that this craft that was approached by our pilot had the capability of disarming a number of the sensor and collection systems on that craft?
Fravor: Well, I think this goes to that National Security side and you can go back through history of things showing up at certain areas and disabling our capabilities, which is disheartening and, for us, like I said it [the tic-tac seen by Fravor and team] completely disabled the radar and aircraft when I tried to do it. The only way we could see it is passively which is how he got that image so I think that's a concern on what these things are doing…not only how they operate but their capabilities to do things like this [disarm sensors].
Gaetz: And how should we think about such a craft moving in a very clear formation equidistant from one another in a diamond. In all of the phenomenon that you’ve ever seen analyzed, Mr. Graves [Gaetz poses question to witness Ryan Graves], have we ever seen multiple craft in a single formation.
Ryan Graves: I have one particular case and that was during the gimbal incident. The recording on the FLIR system shows a single object that rotates and you hear the pilots refer to a fleet of objects that is not visible on the FLIR system. That was something that I witnessed during the debrief as part of the radar data on the situational awareness page. I would like to add however, Congressman [Gaetz] that there's a small bit of a anger--I would say I would feel that those Pilots are still facing that difficulty in reporting this topic and they don't have the tools to be able to mitigate this issue. It just goes to show how serious this is and why this is such an important issue for our pilots and for our nation.
Gaetz: It was stated explicitly to me by these test pilots that if you have a UAP experience, the best thing you can do for your career is forget it and not tell anyone because any type of reporting either above the surface or below the surface does have a perceived consequence to these people. And that is a culture we must change if we want to get to the truth.
Mr. Chairman, I would observe that perhaps as we as we move forward from this hearing there are some obvious next steps every person watching this knows that we need to meet with Mr Grush in a secure compartmentalized facility [SCIF] so that we can get fulsome answers that do not put him in jeopardy and that give us the information we need. Second I would suggest that the radar images that were collected of this formation of craft out of Eglin Air Force Base—and specifically the actual image taken by the actual flight crew—that we can actually [have these images] provided to the committee—subpoenaed if necessary—so that we're able to track how to get this type of reporting and analysis done in a more fulsome way. That would be my recommendation humbly as a guest here of the fine oversight committee.
I yield back.
If they can dismantle planes abilities so easily, I would think we could learn from them.
My FRiend, it will cause nothing but trouble.
I don’t buy the diversion thing either as there is tons of reporting now about the Biden’s influence peddling, bribes, corruption and payoffs. And I think most people are capable of keeping up on several different stories/events at a time.
Years ago I built my own optical observatory and have been photographing/imaging deep space objects, galaxies, nebula, lunar and planetary subjects for many years. I designed the observatory to be operated remotely from inside my home if need be, so I often spend a lot of time looking at the sky. Far more than the average person.
That being said, I have no problem admitting over the years I have seen objects that I simply cannot identify or even explain. And I’m not distracted by these interests and I certainly don’t ignore political events.
Not everyone who disagrees with you is a liar. Not everyone in government is a liar. Hundreds of pilots and air traffic controllers are not all liars.
Reminds me of all those so-called truthful books written in the 1950s about visits from men from Venus. George Adamski comes to mind.
Idk. Try a search engine and let us know.
Two possible explanations as I see it. The US military is the most advanced and they need to destroy us first - or, the Chinese have unlocked partial advanced tech and they’re testing their advanced tech against us to see what they can do without us stopping them
I believe Matt.
Don’t forget Santa and the Easter Bunny.;-)
Here is mine. We have failed so miserably as a planet that they are going to take over and get us back in the right place. Stop the wars, feed everyone.
Wasn’t there a twilight zone episode like that?
Awesome. I would love to have an observatory like that. I’ve been fascinated with space/astronomy (I have a degree in astronomy) since the Apollo missions, which inspired me. I was lucky enough to teach at planetarium at one time. Truth be told, I’ve seen things too that I could not identify. I even saw the floating feather anomaly. Keep looking up!
Matt Gaetz spins an unconfirmable tale about things only he has seen.
IE he writes FICTION. Stop believing hype liars.
That is not the case. They are being seen all over the world.
France Try it: Google is your friend.
We, as a world population absolutely need to contact whoever controls these UAP and see if they can provide Epstein’s client list
“Why are these orbs/ufos/saucers whatever they are, being sighted only on or near US airspace ?”
Say what?

If you are a native in Chad who are you supposed to report your UFO sighting to?
Bwahahahahahaha.
“Why are these orbs/ufos/saucers whatever they are, being sighted only on or near US airspace?”
Probably because they’re American.
