A bipartisan group of lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee say a high-profile hearing on UFOs is just the start of their push for answers.
And they are threatening to use heavier handed tactics if the Pentagon and intelligence agencies stand in their way.
Reps. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) and Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) want more information on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) — commonly referred to as UFOs — beginning with new laws, a classified hearing and the possible creation of a select committee.
The lawmakers said they are willing to use subpoena power if needed to get the answers they’re seeking from the federal government.
“If there’s not a cover up, the government and the Pentagon are sure spending a lot of resources to stop us from studying it,” Burchett told The Hill.

To get the information from Grusch — who said he was unable to discuss specifics on what he told the Pentagon’s watchdog arm — lawmakers want to sit down with the former official in a sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF) to get additional information from him.
The group has been blocked, however, by officials that have informed them that Grusch doesn’t currently have security clearance to discuss the issues in a SCIF, according to Burchett.

Burchett also made an attempt to put an amendment into a Federal Aviation Administration bill to improve air travel, passed July 20, that would have required UAP sightings be reported to Congress. The initiative was blocked, which Luna said was an indication that “we clearly have a battle ahead of us.”
Another avenue for lawmakers should they not receive access to a SCIF would be invoking the Holman rule.
During Wednesday’s hearing Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) vowed to do just that, saying that he would “personally volunteer to initiate the Holman rule against any personnel, or any program, or any agency that denies access to Congress.”
The Holman rule is a House power through which they can strip the salary of a specific government position, fire civil servants or cut a particular program.

Liberals have brains but don’t use them. Having technology doesn’t mean you understand it.
That is one reason I pursue this topic so vigorously. I have integrated the idea of ETs, or whatever, into my Christian beliefs. I do not find them to be incompatible. It pains me to think that people will fall into insanity simply because they believe God is bound by the same small imagination as their own. They just fail to embrace the hugeness of Creation.
So you’re scared shxtless if they’re actually aliens and not demons. Demons you can handle...
Aliens may come here to save us or destroy us. Guess we’ll see but I’m not seeing demons flying around in some sort of craft.
This is like playing "Wack a Mole" at Chucky Cheesy.
How do YOU manage to ignore the testimony on thousands of witnesses over seven decades?
Any truth to the rumor Sashsquatch will be testifying?
You are right, demons don't need craft. They have managed to attach to liberal minds without using ships. Yes, I think the weird stuff in our world's society is demon possession in some cases.
This has been going on for far too long. We can handle the truth. I’m tired of the the government, or the military, or BOTH treating us like we still believe in Santa Claus. I wonder if there is some kind collusion between the powers-that-be and the owners of these extraterrestrial craft. It makes me wonder if there is some sort of deal made between them.
Somebody’s getting something out of this.
Or maybe I’m just a little crazy.
Oh, yeah. I surely must be so.
It's their specialty.
That isn't something to sneeze at any longer. Finding technology on own own might help control abuse of it. A handout seems to being given to those people who cannot have our best interest at heart. Hence the secrecy.
The problem I see on the horizon now is, what are we really dealing with...who is behind the UFO's (if that's what they are) and how will our world and reality change.
When Lou Elizondo was asked what the public mood would be the week after disclosure, he said, "somber."
That's a little bit scary.
It seems those gifts were first made available to the NAZIS. That doesn’t bode well for whom they selected this time.
That is a sobering notion. Once they see that disclosure is needed by most people, I hope they are noble enough to see it through.
You forgot to add if it will cure eczema.......
I know, stupid answer but it's appropriate to your stupid question.
Just curious, this thread is a welcome place for folks who believe that there are things going on in our atmosphere, aka, UFO's or UAP's.
So why do you find it necessary to drop in and troll with your crap?
You're a non believer, we're ok with that and you've made your point so go away.
I think that its momentum is building. It’s going to be hard to stop once it gets a good head of steam.
I try to follow the Lord’s guidance. He taught us in Matthew 10:
“Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.”
Demonic influence has presented itself in many ways over the millennia. In the Bible, the spirit world was big on witchcraft and communication with the dead.
I think “extraterrestrial” is an update to something more credible to modern people.
The only thing this is not is "nothing".
YAY!!! HALLELUJAH!! You have finally entered the conversation with some meat we can chew on. I'm proud of you, and it is good to have you on board.
