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.

The government (the Pentagon and the FAA so far) is fighting back against those demanding transparency.
That is a lot of blocking for something that doesn’t exist. Who do those people think they are anyway?
Great headline—summarizes the most important battle of our lifetime.
If we can crack the secrecy we can bring the Deep State to its knees.
Their list of crimes is endless and will shock even the most jaded of us.
Yep.
No MAGA Congressman should spend one minute on this distraction.
Oh, I don't know about that. I am "deep jaded".
continuing...
That is why I do not worry about Team Squirrel here.
Their uninformed opinions from afar are irrelevant.
The trumpets of the battle have sounded.
The Deep State will be shown to make Al Capone look like a choir-boy in comparison.
“That is a lot of blocking for something that doesn’t exist. Who do those people think they are anyway?”
And a lot of blocking if the agenda is supposed to be a distraction.
Does anyone see the parallels between UFO secrecy and COVID?
Most of us who follow this stuff disagree with you somewhat vehemently. Why do you find it necessary to post the same thing on every thread regarding this topic? We know how you feel, you've made it redundantly redundantly clear. Try something new for a change: Bring new information in on this topic that supports your viewpoint.
What sex are they ..and do they know? That’s my main concern.
The space aliens and not the law makers...although.....
Suppose they prove there are et spacecraft and martian bodies in the freezer at Roswell ?
Then what ?
Thank you for your useless contribution. You are doing the job of the Deep State. I hope you are getting paid since they are fully funded.
That news could potentially open a completely new era in human civilization.
I hope the check is in the mail.
Can't they grant him immunity and force him to name names?
Additionally, who has the final say so on super secret stuff and can't they be forced to talk?
“UFO secrecy and COVID?”
The biggest parallel to my mind is the propaganda techniques of the Cabal and their mass media subsidiaries:
—Identical headlines and exact words in articles.
—Name calling and ridiculing of opposition.
—Direct and indirect censorship and canceling of opposition.
In the case of UFOs this has been going on since the 1950s. They had plenty of practice suppressing information long before Covid and the Vaxx.
