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.

That is a good reason, for sure. I keep losing sight of that concept, heat of battle and all...
The Bible doesn’t do any such thing.
The home planet want’s their frozen guys back.
Answer my questions, please.
Both the Bible and science were not meant to be a straight jacket to limit human knowledge and curiosity.
They were meant to be a platform for it.
The greys are manufactured bodies used for remote manipulation.
But somehow, you dismiss thousands over decades.
15 One witness is not enough to convict anyone accused of any crime or offense they may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.
Somehow, you are authorized to discard thousands of witnesses, many whom are Christians. From whence comes your judicial authority?
My bad.
Why? Provide specifics.
;-D, trouble is, nobody can separate fact from fiction at this point in time. Make ‘em talk.
Seems to me a hostile alien invasion or even a friendly one would circumvent all the problems you listed.
That said, have you ever read this verse (Luke 21:26):
"men's hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.I'm not saying that I know beyond a doubt that what Luke is referring to is UFO's or aliens. That verse may not at all be applicable to what we are dealing with.
But, bottom line, the Bible doesn't preclude non-human beings. There is God's heavenly host (angels). And there are the fallen angels (and their offsprings--depending on your interpretation of Gen 6). Anyway, my point is that, for most believers, the Bible doesn't preclude the existence of intelligent non-human beings, whether from other dimensions or distant galaxies.
He is on a quest to convince us that we are fools. He has yet to offer evidence or a logical discussion, or answer questions posed to him.
But do you have good reason to believe that your opinion is correct to the exclusion of all other possibilities.
I mean, no one can predict the future. This may be a distraction, or it may not. It may be exactly what the hearing witnesses say it is. Or it may be something else entirely.
Isn't that fair to say?
How in the Wide Wide World of Sports can this be ignored?
Tell you what, it happens so often in South America it is just no big deal anymore. I have seen some incredible footage from down there. Especially from around Sao Paulo Brazil.
By the way, those look just like the ones I found on Google earth.
His handle is Reverend Wright.. could be if UFOs are proved to be real his whole world falls apart.
I get all the points he list as important but every Congressional inquiry ends in a huge disappointment.
The government creates problems to give them something to run against and solve.
An alien invasion would be a welcomed “distraction” in his words 👽👽👽
“His handle is Reverend Wright.. could be if UFOs are proved to be real his whole world falls apart.”
Any “aliens” will turn out to be demonic deception, which I think is what is being prepared here.
We don’t need “aliens” to come to earth to save us, Jesus already did.
