The House of Representatives has set a Nov. 13, 2024, date for the next hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs), aka UFOs, with a witness list that includes a former Navy admiral.
The hearing follows one held in the summer of 2023 after whistleblower David Grusch alleged the Pentagon has been operating a secret UFO retrieval program.
Held by the House Oversight Committee, the hearing, titled “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth,” will begin on the 13th at 11:30 a.m. ET, and one witness said to be there is retired Navy Rear Adm. Timothy Gallaudet, who has spoken about his experiences with UAPs and unexplained submerged objects.
A full witness list has not been released, and in previous hearings, witnesses have expressed fears of intimidation or stigma associated with speaking openly about UAPs.
The Defense Department has repeatedly denied that there are secret UFO or UAP programs in existence, though it did admit to plans for the Kona Blue program, which would have reverse-engineered UAP technology.

Recent reporting from independent journalist Michael Shellenberger revealed the existence of a whistleblower report that names, for the first time, an alleged Pentagon UAP program: Immaculate Constellation.

How relevant/urgent is that?
After this last year of electioning this sounds boring and trivial.
If a Martian walked into the hearing with a ray gun and blew up Congress
I don’t think I could work up any emotion about it. Meh
This should be fun—kinda a root canal for the Pentagon.
Lol.
Former Naval commander agrees to testify with others at upcoming UAP hearingThe House Oversight and Accountability Committee is planning to host the hearing on Nov. 13, DefenseScoop has learned.

Retired Navy Rear Adm. Timothy Gallaudet is one of multiple witnesses set to testify at a congressional hearing next week about government transparency concerns and reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) that could endanger U.S. national security.
Two sources familiar with the plans, who requested anonymity to discuss the hearing before it’s held, told DefenseScoop on Wednesday that it will be led by Republicans on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee on Nov. 13.
Without sharing more information about who is testifying and why the hearing is being hosted now, a spokesperson from that committee separately confirmed in an email that it is scheduled for next Wednesday.
“The Cyber Subcommittee and National Security Subcommittee will hold a joint hearing on UAPs on November 13. Cyber Subcommittee Chairwoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) and National Security Subcommittee Chairman Glenn Grothman (R-WI) will co-chair the hearing,” the spokesperson told DefenseScoop.
They said the lawmakers hope to provide more information to the public “in the coming days.”
The Pentagon has a complicated history with UAP, or the modern term for UFOs that accounts for transmedium objects.
The upcoming hearing will follow several that lawmakers have convened in recent years, which came largely in response to mounting public pressure and alerts raised by former defense officials about seemingly unexplainable objects increasingly threatening America’s military assets and personnel in the modern era.
One of the officials DefenseScoop spoke to suggested that some of the topics that will be raised in this next meeting will likely include transparency issues associated with the Pentagon’s and Intelligence Community’s handling of UAP reports and ongoing investigations; calls for more congressional oversight of the executive branch on UAP; and examples of how such phenomena have presented challenges to flight safety in real-world military operations.
Defense Department spokespersons declined to answer DefenseScoop’s questions on Wednesday regarding whether any current officials — particularly from the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) — were asked to or will serve as witnesses. They directed the inquiries to congressional spokespersons, who also declined to identify those tapped to testify.
Gallaudet previously led Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command and served as Oceanographer of the Navy. He also deployed on multiple tours afloat during his career in uniform, and later served for about a year-and-a-half as the Senate-confirmed assistant secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere after retiring from the military in 2017.
In his retirement, Gallaudet has been candid about his experiences while on active duty observing now-verified video footage of UAP and unidentified submerged objects (USO) captured by colleagues — and his aims to help de-stigmatize discussion of this previously taboo topic across the military.
Some left for home before they could be questioned at the hearings.

And notice that Peanut the Squirrel ruined it for the usual idiots who say “Squirrel!” on UFO threads
Nah. I’m sure the networks are all running with that
but I’m switching back to re-runs of Beretta.
:)
Gallaudet is solid and knows a lot.
The whole topic of underwater bases is very interesting.
Imho we also have some secret military/intelligence stuff going on there (that may not be directly be related to UAPs) that Congress may not have been briefed on properly.
Supposedly we hide some “breakaway civilization” type stuff there.
There is a mess here—and there are many reasons the Pentagon is terrified of this entire topic.
Lol.
Btw Richard Dolan is promising release of a three volume set on USOs (underwater submersible objects) very soon and of course I will get my paws on them when they are available.
Trump is going to disclose. He has said he is going to get to the bottom of this crap.
Transparency.
As you have said (and I completely agree), Dolan is solid.
Or are you just worried about UFOs?
Boo!
I listened very carefully to President Trump’s comments on Joe Rogan and he was much less decisive than he is on almost any other issue.
He basically said “I trust the pilots are telling the truth” on the one hand and then “This has not been a major interest of mine” on the other.
The problem with that second statement is his uncle:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_G._Trump
His uncle was very close to this topic—imho he may have been working on efforts to “shoot down” UAPs and there is a chance he was even a part of Majestic 12.
The comments in the article on the Tesla article is blatant disinformation—the technology was extremely dangerous and rumor is it did get into Nazi hands before Tesla’s death.
One podcaster who is all over this topic is the Deep Journalist Daniel Liszt.
Bottom line—I think President Trump probably knows more about this topic than any of his briefers!
Trump is a very practical guy. UFO/UAPs are not a practical issue.
I think Trump knows something (from various pilots) but I don't think the CIA and DOD have been straight with him.
That said, I do think he will tell us the truth when he learns it.
If he doesn't, I still think we will see the truth in his face.
Trump's an open book. That's the way he rolls. If he starts to hide stuff like this now, we will all see it.
Here is a long thread that has most of Daniel Liszt’s videos:
Post #14 has the first video on the Tesla/Trump connection and is probably the best place to start.
Liszt is brilliant—and has a lot of interesting ideas you may not have heard anywhere else.
He has convinced me that President Trump grew up on this stuff—talked to his uncle about it since he was a teenager.
Isn’t Liszt the musician that did “Georgia”?
