House Republicans demand UFO transparency
The Hill ^ | Marik Von Rennenkampff

Posted on 02/18/2025 11:33:33 AM PST by RoosterRedux

On Feb. 11, House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) announced the establishment of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), a member of the bipartisan UAP Caucus, will lead the effort.

Comer and Luna sent letters to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CIA Director John Ratcliffe requesting a briefing on all UAP-related records in their possession, with the ultimate goal of “deliver[ing] transparency to the American people.”

Notably, Rubio and Ratcliffe, along with National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Trump himself, have made remarkable statements about UAP in recent years.

...

In two remarkable 2023 interviews, Rubio stated that multiple officials with “very high clearances and high positions within our government” approached the Senate Intelligence Committee alleging the existence of secret UAP retrieval and reverse-engineering programs. Rubio, who is set to appear alongside more than 30 government officials in a new UFO documentary, characterized the whistleblowers’ claims as potentially “the biggest story in human history.”

Rubio said that the high-level current and former officials who spoke to the Intelligence Committee have “firsthand knowledge” of illicit UAP reverse-engineering activities. Asked about the credibility of the individuals, Rubio asked rhetorically, “What incentive would so many people with that kind of qualification [...] have to come forward and make something up?”

...

Waltz’s comments echo those of Trump’s CIA director. In a 2021 interview, Ratcliffe, who served as director of national intelligence in the first Trump administration, stated that UAP have been tracked by multiple sensors, including satellites, and “engage in actions that are difficult to explain, movements that are hard to replicate [and] that we don’t have the technology for.” Ratcliffe said that UAP exhibit “technologies that we don’t have and, frankly, cannot defend against.”

Do people still have their HUA regarding this UAP nonsense?

Trillions of dollars has disappeared and these kooks are out chasing UFO’s.

Insane.

So Republicans want to reveal the information and Democrats to hide the UFO information?

Is there an invasion of pencil-necked pumpkinheads we should be aware of?

Hoax or cover up?

Either way it’s an issue that needs resolved one way or the other.

I don't really care about the UFO "issue".

It is just a distraction from dealing with the corruption in the American government and ejecting the criminals who have been running it for so long.

Unidentified craft are interfering with Naval air training operations and buzzing our nuclear aircraft carriers and bases around the world and you think it should be ignored with because DOGE is digging for fraud?

The entire country doesn't shut down because of DOGE.

We can multitask.

Did you ever consider that all this money that disappeared might have went to black projects/reverse engineering projects to counter these UAP threats that’s given our Carrier F-18 Super Hornet pilots fits.

Actually, there’s bipartisan support for this issue.

I don’t man. This seems like it should be a really low priority.

“We can multitask.”

Absolutely. What about US. We have been waiting for a long time now. By the way? Are the drones still flying all over the place? When are we going to be briefed on those?

Yep. As long as DOGE is finding fraud, the rest of America should just shut down.

For my part, I refuse to change the litter box until DOGE finds every stolen dollar.

Was thinking the same thing. I think this administration can walk and chew gum at the same time.

I really wish they would find a budget solution first much harder and much more important for the American people

I haven’t heard a satisfactory or even responsive answer to my question posed about this here, multiple times now.

IF, these craft that display aerial acrobatics far beyond our know and public capability to match or defend against, ARE really ours in training, why have we been TESTING them for 30 plus years and not deploying and using them to crush our enemies and save American soldier lives?

We let Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Afghanistan take American soldier lives while keeping capabilities a secret because.. ??
No one knows? I’ll wait for a coherent response.

"Hoax or cover up?"

If you look at the alleged evidence true believers present as proof you can clearly see it's' a combination of hoaxes, mistaken identifications, and deliberate mis-identification by con artists making a buck and bs artists having fun with the gullible and weak-minded.

Wouldn't that make them harder to see?
