Today Is 'Game Day' In The World Of UFO Disclosure

November 13, 2024 1:00 PM ‐ UFOs

Today is shaping up to be a pivotal moment for disclosure advocates, with a highly anticipated Congressional hearing on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) set to unfold. The term 'UAP' is the official designation for what most people commonly refer to as UFOs, or Unidentified Flying Objects.

This hearing, scheduled for 11:30 am in Washington, D.C., has drawn attention due to its impressive list of witnesses, which includes government officials, military experts, and a few notable whistleblowers who claim to have insider knowledge about these mysterious phenomena.

One notable voice in the UAP field, Chrissy Newton - a writer and podcaster with The Debrief - told American news outlet NewsNation earlier today, "If you love UFOs, this is game day." Chrissy explained, "It's hard to say if it's going to blow the lid off the story. I hope it does... but I'm not sure if it's going to really blow open."

Her views reflect a common sentiment among UFO enthusiasts, who see these hearings as steps towards "disclosure," a term referring to the hope of a full governmental admission of the existence of extraterrestrial or other unknown forms of advanced technology.

This hearing follows a 2023 session that was notable for its bipartisan approach, where politicians from both major US parties came together to discuss a matter that many consider beyond political lines. During the 2023 hearing, former military and intelligence officials described encounters with UAPs that seemed technologically advanced and, potentially, a threat to national security. Despite this, the Pentagon has maintained that it has encountered no technology that it categorises as "non-human."

Today's hearing, led by the House Oversight Committee and chaired by Representative Nancy Mace, aims to update Congress on the Pentagon's findings since then. The House Oversight Committee, a powerful body in the US government, is responsible for scrutinising federal agencies and ensuring their accountability. While the identities of some potential additional witnesses are being kept confidential due to concerns over intimidation, the primary witnesses have released parts of their opening statements in advance.

One of the key witnesses is Luis Elizondo, a former director of the Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), a department dedicated to studying UAPs. Elizondo is expected to make a strong statement, saying:

"Let me be clear: UAP are real. Advanced technologies not made by our Government - or any other government - are monitoring sensitive military installations around the globe. Furthermore, the U.S. is in possession of UAP technologies, as are some of our adversaries."

Also expected to testify is Tim Gallaudet, a former Rear Admiral in the Navy and one-time acting director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a federal agency focused on the conditions of the oceans and the atmosphere. Gallaudet is expected to focus on Unidentified Submerged Objects (USOs), an underwater counterpart to UAPs. In his opening statement, he is set to argue:

"We know from last year's UAP hearing and recent statements and publications by credible whistleblowers that UAP, NHI, and their technology of unknown origin (TUO) represent a new realisation we are not the only advanced intelligence in the universe. Unelected officials in the U.S. government do not have an exclusive right to this knowledge about the nature of reality. The American people have a right to that knowledge."

The list of witnesses also includes Michael Gold, who previously held a prominent position at NASA and worked on NASA's recent independent study into UAPs. Chrissy Newton pointed out that NASA has remained notably silent on the subject over the past year, following their independent research report. Gold's involvement in today's hearing raises questions about NASA's stance, especially given that his insights were instrumental in that report. The report itself was intended to assess how much data exists on UAPs and what further steps are needed to study them, though its findings have yet to fully convince disclosure advocates.

One of the more sensational elements in today's proceedings may come from Michael Shellenberger, an investigative journalist who recently reported on a clandestine government programme allegedly named 'Immaculate Constellation'. This programme supposedly involves the collection and study of UAP data, but its existence has been officially denied by the Pentagon. If true, keeping such a programme hidden from Congress could breach oversight laws, which mandate that government actions must be transparent to avoid misuse of power.

For many, today's hearing represents another cautious step towards full transparency. Advocates argue that the public has a right to this knowledge, while skeptics question whether UAPs represent anything more than natural phenomena, foreign technology, or misinterpretations.
