A bipartisan group of lawmakers hosted a congressional hearing on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), formerly referred to as UFOs, on Nov. 13. Witnesses testified on the threat to national security from potential incursions into U.S. airspace while criticizing the Pentagon for shrouding many UAP documents in secrecy.

The hearing, led by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) and hosted by the House Oversight Committee, was titled “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth.” Former Department of Defense official Luis Elizondo, former NASA Associate Administrator of Space Policy and Partnerships Michael Gold, retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, and journalist Michael Shellenberger testified.
