“When the American people and members of Congress ask, ‘Are reports of UAPs credible?’ We’re met with stonewalling. We’re met with responses of, ‘I can’t tell you.’ In fact, we’re met with people not wanting us to have hearings,” said Rep. Jared Moskowitz, Florida Democrat.

Rep. Nancy Mace, South Carolina Republican and chairwoman of the House Oversight and Accountability subcommittee on cybersecurity, information technology and government innovation, suggested that people in the federal government tried to block Wednesday’s hearing.
