Whistleblowers allege government cover-ups of UFO incidents, intimidating witnesses at House hearing
The U.S. government has long operated a secretive UFO crash retrieval program and has routinely intimidated witnesses who know about the effort, all while engaging in a high-stakes arms race with adversaries around the world that also have transformative and possibly alien technologies.
Those were just a few of the bombshell charges from a witness at a House hearing Wednesday. It was the second hearing in the past two years focusing on “unidentified aerial phenomena,” or UAP.

Once dismissed as pure science fiction, the issue has become a serious, bipartisan matter on Capitol Hill, in military circles and in the scientific community.
At the hearing, former military officials said the Pentagon and intelligence agencies have a vast trove of information, including high-resolution photos and videos, of UFOs that have been hidden from the public and even from Congress.
The witnesses said UAP research programs deep inside the Defense Department, CIA and other arms of the government operate with virtually no oversight and with off-the-books budgets.
Army veteran and former Defense Department official Luis Elizondo suggested to the House panel that the U.S. and its adversaries are working feverishly behind the scenes to develop military capabilities based on technology retrieved from UAP.
“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,” Mr. Elizondo told the hearing, hosted by two subcommittees of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability.
