Discussion of UFOs and assertions that the government knows more about them than it's letting on will once again fill the halls of Congress.
A House task force on government transparency is set to host a hearing Tuesday, Sept. 9 in which four witnesses will offer testimony under oath about their experiences with UFOs, as well as their perception that the military is being less than fully transparent about what exactly is behind the sightings.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Florida, who chairs the task force, said in a statement that "American people deserve maximum transparency from the federal government on sightings, acquisitions, and examinations of UAPs and whether they pose a potential threat to Americans’ safety."
"Whistleblowers who provide details on spending information and policies and procedures regarding the classification and declassification of UAPs should be able to do so without retribution," Luna continued in the statement. "I look forward to hearing from witnesses on how the federal government can improve transparency and provide better answers on UAPs."
Luna's Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets was established in February 2025 and is a separate House Oversight subcommittee from the one that last held a hearing on UFOs in November.
