The House Oversight Committee will hold a hearing on UFOs following a military whistleblower’s claims that the government has been lying to the public about the existence of extraterrestrial life for “decades.”
Speaking at the U.S. Capitol yesterday, House Oversight Committee Chairman Representative James Comer said NewsNation: ‘There will be a hearing about it, there will be supervision.’
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla) and Rep. Tim Burchett (Rep-Tenn) will lead the investigation.
In a statement to DailyMail.com, the commission’s spokesman said the move was prompted not only by the whistleblower’s comments, but also by other reports that “continue to emerge regarding unidentified aerial phenomena.”
The House Oversight Committee is following these UAP reports and is in the early stages of scheduling a hearing.

On Monday night, David Charles Grusch, an Air Force veteran and former member of the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, made the startling claims on air that the US and other countries are engaged in a top-secret arms race to achieve “reverse engineering.” alien technology, and that the US has recovered “a fair number” of UFOs
The National Defense Authorization Act for 2022 created the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office that coordinates between the Department of Defense, the intelligence community, NASA and other federal agencies to study UAPs.
“Americans, who continue to fund this federal government’s work, expect transparency and meaningful oversight from Congress,” he said.

In an interview with NewsNation, he claimed to have recovered not only alien planes, but also the pilots who had flown them.
“These are non-human engineering vehicles, call them spacecraft if you like, non-human vehicles of exotic origin that have landed or crashed.
“I thought it was totally crazy and at first I thought I was being cheated, it was a ruse.
“People started confiding in me. Approach me. I’ve had plenty of senior, former, intelligence officers come to me, many of whom I’ve known almost my entire career, confiding in me that they were part of a program.
“Sure, if you get something back that landed or crashed. Sometimes you come across dead pilots and believe it or not, as fantastic as that sounds, it’s true.’

Grusch submitted his report in July last year. The Inspector General of the Intelligence Community called the complaint “urgent and credible” at the time.
“There is a sophisticated disinformation campaign targeting the American people that is extremely unethical and immoral,” he said, accusing the US government of lying to the public for “decades.”
“We are certainly not alone,” he said, adding that “quite a number” of aircraft have been discovered.
On his debut Twitter show last night, ousted Fox News host Tucker Carlson said he didn’t know why the topic wasn’t at the top of the news cycle.
In a normal country, this news would qualify as a bomb: the news of the millennium. But that doesn’t count in this country.’
Carlson accused The Washington Post and New York Times of ignoring the story.
“There was absolutely nothing about how an alien species allows hypersonic aircraft to fly over our cities. Not a word.’
He said, “So if you’re wondering why our country seems so dysfunctional, that’s a big part of it. Nobody knows what’s happening.
“A small group of people control access to all relevant information, and the rest don’t know.”
