WASHINGTON DC – A bipartisan congressional briefing Thursday revealed startling details of a never-before-seen UFO hovering over the US.

Government officials heard from scientists who said they need a larger role in the investigation into UFOs and other strange phenomena the government has been keeping secret.

The House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, with help from the UAP Disclosure Fund, held the briefing Thursday called ‘Understanding UAP: Science, National Security & Innovation.’

It’s focused on UFOs (or UAPs, as they’re now called) and what the government knows about these unusual sightings.

Luis Elizondo, a former Pentagon official who investigated UAPs before becoming a UFO whistleblower, and Avi Loeb, a Harvard astrophysicist, were the main speakers.

They’re pushing for the government to release more UAP data and for the development of better ways of detecting these unidentified objects.

The hearing was led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, the Republican congresswoman from Florida charged by President Trump with overseeing the disclosure of several classified events, including UFO sightings.

Pentagon whistleblower reveals new photo of giant UFO taken by civilian pilot

Former military intelligence official Luis Elizondo held up an unvetted photo of a UAP taken by a civilian pilot Thursday.

According to the Pentagon whistleblower, the image came from a regular camera, taken at 21,000 feet as the enormous silver craft hovered over the ground.

The UFO was said to be approximately 1,000 feet long, the size of a ocean cruise ship.

Elizondo highlighted the uncertainty that military, commercial, and civilian aviators face when they witness and/or document UAPs in US airspace: ‘Do they report it to the FAA? Do they report it to NORAD? Maybe the airforce?’ he asked.

‘Once again, you would think this information would be important for somebody to look at,’ he added.

‘If these are over sensitive military installations, whose are they? What are their capabilities? What is the intent?’

Tech expert reveals ‘UAP inspired technologies’ being worked on by private businesses

Dr Anna Brady-Estevez, a founding partner of American DeepTech, a technology investment firm, revealed that companies in the private sector are allegedly building new inventions based on alien systems.

Brady-Estevez, who previously worked with NASA on space economic policy, said she had funded entrepreneurs who described their inventions as being inspired by UFOs.

‘They were working on advanced energy. They were working on advanced communications,’ the tech investor explained.

‘I funded companies working on what the entrepreneurs later described as UAP-adjacent or UAP-inspired technologies,’ Brady-Estevez added.

She added that these inventors were not allowed to go into detail about their tech because of the classified nature of the research.

Former NASA chief reveals shocking photos still not investigated by US officials

Mike Gold, a former NASA associate administrator, revealed the amazing images sitting in the space agency’s archives that have yet to be investigated as possible UAPs.

Gold, the current president of civil and international space at tech company Redwire revealed several shocking images of unexplained phenomena that has been photographed by NASA on Mars and the moon.

Those images included another sighting of the so-called ‘Tic Tac’ UFO, which recently appeared on the surface of Mars after multiple sightings over the Pacific Ocean.

‘Why are we not investigating this?’ Gold asked.

‘It’s certainly worth the effort to investigate and we’re not doing it!’ he added.

New poll finds nearly HALF of Americans think the government is hiding UFO secrets

A newly published poll found that 44 percent of Americans believe that the government is hiding information about the existence of UAPs, while 28 percent disagree and another 28 percent are unsure.

The poll, conducted by NewsNation/Decision Desk HQ, surveyed 521 Republicans, 559 Democrats, 349 independents and 18 ‘other’ voters.

Young Americans were found to be especially suspicious of the government’s UAP knowledge, with 49 percent of Gen Z respondents and 48 percent of millenials claiming that federal officials know more than they’re letting on, compared to just 39 percent of baby boomers.

Republicans were also revealed to be more suspicious than Democrats or Independents, with 48 percent saying the government hides UAP information. Just 39 percent of Democrats and 44 percent of Independants felt the same.

There Is A Huge National Security Issue Here

Intelligence community expert Christopher Mellon added on Thursday that the military has recently submitted roughly 1,800 reports involving UFOs in just the last few years.

The reports went to AARO, the Defense Department’s office for investigating and assessing the threat posed by UFOs and UAPs.

They add to a growing list of events that the US military have taken as serious threats to national security.

There are dozens of unsolved cases going back to the 1960s that occurred over nuclear missile installations, Navy ships, and a desert in New Mexico.

The FBI, CIA, and other government branches have spent years looking into these reports, but have yet to determine what the objects were and where they came from.

In just the last few months, the skies over New Jersey were filled with unidentified aircraft and drones that required a formal response from both the Biden and Trump presidencies.

Navy Admiral says classified UFO memo was erased from his computer

Tim Gallaudet, a retired Navy Rear Admiral at Thursday’s UFO hearing, says a secret military document was removed from his computer without his permission.

Admiral Gallaudet said the classified memo described the urgent need to address near-misses Navy pilots were having with UFOs.

Gallaudet, who was in charge of safety and flight while serving as the chief meteorologist in the Navy, said the email had an infamous UFO video attached to it.

The email, which sought urgent information about the origin of the UFO threatening Navy planes, was mysteriously wiped from his computer a day after the admiral received it.

‘It didn’t sit well with me,’ Gallaudet said.

He added that it’s the reason he’s gone public with what he knows and why he’s calling on the White House to disclose what the government knows about UFOs.
