> The hearing [2]will go ahead on November 13 at 11:30 ET (16:30 GMT). Apparently, it will "further pull back the curtain on secret UAP research programs conducted by the U.S. government, and undisclosed findings they have yielded," according to a [3]House statement . It's driven by two republicans, Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) and Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.), who say: "Americans deserve to understand what the government has learned about UAP sightings, and the nature of any potential threats these phenomena pose. We can only ensure that understanding by providing consistent, systemic transparency. We look forward to hearing from expert witnesses on ways to shed more light and bring greater accountability to this issue."
"Expert witnesses in the hearing will include Luis Elizondo, a decorated former counterintelligence officer who has claimed for years that the U.S. government is hiding knowledge of UAP, including materials recovered from crashed flying saucers," reports Space.com. "The House hearing will also include Tim Gallaudet, a retired U.S. Navy Rear Admiral who unidentified submersible objects, arguing that 'these underwater anomalies jeopardize US maritime security.'"
"Other speakers at the hearing include journalist Michael Shellenberger, who has also [4]claimed the U.S. government is hiding UFO crash retrieval programs, and former NASA Associate Administrator of Space Policy and Partnerships Michael Gold, who is a member of [5]NASA's independent UAP study team ."

"Teasers are usually rich kids with nothing to do. They cruise around looking for planets that haven’t made interstellar contact yet and buzz them.” “Buzz them?” Arthur began to feel that Ford was enjoying making life difficult for him. “Yeah,” said Ford, “they buzz them. They find some isolated spot with very few people around, then land right by some poor unsuspecting soul whom no one’s ever going to believe and then strut up and down in front of him wearing

UFO logy, is a kind of religious cult. In an age where the conventional religions have lost credibility. People have to believe in something.

I figure maybe they're a little bit stoned. First, they get all paranoid, worried that the feds might go after them, so they buzz the aircraft to scare them off. Then, they get hungry and go for a burger.

Well, a lot of peple believe the fantasy characters from very old stories are real and created lifestyles based on them, so it's not a surprise for some of them to think relatively recent science fiction characters are real as well.
People like that are easier to control.

...by putting a stop to idiocy like this. The UFO (now "UAP", because...why?) freaks can go have their conference somewhere else, on their own dime.
On X, someone also published a list of some of the ideas funded by the government. There's plenty of waste going around. It would be cool if Musk can actually pull the plug on some of this crap. A few million here, a few million there, pretty soon you're talking real money...

Sometimes you have to try the nonsense just in case some of it actually works. Even Musk probably realises that until we find a better method of propulsion than chucking hot gas out of the back of a rocket we're never really going to leave our back yard space wise.

I'm fascinated by this verb. Someone else identified an object as e.g. a whale and he said "No"?

Apparently even a lot of the believers don't believe what he says. Seems the man is little more than another grifter leaching off the gullible. There's probably a good reason he's a *former* counter intelligence officer.

If the government wanted transparency they would just be transparent and reveal everything in their files instead of having a government sponsored episode of the cast of Ancient Aliens 2024 edition.
