There were four witnesses at today's hearing:
Jeffrey Nuccetelli : U.S. Air Force veteran and self-described UAP witness who investigated the reported "red square" sighting above Vandenberg Air Force Base.
George Knapp : Award-winning journalist and chief reporter at KLAS-TV, known for his decades of UFO coverage and multiple Peabody Awards.
Alexandro Wiggins : Navy veteran of 23 years who reported witnessing a "Tic Tac" UAP aboard the USS Jackson in 2023 and noted his father's work at Area 51.
Dylan Borland : Air Force veteran and UAP witness with little public information or media exposure available.
"The public senses that it's real and the people in authority dismiss them," said Knapp, arguing that the public can handle the truth. One of the clips he showed lawmakers was of a drone operator tracking a glowing orb off the coast of Yemen before a missile struck the object. "That's a Hellfire missile smacking into that UFO and just bouncing right off," he said. "What the hell is that?" Knapp said the clip is not unique, claiming multiple video servers with similar UAP footage are being kept from Congress. Borland testified: "This craft interfered with my telephone, did not have any sound and the material it was made of appeared fluid or dynamic."

Congress is busy distracting people from their incompetence?

... who mistook aircraft that had taken off from LAX as "mysterious triangle objects" that had "buzzed" navy ships off the californian coast? You could even see the damn navigation lights on the aircraft blinking before some halfwit zoomed in so much that camera bokeh occured and hey presto - distorted triangular shapes.

I think this are the same people that watch "Ancient Aliens" and think it is true. Or Hunting Bigfoot, or whatever the weirdos trying to find ghosts with silly electronic devices.
I had my own "triangle object" experience while out doing some amateur astronomy one night. I look to thy east and holy crap! There's a mysterious triangle thing in the distance heading my direction. Shooting beams of light even. I'm thinking "Biggest skeptic ever and you're seeing the very thing you don't believe in?".

The Hearing (Score:1)
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna: This House Committee on Flying Thingies will come to order. The ranking member and myself will each be allowed 5 minutes opening remarks.
Rep APL: :
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire

I know the US military has top class tech but still find it curious there are more of these sightings in the US than anywhere else.

A lot of it has to do with the requirement to have flight logs for each outing. There is not much that is better documented than an US Airforce flight.
Richard Doty, anyone? (Score:2)
Whaddya bet he's got his fingerprints all over this stuff? Well enough of it for such testimony to be suspect, and apologies to George Knapp who probably at least believes in what he's saying.
Anyone who is current or ex-military coming forward with these stories to Congress without getting disappeared before the hearing is questionable.
China, Russia, anyone? (Score:2)
Every time I hear about some "UAP" I just think - shit what are China and/or Russia up to now.
