“I would like you to look into it,” Gallagher said. “I have heard stories, I have not seen official data on that,” Bray responded.

Gallagher also asked about a high-profile report of a “glowing red orb” that was reportedly observed over Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana, “in which 10 of our nuclear ICBMs were rendered inoperable.” “Not aware of anything outside of what we are doing in the UAP Task Force,” Bray also added. task force and what we are about to launch in terms of our effort,” he said. “I’m not aware of any contractual programs that are focused on anything related to this, other than what we are doing in the. Moultrie also told Gallagher that he was not aware of any dedicated programs to studying UAP technology outside the current effort. Mike Gallagher, who is also a member of the Armed Services Committee, got Moultrie to say on the record that he was not aware of any official UFO research effort between the Air Force’s Project Blue Book that closed down in 1969 and the short-lived Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program that was established in 2007. “When it comes to material we have, we have no material,” Bray responded. “Are we holding materials organic or inorganic that we don’t know about?” asked Rep. ‘We have no material’Īnd panel members did not shy away from pressing the witnesses on some of the more controversial theories and claims. Rick Crawford (R-Ark.) if sensors have detected underwater or submerged UAPs. Moultrie also deferred to the classified session when asked by Rep. “We want to make sure to calibrate it for things of this nature and size, things of this velocity.” “Sometimes it’s very fleeting data that we have on some of these objects,” he said. Moultrie also said that oftentimes military and intelligence sensors are not able to gather sufficient data. “In this case, we have at least that,” he said. “I think that would be more appropriately addressed in closed session,” he said.īut he did indicate the video footage wasn’t the only evidence.

Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the chair of the full committee, if data on the craft was captured by multiple sensors - and not just video - Bray declined to answer in public, deferring to a subsequent classified session. “I do not have an explanation for what this specific object is,” Bray told the panel.Īsked by Rep. One of the more unusual moments in the hearing was when the witnesses played for the committee a cockpit video taken over a military training range of a spherical craft whooshing past in broad daylight. “We have our inquisitiveness, we have our questions,” he added. we have character and we’re people just like you, just like the American people.” Don’t necessarily dress up, but I do believe that it’s important to show that the Department of Defense. “I enjoy the challenge of what may be out there,” Moultrie said. He also described his own curiosity of the unknown and the potential implications of solving some of the UAP mysteries, including a lighthearted revelation that he has attended sci-fi conventions. André Carson (D-Ind.) if the Pentagon will follow the facts wherever they may lead, Moultrie responded, “we’re open to all hypotheses, we’re open to any conclusions that we may encounter.” “A methodical approach is something we are doing that has not been done before,” he said.Īsked by subcommittee Chair Rep. Ronald Moultrie, DoD’s undersecretary of intelligence, vowed to apply “rigorous scientific analysis” to studying the origin of UAPs through the Pentagon’s recently established Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group. The hearing came amid an internal feud over how much to share with the public, and as lawmakers have criticized intel agencies for being less than forthcoming on what they have learned so far. The hearing covered widely held conspiracies that the government has obtained material from crashed UFOs (they said they haven’t) and whether they have studied high-profile UFO cases such as one that reportedly shut down nuclear missiles in Montana decades ago (they have not and promised to look into it). intelligence officials were pressed to reveal what they know about the highly secretive and controversial mystery. The details came in a rare public session in which top U.S. The updated numbers, which also include some historical cases that have recently emerged, are more than double what was reported in a preliminary report to Congress last June that identified 144 UAPs, including 18 that maneuvered in ways that seemed to defy known aerodynamics. Raja Krishnamoorthi, a Democrat from Illinois. We’ve had at least 11 near misses, though,” he told Rep. Some have also come dangerously close to U.S.
