2024 Congressional UAP Hearing – "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth"

Consistent Presence Near Sensitive Sites:
UAP activity is particularly concentrated around nuclear facilities, military installations, and research hubs such as Oak Ridge, Los Alamos, and Savannah River Site. Witnesses suggested these sites might attract UAPs due to their technological and strategic significance.

Advanced Capabilities Beyond Known Technology:
Some UAP demonstrate extraordinary propulsion, transmedium capabilities (air to water), and maneuverability. Observed behaviors include:

• Sudden accelerations exceeding thousands of G-forces.
• Precise and anticipatory reactions to military movements, including "stalking" ships and splitting aircraft formations mid-flight.
• Emergence from and submersion into oceans, suggesting potential underwater bases or operations.
  

Physical and Psychological Effects:
Witnesses noted physiological and psychological effects on individuals encountering UAPs, such as anxiety, insomnia, and a feeling of being watched. Some UAPs also disrupted electronic devices and caused thermal sensations, indicating interaction with the environment.

1. Existence of Biologics:
   Witnesses confirmed reports of recovered biological materials of non-human origin, though details remain classified. These biologics are allegedly associated with crash retrieval programs and could range from advanced forms of life to entirely new definitions of intelligence.
   
2. Redefining Intelligence:
   Witnesses emphasized the need to expand our understanding of intelligence, considering non-biological or artificial forms. Non-human entities could be artificial intelligence, machine-based, or operate under completely unknown biological frameworks.
   
3. Potential Communication:
   Witnesses described non-verbal interactions, such as displays of intent through maneuvers, akin to how nations demonstrate military strength.

Active Concealment:
Witnesses unanimously agreed that parts of the federal government, particularly within the Department of Defense (DoD), are actively suppressing UAP-related information. Methods include:

• Excessive classification of UAP data.
• Deletion of emails and suppression of internal communications.
• Intimidation of whistleblowers through psychological operations and career threats.
  

Historical Context of Secrecy:
The Cold War served as a starting point for UAP suppression to avoid revealing vulnerabilities to adversaries. However, this secrecy has persisted unnecessarily, creating public distrust and hindering scientific progress.

Legislative Oversight Failures:
The hearing revealed a concerning lack of Congressional oversight. Witnesses highlighted the exclusion of lawmakers from UAP programs and decisions, raising questions about accountability within the executive branch.

1. Pilot Safety Risks:
   UAPs frequently interfere with military and civilian aviation, posing serious flight safety concerns. Witnesses recounted near-collisions, forced evasions, and disruptions during military exercises.
   
2. National Security Implications:
   The inability to attribute UAPs to specific entities—foreign adversaries or otherwise—presents a significant intelligence gap. UAPs’ ability to bypass detection and operate near sensitive sites underscores the need for enhanced airspace and maritime defense capabilities.

Whistleblower Protections: Witnesses stressed the importance of protecting whistleblowers to encourage more disclosures. Current intimidation tactics deter potential sources from coming forward.

Legislative Efforts: Bipartisan support was highlighted for legislative measures, including:

• The Safe Airspace for Americans Act: Encourages civilian pilots to report UAPs without fear of stigma.
• The UAP Disclosure Act: Seeks to declassify UAP materials and establish oversight mechanisms, similar to the JFK Assassination Records Act.
  

Scientific and Public Engagement: Witnesses advocated for NASA and other scientific institutions to lead unbiased investigations into UAP phenomena. Public access to credible data would build trust and foster scientific discovery.

Background: media personality and former U.S. Army Counterintelligence Special Agent; former employee of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence; later held a position as Director of Global Security and Special Programs for TTSA; former director of the now defunct Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP) – a program associated with the release of the Pentagon UFO videos

Key Claims:

Existence of Crash Retrieval Programs:

• Elizondo confirmed the existence of secret programs aimed at recovering and reverse-engineering UAP materials.
• “The US government has run a multi-decade UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program.”

Threats to Aviation and National Security:

• Emphasized UAPs’ provocative behaviors, including splitting aircraft formations and stalking military vessels.
• “They’re making it pretty obvious they have the ability to interfere with our nuclear equities and readiness.”

Biologics and Non-Human Life:

• Acknowledged the recovery of biologics but deferred on specifics due to classification.
• “Yes, biologics have been recovered. These samples were collected before my time, in fact, before I was even born.”

Systematic Government Suppression:

• Reported intimidation and suppression by Pentagon officials, including harassment and deliberate misinformation campaigns.
• “I’ve personally been a victim of psychological operations aimed at discrediting this topic.”

Over-Classification:

• Criticized excessive secrecy and suggested it stems from Cold War-era concerns and institutional inertia.
• “When you don’t have answers, it’s easier to suppress information than admit vulnerabilities.”

Background: American oceanographer and retired Rear Admiral in the United States Navy. Gallaudet worked for the U.S. Department of Commerce as the Acting Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere and Acting Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Key Claims:

Pilot Safety Concerns:

• Highlighted frequent near-collisions with UAPs during military exercises, calling for immediate safety measures.
• “They were threatening Navy pilots during exercises, and they still risk pilot safety today.”

Deleted Emails and Information Suppression:

• Recounted incidents where UAP-related emails were deleted, presumably to cover up unauthorized disclosures.
• “The day after I received it, the email was wiped from accounts. The topic was never discussed again.”

Correlation with Sensitive Sites:

• Affirmed consistent UAP activity near nuclear and military installations.
• “Our nuclear and R&D locations appear to be under surveillance, likely for their technological significance.”

Need for Transparency and Oversight:

• Stressed the importance of Congressional oversight and public accountability.
• “The exclusion of Congress from UAP information undermines national security and public trust.”

Transmedium Capabilities:

• Discussed UAPs observed moving seamlessly between air and water, including sonar detections of USOs.
• “One credible submarine officer reported a USO outpacing his vessel by orders of magnitude.”
