Lawmakers claim intel community obstructs UFO investigations
Bipartisan Lawmakers Accuse Government of Withholding Information on UFOs
A group of bipartisan lawmakers held a press conference at the Capitol, expressing their frustration with the lack of transparency from the federal government regarding unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), commonly known as UFOs. They accused their congressional colleagues of participating in the “stonewalling” of information.
Reps. Tim Burchett (R-TN), Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Andy Ogles (R-TN), and Eric Burlison (R-MO) detailed the obstacles they’ve faced in their attempts to investigate UAPs and the scarcity of information available.
Pushback from Intelligence Community and Congress
According to Burchett, they have encountered significant resistance from the intelligence community, members of Congress, and the Pentagon. He shared his proposed amendment to the Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill, which aimed to require the FAA to report UAP sightings by commercial pilots to Congress. However, the amendment was shut down, allegedly due to the influence of the intelligence community.
“When you’re over the target, that’s when you get the most fire,” Burchett emphasized.
Lawmakers Stonewalling Transparency Efforts
Luna supported Burchett’s claim that some lawmakers intentionally obstruct their campaign for transparency. She called their actions unacceptable and expressed frustration at being repeatedly stonewalled whenever they gained traction in their investigation.
Moskowitz clarified that their push for transparency is not solely about finding extraterrestrial life but also understanding advanced technologies. He emphasized the need to know what these UAPs are without compromising national security.
Large quantities of time, effort, and money are being invested in convincing lawmakers and the public that “something doesn’t exist,” Burchett claimed.
Access to Information Denied
The group revealed that they were prevented from accessing information at an Air Force base, despite being told it existed by whistleblowers. Luna criticized unelected bureaucrats for denying elected officials the ability to review such information and questioned who should have clearance if they don’t.
However, Gaetz thanked Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee Mike Rogers (R-AL) for facilitating their access to the information they ultimately viewed.
While frustrated with their colleagues and the lack of transparency, the lawmakers acknowledged some successes, including Burchett’s amendment requiring the Department of Defense to declassify records on public UAP sightings, as long as national security is not compromised.
What pushback and roadblocks have lawmakers faced in their efforts to obtain information on UAPs from the government?
Elligence community and their congressional colleagues. Efforts to obtain information on UAPs have been met with pushback and roadblocks. The lawmakers expressed their frustration with the lack of cooperation and transparency, accusing the government of withholding vital information from the American public.
Rep. Luna highlighted the importance of a bipartisan approach to addressing this issue. She emphasized the need for both sides of the aisle to come together in the pursuit of truth and transparency. Luna called for a full investigation into UAPs, acknowledging that this issue transcends party lines and affects national security.
Concerns were also raised about the lack of a centralized database or reporting system for UAP sightings. This fragmentation in information gathering has hindered comprehensive analysis and understanding. Rep. Moskowitz stressed the importance of establishing a consistent and coordinated effort in collecting data on UAPs. He expressed gratitude for the growing support within Congress for increased transparency.
The Importance of National Security
The lawmakers emphasized that the investigation into UAPs is not merely an exercise in curiosity, but an essential matter of national security. There have been multiple reports of incidents involving unidentified aerial phenomena with advanced capabilities. These incidents pose potential risks to military and civilian aircraft, as well as national security infrastructure.
Rep. Gaetz raised concerns over the potential for foreign adversaries to possess technology that surpasses that of the United States. He called for a comprehensive review of U.S. capabilities and a reassessment of defense strategies in light of the reported UAP encounters.
The Need for Transparency and Accountability
Transparency and accountability in government are crucial for upholding the principles of democracy. The lawmakers urged their colleagues and the intelligence community to provide the American public with the information they deserve. They called for the declassification of relevant documents and the sharing of any evidence or data related to UAPs.
Rep. Ogles stressed that the American people have a right to know about any potential threats or unknown phenomena that may affect their safety. He emphasized the importance of public trust in government institutions and noted that transparency in this matter will only strengthen that trust.
The Way Forward
In conclusion, the bipartisan lawmakers press conference at the Capitol shed light on the frustration and obstacles they have faced in their attempts to investigate UAPs. They accused their colleagues of participating in the secrecy surrounding UAPs and emphasized the need for transparency and accountability in government. The lawmakers stressed the importance of national security and the potential risks associated with unidentified aerial phenomena. They called for a comprehensive review of U.S. capabilities and the sharing of relevant information with the American public. As bipartisan support grows, it is hoped that a more thorough investigation into UAPs will take place, leading to greater understanding and the protection of national security interests.
