House Panel Hears of Hidden UAP Trove, ‘Secretive Arms Race’

Lawmakers press Pentagon brass on mystery craft and advanced propulsion systems

A House panel has heard testimony about a secret trove of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and expressed concern over a potential "secretive arms race" involving advanced propulsion systems.

The House Intelligence Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation held a hearing on UFOs on Tuesday. Witnesses included Ronald Moultrie, Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, and Scott Bray, Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence.

‘Black Projects’ and Advanced Propulsion

Lawmakers pressed Moultrie and Bray on the existence of "black projects" related to UAP and advanced propulsion systems. Moultrie acknowledged that there are "programs that are not publically acknowledged" but declined to provide details.

Bray said that the Navy has encountered UAP with "advanced propulsion systems" but that it is "difficult to characterize" the technology.

‘Hidden Trove’ of UAP Data

The hearing also revealed the existence of a "hidden trove" of UAP data that has not been made public. Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) said that the data includes "hundreds of instances" of UAP sightings.

Himes expressed concern that the U.S. may be falling behind in a potential "secretive arms race." He said that the data needs to be made public so that scientists and engineers can study it and develop countermeasures.

Concerns Over Secrecy

Rep. André Carson (D-IN), the chairman of the subcommittee, said that he shares Himes' concerns about secrecy.

Carson said that the U.S. needs to be "transparent" about UAP and that the public has a right to know what the government knows.

Conclusion

The House Intelligence Subcommittee's hearing on UAP was a significant step forward in the effort to shed light on this mysterious phenomenon.

The testimony from Moultrie and Bray confirmed the existence of a hidden trove of UAP data and raised concerns about a potential "secretive arms race."

The subcommittee's findings will likely put pressure on the Pentagon to be more transparent about UAP and to release the hidden data to the public.
