A whistleblower has told the US Congress that the government is hiding evidence of ‘non-human intelligence’. 

The US House of Representatives this week witnessed an extraordinary event as a public hearing on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) – better known as UFOs – captivated the nation. 

Three retired military veterans took the stand, testifying that the US Government's secrecy surrounding UFOs poses a serious national security threat.

David Grusch, a decorated US military combat veteran and former intelligence official, stirred the room with explosive allegations, claiming that the government has been concealing knowledge of “intact and partially intact” alien vehicles. 

Grusch alleged that a covert program had collected crashed UFOs over decades, and he faced retaliation for bringing these revelations to light.

Congressman Tim Burchett delved further into the secrecy, asking if anyone had been harmed or killed to keep the UFO information under wraps. Grusch admitted there were such cases but refrained from providing specific details in the public session.

Amidst the testimony, the Pentagon denied Grusch's allegations, stating that no verifiable information supported the existence of programs related to extraterrestrial materials. 

The hearing, however, did not centre on direct evidence of alien craft but rather called for government transparency regarding unexplained phenomena.

Ryan Graves, a former Navy pilot, and David Fravor, a retired Navy commander, recounted their encounters with UAPs during military service. 

Graves emphasised that these sightings were not isolated and posed significant safety concerns for both military and civilian aircraft.

Grusch's statements might raise eyebrows due to inconsistencies between his media interviews and his testimony. Despite this, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle united in their call for greater transparency and accountability from the government regarding UAPs.

Rep Robert Garcia underscored the need for a data-driven approach and the importance of using science to demystify the UAP enigma. Rep Jared Moskowitz said that this should be a bipartisan effort to shed light on this complex issue.

Although the hearing lacked concrete evidence of extraterrestrial life, it reignited the debate surrounding UFOs, urging Congress to take action. 

Expectations are high for more legislation to follow as lawmakers work to bring clarity to this mysterious topic that has intrigued and captivated the public worldwide.
