House panel to hold hearing on UAPs, or UFOs, as pressure builds for more transparency
CBSN
Washington — House lawmakers are holding a hearing Wednesday to pressure the executive branch to release more information about unidentified anomalous phenomena, known as UAPs or UFOs, as bipartisan momentum grows for greater transparency about the strange encounters documented by hundreds of pilots.
The House Oversight Committee's national security subcommittee is convening at 10 a.m. to hear from three witnesses with firsthand knowledge of how the government has handled UAP reports.
"They either do exist or they don't exist. They keep telling us they do exist but they block every opportunity for us to get ahold of the information to prove that they do exist," GOP Rep. Tim Burchett, the subcommittee's chairman, said at a press conference last week. "And we're going to get to the bottom of it, dagnabbit, whatever the truth may be. We're done with the cover-up."
