I'm disturbed that ARO itself lacks transparency. Even its budget is kept from the public. So if there is no there there, then why are we spending money on it and by how much? Why the secrecy, if it's really no big deal, and there's nothing there, why hide it from the American people? The All domain Anomaly Resolution Office AEO has reported hundreds of UAPs that remain uncharacterized and unattributed and which appear to have demonstrated unusual flight characteristics or performance capabilities and require further analysis. This is our own Aero office. Now, we shouldn't prejudge what they might be. I'm certainly not going to. We need evidence, but we are detecting things and we know that we don't understand them, and this is worth investigating. Attached to the email is what is now known as the Go fast video captured on the forward looking infrared sensor of one of the Navy FATen aircraft participating in the exercise. Now declassified video showed an unidentified object exhibiting flight and structural characteristics, unlike anything in our arsenal. The implication of the email was clear. The author was asking whether any of the recipients were aware of classified technology demonstrations that could explain these objects. Because the DOD policy is to rigorously conflict such demonstrations with live exercises, I was confident this was not the case. The very next day, that email disappeared from my account and those of the other recipients without explanation. Let me be clear. UAP are real. Advanced technologies not made by our government or any other government are monitoring sensitive military installations around the globe. Furthermore, the US is in possession of UAP technologies as are some of our adversaries. I believe we are in the midst of a multi decade secretive arms race, one funded by misallocated taxpayer dollars and hidden from our elected representatives and oversight bodies. And since my reporting on this Immaculate constellation last month, another source came forward who told me that they saw a roughly 13 minute long, high definition full color video of a white orb UAP coming out of the ocean approximately 20 miles off the coast of Kuwait. It was filmed from a helicopter. The vehicles we're talking about are performing in excess of 1,000 2000 3,000 Gs? I think probably the vast majority of UAP are drones, experimental aircraft, weather conditions, which is, again, why I say, if we review the data, I think we're going to discover a lot about things we weren't even thinking about. But there is a percentage that isn't. And looking into those anomalies is how discoveries will be made. Mr. Elsando, based on your knowledge of UAP sightings, do you believe it's fair to say that they are especially common near nuclear sites? Yes, sir. Mr. Congressman, I absolutely am convinced of that, as are my colleagues inside the government. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"U.S. House Holds Hearing on UAP Reports From Former NASA, Military Officials","description":"U.S. government experts, former DOD and NASA officials, and others testify before a House Oversight Committee on reports of \"unidentified anomalous phenomena\" (UPA) on Capitol Hill Wednesday.
