NASA and Pentagon Investigate UFOs as Congress Pushes for Transparency
New research program ExoProbe searches for potential alien objects, while lawmakers demand full disclosure of UFO-related documents.
- NASA has formed a panel to investigate reports of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), appointing a director for UAP research and releasing footage of mysterious metallic orbs.
- The Pentagon has also shown interest in UAP, with former intelligence officer David Grusch testifying that he had interviewed around 40 people involved in secret programs dealing with crashed UFOs.
- A new research program, ExoProbe, is searching for short light flashes from potential alien objects using multiple telescopes.
- Congress is pushing for transparency on UFOs, with new rules requiring the government to create a records collection at the National Archives for UAPs, technologies of unknown origin, and non-human intelligence.
- Despite these steps, some lawmakers believe the disclosure policy doesn’t go far enough and are pushing for total disclosure.
