Why Congress will Hold More UAP Hearings w/ Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi

History repeats itself. The idea that this has all happened before, and will happen again is particularly relevant in the field of UAP. The recent hearings in Congress on the UFO/UAP issue are not the first, 50 years ago other such hearings were held, though nothing came of them. But let me tell you a tale of two US senators, one a Republican and one a Democrat. One long ago, the other more recent. The first was one Senator Barry Goldwater, who was a long-time Republican senator from Arizona and prominent presidential candidate.

Senator Goldwater once recounted that he had heard rumors of recovered materials from a UFO and that they were being held at Wright-Patterson air force base. He called his friend United States Air Force General Curtis Lemay and asked to see the object or objects. The General immediately became angry and in the Senator’s words cussed him out and told him to never ask about that subject again. That would seemingly be the end of it. But it wasn’t.

Just before his recent death, former US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat from Nevada, stated that he had always heard during his time in Congress that Lockheed-Martin was in the possession of a downed UAP. Like Goldwater, he asked to see it, but was flatly denied despite holding high level clearance as a ranking US Senator. The point is, the investigation of this issue is very much bipartisan and apolitical, and it keeps recurring, and for good reason. It's entirely possible that UAP represent an aviation hazard regardless of their origin, or could represent a nation state leapfrogging the US in drone technology. And, it is plausible that whatever they are, they are not of human origin.

My guest today is on the committee that held the UAP hearing and he asked a question regarding recovered materials from UAP. The answer to that was that no and I quote, “The UAP task force doesn’t have any wreckage that isn’t explainable…that isn’t consistent with being of terrestrial origin.” An interesting answer, the UAP task force doesn’t have anything, but that doesn’t speak to the Pentagon itself. As you know I recently interviewed a Republican congressman on the issue, so in the interest of balance, here’s an interview with a Democratic congressman. I give my usual caveat here, as you know I’m an apolitical interviewer, but when interviewing a politician they can get political, though this one really didn’t. So if that’s not your cup of tea, then give this one a pass and treat this interview as a bonus episode and the usual science content will be out as usual on thursday.
