US Government To Discuss UFOs Next Week
The United States House of Representatives will hold a hearing next week to discuss «unidentified aerial vehicles,» but don't expect the government to tell us aliens are real just yet.
According to The New York Times, the hearing will include testimony from defense intelligence officials.

The government said it could only explain and identify one such incident.
The report said the majority of the phenomena were indeed «physical objects,» but it could not explain most of them. That said, the government did assert that these were not secret US technology.

US representative Adam B. Schiff (D-California) said the hearing is being held to help shine a light on «one of the great mysteries of our time and to break the cycle of excessing secrecy and speculation with truth and transparency.»
Deputy director of naval intelligence Scott W. Bray and under secretary for intelligence and security Ronald S. Moultrie will provide testimony at the hearing, which is scheduled for Tuesday, May 17.
