A secret meeting to discuss UFOs is taking place in the heart of the US government next week – raising questions about what intelligence officials are keeping from the public.
Members of the House Oversight Committee will be given a classified briefing on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), the new name for UFOs, in the Office of House Security on Friday, January 12.
Interest in UAP at a government level soared last year after a former intelligence officer, David Grusch, turned whistleblower, alleging the government had ‘evidence of intact and partially intact alien vehicles’.
That bombshell led to a full congressional hearing on the subject, in which Mr Grusch and two other witnesses gave testimony under oath regarding their experiences with UAP.
Former Navy commander David Fravor shared his memory of the famous ‘Tic Tac’ UFO, a small, white object that buzzed past military aircraft, before apparently being picked up by radar 60 miles away seconds later.

Last month, the UK’s leading UFO expert Nick Pope revealed fears that ‘demonic forces’ were behind UAP had previously obstructed government investigations into the phenomena.
In the US, Tennessee congressman Tim Burchett has been vocal in demanding the government reveal everything it knows about UAP, and leads the bipartisan group of oversight committee members.
House intelligence committee chair Mike Turner, and House armed services committee chair Mike Rogers are opponents of a bill that would lead to the formation of a panel of experts with ‘presidential-level authority’ to investigate government records and reveal them to the public.
Proponents of the bill argue that any opposition proves they have touched a nerve – suggesting the government does know more than it’s letting on.
The UAP disclosure act would also allow the government to seize ‘any and all recovered technologies of unknown origin and biological evidence of non-human intelligence that may be controlled by private persons or entities’.
Growing interest in UAP has not been limited to the US.
In September, Mexico held its own congressional hearing into the issue. However, it was derailed when ufologist and journalist Jaime Maussan revealed what he claimed were the bodies of two ‘non-human beings’, said to have been found in a Peruvian algae mine.
The specimens have been largely branded a hoax across the scientific community, and also caused a minor diplomatic spat between Mexico and Peru.
Scientists in Mexico recently gathered together to discuss the findings at a conference, the subtitle of which was ‘Science responds to the charlatans and the gullible’.
