Indiana Seventh District Rep. André Carson made history today in his role as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee’s subcommittee on counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and counter proliferation, by presiding over the second public hearing in U.S. history about Unidentified Flying Objects—or in modern terms, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, or UAPs.
Before the hearing, Carson told Indianapolis Monthly writer Sam Stall his interest in the topic dates to childhood, and UAPS are "a potential national security threat" and must be investigated:
During this first congressional hearing on UFO sightings in more than 50 years, Pentagon officials told lawmakers extraterrestrial life is not the cause of what the government calls “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP).” During the hearing three unclassified videos of UAPs were shown to members of the House Intelligence Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Counterintelligence. Scott Bray, deputy director of naval intelligence, told lawmakers after a UFO sighting is reported, an investigation usually results in one of the following categorizations: airborne clutter, natural atmospheric phenomena, U.S. government or U.S. industry developmental programs, foreign adversary systems or unexplained sightings that merit further investigation. Pentagon officials said they conduct lengthy investigations on any report due to possible national security implications.
