US Congress has promised to ‘pull back the curtain’ on secret UAP research programs conducted in the shadows of the government in a court of law.

A second slew of hearings into UFOs is scheduled for November 13, led by the House Oversight Committee, with former military officials and an aerospace expert set to testify about their knowledge of secret US programs.

Lawmakers have promised ‘to explore firsthand accounts of [UFOs]’ and ‘assess the federal government’s transparency and accountability regarding their ‘possible threats to national security.’ Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), a member of the subcommittee, said: ‘The Pentagon and Washington bureaucrats have kept this information hidden for decades, and we’re finally going to shed some light on it. 

‘We’re bringing in credible witnesses who can provide public testimony because the American people deserve the truth. We’re done with the cover-ups.’

There will be four witnesses set to testify under oath, including former Department of Defense Official Luis Elizondo and former NASA Associate Administrator Michael Gold. Next week’s hearing, set for 11:30am ET, will be a joint effort by Rep Nancy Mace (R-SC) and Rep Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.).

‘This is our second hearing on the topic of UAPs and the American people are tired of the obfuscation and refusal to release information by the federal government, they said in a shared statement.

‘Americans deserve to understand what the government has learned about UAP sightings and the nature of any potential threats these phenomena pose.

‘We can only ensure that understanding by providing consistent, systemic transparency. We look forward to hearing from expert witnesses on ways to shed more light and bring greater accountability to this issue.’

The committee has not released details on cases to be presented on Wednesday but provided the list of witnesses.

Elizondo, a career US Army counterintelligence specialist, previously ran the military’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.

He recently hosted a private event in Philadelphia on October 28 to reveal an image of an alleged UFO ‘mothership.’
