UFO/UAP Congressional Hearing Discussion + Reactions! | Talking Strange

On May 17, Congress held the first open panel on UFO/UAP phenomenon in more than 50 years, but what did the public learn? There were some surprising revelations about viewing UFOs at adversaries, and non-answers that said a lot. It was historic, but was it a "nothing burger"? To discuss the highlights, the low points, and frustrations, host Aaron Sagers leads a panel of UFO researchers Ben Hansen (host, UFO Witness; former federal agent), Ryan Sprague (author/host, Somewhere in the Skies), and Alejandro Rojas (journalist) Lee Speigel (Edge of Reality Radio), Chrissy Newton (The Debrief).

Regarding the government not wanting to disclose their intelligence on UAP's to the public because of national security. The technology is so far advanced it is ludicrous to think they can figure it out. This means they could be a threat to any country. I believe this is a worldwide concern and all data on the subject should be made available.

[@acspirit]

Uaps are no more a threat to the government, than the government is a threat to itself. When you feel threatened by someone, it's better to let as many know as possible, because something bad is less likely to happen knowing others know. Sadly the government doesn't think that way. Knowledge to them, above a population, is bigger than the almighty dollar. It will backfire on them someday.

[@tf1090c]

Lockheed Martin disagree

[@oc7414]

23:16 They said "The task force does not have materials" , look carefully at the language used. This is not to say another department doesn't have materials!

[@Joel-pn3de]

They 100% have materials that would shock the world

[@heavyhitter3185]

Lou says he's Ready to go Testify...I think that would be the Best thing that could happen at this point, and Very Interesting.

[@justins.5222]

I think the biggest advantage Bray and his buddy have is plausible deniability, like Elizondo said on ‘Need to Know’. When grilled about this topic and instances we all believe to be true, they can say I don’t know and technically not even be lying. Wish Lue and Mellon were allowed to be in these hearings.

[@globextradingsystemsllc1740]

Where is the nellis AFB sighting? These two bozo's never heard of that one, Just look on you tube. Why didn't the senate prepare ,to bring , at least that video? Its the best so far, next to the gimbal video. Instead, they insult our intelligence by bringing along a piece of cra*p you don't even see the UFO. Anyone who thinks the military will cheerfully and obediently hand over classified technological info from the crafts they recovered, and disseminate it to the idiotic public, then these people need to change what it is they're smoking! They won't tell us anything for another 100 years.

[@ralphholiman7401]

Yep, send the least informed employee you have to field questions, and that way nothing really disclosed.

[@hardworkgetsbuckets8797]

I watched congress UAP briefing, my take is real simple every single time it got even a bit interesting they were quick to say let’s keep it in closed hearing, in other words they told us absolutely nothing.

[@CAL-zq3dk]

The govt treats everybody with such contempt , that these people will settle for any crumbs that are thrown at them , nothing will come of this.

[@andylino4274]

All the input from this discussion says there is going to be a bunch of FOIA request to follow. Like the wilson Davis document that was entered into the records. during this open session. I also think the bread crumbs that were referred to during this session will be FOIAed real soon.

[@jason1440]

They were extra sensitive about whats going on under the water and in our oceans. They were not prepared to answer up for the Minot AFB incident where 10 ICBMs were rendered inoperable remotely by a UFO hovering outside the front gate. Let it be known that this wasnt the first time that happened and it happened in the Soviet Union to a greater degree. The incident in Russia was the nukes actually went into launch sequence against the operators trying to stop it.

[@RATLEEA10]

Well said and well understood! it makes you wonder if anyone is remotely bothered outside the UFO community!

[@inuyasha4889]

Here in FL I saw orangish colored orbs going extremely low, low enough to tell if it was a floating lantern or drone easily and it still gives me goosebumps. Later on after talking around to some of the guys who go shrimping and fishing commercially, they brought up without any questions from me, orange colored lights that have risen from the water or ascended from it. Of course you should always take things with a grain of salt I would argue that they were adamant that they saw actual objects. The UFO community is full of people who are interested, some people just don't even care and they actually believe it's E.T and not human. I think we as a species are being either too ignorant or apathetic on the whole issue and the powers that be know that so they will drag their feet to hell and back before FULL disclosure.

[@oc7414]

Believe Wilson memo is key here to opening this up.

[@Urkuri79]

They did say they didn't attempt to communicate with the things, sooo you have things flying around in restricted airspace and harrassing your fighter jets and you don't even attempt to communicate with them like "identify yourself or you'll be shot at" etc. If an unmarked nuclear sub would surface in the middle of Potomac would same procedures take place "ahh we don't know whos' it is and we can't be arsed to communicate with it. Might be national security threat"? Also, the phenomenon is close to 100 years old, it's GLOBAL phenomenon and there are no public records of evil intent nor accidents so on what exact grounds it's deemed to be a National Security Threat to the US??? Cheers from Finland

[@Joel-pn3de]

It's way more than 100 years old. There are cave paintings and thing that go back 100s and 1000s of years of these same things. There are reports in the 1500s and everything. Also, according to Jeremy Corbell, the US alone have been firing at these things almost every week and not talking about it

[@mariannwatt2678]

The us airforce warned all the worlds military's not to fire on uap's or even lock on with defence systems it is said that the USAF lost aircraft in the 50 by fireing at uap 's ive read this over the years from many books i think they will protect thimselves if there is a hostle threat kinda creepy

[@Duski67]

The jets did not have live ammunition loaded. This is why the secret military group who built the tic tacs used this day to confront Fravor and team. We likely have anti- gravity technology. Lazar explained how the craft operate decades ago. Does not mean extraterrestrials are not ultimately responsible for our latest tech.

[@Joel-pn3de]

@@Duski67 everyone keeps saying that Bob is lying but I believe him! There is some reason to believe that JFK was assassinated by his own government because he was trying to share information to the public about ufos. They called him Lancer for a code name and they specifically stated that he will need to be taken care of if he keeps pressing into sensitive areas. Pretty interesting if you never looked into it.

[@Duski67]

@@Joel-pn3de I believe there were tensions regarding the ufo topic and JFK but ultimately it was the war machine that drove his demise. Of course the machine is deeply involved in the ufo topic as well.

[@soundsbitter]

Yea this is a issue that people get whacked about

[@annshephard3929]

Great discussion. Thank you for speaking your mind.

[@ralphholiman7401]

This hearing was about as big a nothing burger as I though it would be. I don't know why Congress even bothered. What a dog and pony show. They could have learned more just watching one of Lou Elizondo's interviews.

[@rickdaniels1789]

And even more still from Linda M. Howe.

[@jimmcintosh184]

the most important issue at the moment, as Lou has stated, is having the discussion. Educating the average person,,,in order for the dialog to continue and expand. this is anything but a nothing burger.....it was a historic meeting

[@kevinstraw3731]

@@jimmcintosh184 I agree, it may not have been much for those of us who were already curious. This was big for everyone else. Even if they don’t know it, too bad it was more or less boring for most of it.

[@LeeKirkman88]

If they are going to bring us the truth why do they have a public briefing and a classified one.? Ben Rich Lockheed Skunkworks " We now have the technology to take ET Home, But it would take an act of God to get it out into the public domain".

[@johnnyzee383]

Ok..Im hoping that someone here answers my question that (unless I missed it?) everyone on this panel missed. The accounts of the actual pilots, like David Fravor who said that in his opinion the UAP's encountered by him WERE intelligent. He didnt say this off the top of his head, but because of what they did in response to what the pilots were doing. The were interacting with the pilots and when Fravor was descending to get a better look the UAP then began ascending in the same pattern only in reverse...also, when the pilots went back to starting point A which only they knew, the UAP's were already there waiting for them!!!..How did they know??...I should have been on the congressional panel and asked one of the those bozo's this very question!..Why didnt they mention this??...why didnt someone from congress mention it??..it just may be one of the most important pieces of evidence we have of what they may be..or at least exclude what they simply cannot be.

[@mariannwatt2678]

I think whatever IT is is listining to radio talk and understands as for them going to the cap point ahead of our aircraft that coulf be from years of watching us and knowing our procedurs Bad spelling ha sorry

[@Duski67]

As much as I want to believe they are extraterrestrial, the tic tac arriving at the check point before the pilots arrived was likely known by the black ops group who were testing these craft on a day when they knew the fighters did not have live munitions loaded on their jets… There are more interesting accounts that support extraterrestrial craft than the tic tacs.

[@johnnyzee383]

@@Duski67 What???...Your statement makes no sense...who cares if the "black ops group" knew about the testing...there is no logic here...if there is evidence of intelligence with this encounter and there certainly was, then what else could they have been ???...and yes there is more compelling evidence for UFO's and/or UAP''s certainly pointing to an intelligence and lots of it.

[@Duski67]

@@johnnyzee383 Groups supporting research into black projects have been studying and understanding UAP antigravitic technology for decades. The tic tacs could easily be technologically that the US in now testing without the knowledge of low level groups like Fravor, the other pilots and the radar personnel. Again, the day two fighter jets were given permission to engage with the UAP’s, they had zero live ammunition aboard. Don’t you think that is very coincidental? The UAPs knew the sight of the meeting point, as would top level personnel working on this secret black projects. Intelligence officers were there very shortly to take the radar and other tapes…like they were ready to take these materials before the incident happened. Fravor may be a Top Gun but he is far below the level needed to be a part of antigravity surveillance drone testing that are buried deep in black projects which may have the technology that can change the world…

[@johnnyzee383]

@@Duski67 EXPLAIN yourself. Are you saying that we have acquired the technology from former captured UFO's?..or are you saying ( and im laughing here) that we have suddenly mastered the art of breaking the laws of physics?..once I know where you stand then I can respond.

[@MilkoOfficialChannel]

It was utter dumbed down bullshit. And there’s no discussion about it. It was sheer gaslighting on the subject.

[@nbkoziar88]

It seems to me that the lack of the USAF in this discussion is primarily due to Project Blue Book. It's like they know that public sees PBB as a cover up and no longer trusts the air force. So they specifically keep them out of this discussion

[@ralphholiman7401]

Yep, for whatever reason, the Navy seems to be at least trying to be forthcoming about the phenomena, while the Air Force seems dead set on keeping it covered up and secret. I'm guessing, it's simply that they have knowledge they don't want the Navy or anyone else in the government to know. In Washington DC, knowledge, especially knowledge that only you have, is power.

[@mariannwatt2678]

@@ralphholiman7401 for years the navy has been more forth comeing going back to the 50's they at one time had a real fight with the cia lieing to the navy so the navy started there on programs to investigate thats what ive read i think in one of dolans books and dolan seems to be pretty straight shooter

[@MultapSniping]

Great video! It’s consisting of many well known ufo enthusiasts for sure! That where I think the problem may lye. So without offering any opinion as to wether these known enthusiasts are legitimate, I would suggest trying to get some out of the lime light normal reactions and display them for people to see. We get bored of people who “could be on the take” due to their fame. Find some people who are unknown and get some raw opinions, and watch the audience react with vigour. Interview me :) 😅

[@MultapSniping]

What I find strange about KZbins reaction to your video. You have 13k view at present and yet I cannot search to find this video. It’s almost as if KZbin is down playing it. If you compare a similar titled video from 9news with 12k views you will see that their video is one of the top displayed videos. Yet we cannot find yours.. I had to Google the title to get a relevant link. Perhaps it’s you’re video tags? I don’t know but I felt the need to comment as any similar reaction to yourselves has been hidden. Try for yourselves to find a negative reaction to the congress hearing using the app. Good luck. And lastly, I predicted at least 1000+ KZbin negative reaction videos yet we see less than 15 and that’s if you can find them. Please respond

[@spookyninja4098]

Did Congressman Gallagher at the UAP hearing just ask the Pentagon about the 10 Malmstrom Nuclear ICBMs shut down by a UFO in 1967 = Then Oh Lord he asked about the Joint Chief Admiral Tom Wilson Memo where he admits to MJ12 and Roswell recovery Holy Molly 😜 That was worth it right there

[@beeasy4360]

It’s not hard to put a video out where sensitive info is not compromised still pics u don’t have to tell us exactly make model of camera and video recorders

[@rickdaniels1789]

Dog and pony show. Breadcrumbs. We will find out what we can as the general public amongst ourselves.

[@mariannwatt2678]

People in government at the military level and DOD employes can only say so mutch i was read in to sap's many years ago and they make it verry plain what you can say do or talk about for the rest of youre life my family only i worked for a company but not what i did you sware to remain silent for life and if you talk youre going to get hammered national security is no joke

[@gboo9490]

If transparency is what they are after couldn't one get access and show skeptics famous enough like Neil degrees Tyson to shut him up about to far to get here.until I see the Disney astro physicist beg for forgiveness making millions off knowing nothing about the topic they study I'm not holding my breathe

[@WhirlOmar]

I’m a big fan of the topic. But I’m getting disinterested. It doesn’t move forward.

[@mikeavery4098]

Here's something they're not sharing with you one of the very first space flights from Russia there's spacecraft encounter another spacecraft that sat outside their window for over an hour and they videotaped it you don't ever hear about that my dad's next door neighbor was a cosmonaut that shared that information from when he worked at nasa for 14 years. If you guys want to join a group you should join the tin foil hat society they have x fighter pilots xcia members a lot of people that are just sick of all the secrecy behind UFOs the military branch that wants to end all the secrecy is the Navy by the way.

[@RATLEEA10]

Up close to an orb (10 mtrs) when they are the size of a car as in my encounter you feel strange, time slows down and it goes very quiet, i watched one for 15 min as it made its way up river towards both myself and a friend, we first thought it was a bout it then stopped air born 5 mtrs up in front of us for about 3-4 min then moved and blinked out, note, before we saw the object directly in front of us the city was a bustle of 10pm noise and Friday night traffic and movement, after it had blinked out it was 2 am in the morning and the city was asleep, the only thing i know of that could produce this is MASS / ENERGY, so it is my assumption E.T are warping or bending space time via an energy to get here and an energy we Humans have yet to utilize, and the orb is the plasma field around a sighting / craft made by the tremendous amount of energy needed NOT the craft itself. When i say we Humans have yet to utilize i mean main stream, i believe the US Military / Tic Tac`s are ours and was a message to other hostile nation`s we have cracked it! so don`t even think about it! some of the E.T inside these craft however are classed as Demonic and getting over the Hurdle of that and the 75 years of lies and the Human casualties that have gone on will need to be addressed and an amnesty given before we Humans can embrace our future in the Cosmos.

The silver sphere that blipped past the window I've seen these a few times one was in the 90's broad daylight about 25 meters away and 5 RAF jets in triangle formation interrupted that encounter and TRIED to give chase. I say tried in capitals because this thing went from a stand still to gone in seconds and made the jets look like they where moving in slow motion. 1st time i ever see jets fly so low above houses it shook everything. My father and friend Ben also watched it all. Also my Great Uncle Bernard was the mid machine gunner being interviewed on Britain's UFO files talking about his experience with foo fighters balls of light following his Bomber! So yes these are not ours they are 100% extra-terrestrial. We did not have this technology that far back and maybe not even now. I've seen many UFO's since a child some massive some small all different shapes. The latest was on the beach with my friend it was around 8pm we was metal detecting and this ufo approach us and flew overhead it had come from the direction of the sea and left in that direction too, So must have been able to detect our detectors! and got curious. That's the only reason i can think of?
