I'll just include the important parts from the subreddit post:

The attached link will lead you directly to the House Oversight Committee's hearing page for the UAP hearing due at 10AM on July 26, 2023 - just under one week away. Link also below:

https://oversight.house.gov/hearing/unidentified-anomalous-phenomena-implications-on-national-security-public-safety-and-government-transparency/

The subject of the hearing is listed as 'Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Implications on National Security, Public Safety, and Government Transparency'.

Linked on the page is the scheduled YouTube livestream link that is usual with House hearings. In case anyone runs into trouble accessing the government website, the direct link to the livestream is:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQ7Dw-739VY

To also note - previous hearings listed on the website show a list of witnesses brought forward during the hearing. This seems to only appear AFTER the hearing has concluded. Also attached, again after the hearing has concluded, is a document containing the statement made by each witness in the form of a PDF file. Each witness will have their own document, if provided, under their name (hyperlinked as Document for all) Examples of this can be seen by looking on the pages for already held hearings via the main hearings list via this link:

Former Pentagon insider, veteran and investigator Luis "Lue" Elizondo is quite possibly the most important voice in the modern UFO movement, and he sat down with NewsNation's Ross Coulthart to share the story of what he claims the American government really knows about UFOs.

It's a bit of a joke. But still, with Jacques Vallee's theory in mind about the absurdity , and the mimicry, maybe there is something to it afterall 🤔

This sighting took place on December 16, 2009 in Santiago, Chile.

This week, the director of the U.S. government’s UFO analysis office stated that there is “evidence” of concerning unidentified flying object activity “in our backyard.” According to physicist Seán Kirkpatrick, who heads the congressionally-mandated All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, this alarming UFO activity can be attributed to one of two extraordinary sources: either a foreign power or “aliens.”

To be sure, the ramifications of either would be significant. But Kirkpatrick’s comments, which come as he is about to retire after a 27-year defense and intelligence-focused career, are more intriguing because he also says that “none” of the hundreds of military UFO reports analyzed by his office recently “have been positively attributed to foreign activities.”

At the same time, Kirkpatrick and senior defense officials have ruled out the possibility that secret U.S. programs or experimental aircraft explain the phenomena.

Several orbs can be seen. Heres the time stamps i could identify anomalous flight.

0:03 - halfway up the screen it flies right to left

0:05 - top right of the screen 2 orbs can be seen. The closer one does somewhere around a 180° turn!

0:06 - top left. If you slow it down you can see it make a sharp turn, in the shape of a "7"

:26, :46, :53, and :55 - top right corner

:48 - :51 - bottom right to left and back. Then from bottom right to top right

:57 - across the bottom, left to right

:57 - :59 - bottom right and up the right side. At the same time as the next one!

:58 - :59 - top right corner to left corner and back out the right again

1:02 - 1:07 - enters top left, and flies to the right side about halfway up the screen

1:10 - 1:11 - looks like there might be some in the bottom and right side? Hard to see as the blurry, but i see two at one point!

1:27 - about 1/3 up the screen from left to right

1:30 - 1:32 - bottom right

Some very interesting footage taken by U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency.

I vouch for the US FOIA process when it's not being stonewalled but this article has a disingenuous take. The BlackVault has in the past called on whistleblowers to testify to Congress under oath and now the goalpost has shifted. They want more to prove their statements. Even under oath DG stated the DOPSR report only clears it for it's classification not it's validity. Unfortunately, this is not enough. This is just another attack at a whistleblower who put their money where there mouth is and testified under oath to Congress.

“Non-human” alien corpses have been displayed to Mexican politicians at Congress.

The two small alleged alien corpses, retrieved from Cusco, Peru, were presented in windowed boxes in Mexico City on Wednesday, stirring excitement within the UFO conspiracy theorist community.

The event was spearheaded by journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan, who testified under oath that the mummified specimens are not part of “our terrestrial evolution”, with almost a third of their DNA remaining “unknown”, reported Mexican media.

This is a huge win for future hearings and movement for disclosure. P.S.They replicated some of the names (Moskowitz joked about this).

This presents a serious development and conflict that needs to be addressed.

I can't find it anymore. It claimed to be a serious place that collected and sorted all evidence related to UAPs.

It also recommended the book "In Plain Sight - an investigation into UFOs and impossible science". It was a BIG website and (I think) had on the left side of the page a list of all topics it had info on.

What was this site called?

"Many members of the mainstream scientific community react with extreme hostility when presented with certain claims. This can be seen in their emotional responses to current controversies such as UFO abductions, Cold Fusion, cryptozoology, and numerous others. The scientists react not with pragmatism and a wish to get to the bottom of things, but instead with the same tactics religious groups use to suppress heretics: hostile emotional attacks, circular reasoning, dehumanizing of the 'enemy', extreme close-mindedness, underhanded debating tactics, justifications, and all manner of name-calling and character assassination" - William J. Beaty

"Cut through the ridicule and search for factual information in most of the skeptical commentary and one is usually left with nothing. This is not surprising. After all, how can one rationally object to a call for scientific examination of evidence?" Bernhard Haisch, Ph.D.,

"Be Skeptical of the Skeptics" "Skeptics, who flatly deny the existence of any unexplained phenomenon in the name of 'rationalism,' are among the primary contributors to the rejection of science by the public. People are not stupid and they know very well when they have seen something out of the ordinary. When a so-called expert tells them the object must have been the moon or a mirage, he is really teaching the public that science is impotent or unwilling to pursue the study of the unknown." - Dr. Jacques Vallee, astrophysicist, computer scientist and world renowned researcher. He worked closely with Dr. J. Allen Hynek. Commenting on the need for science "to search beyond the superficial appearances of reality"

"Healthy scepticism is good, but this kind of scepticism is ridiculous. Non-awareness is NOT synonymous with non-existence, and disbelief in something does not in any way detract from its reality. No one can create a fact by making a statement, and no one can get rid of a fact by denying it." - Wilbert Smith

"To state there is no evidence suggestive of intelligent extraterrestrial life simply belies the facts. Decades in duration and global in nature, there are too many hard sensor data-points and millions of eyewitnesses to ignore. It is only through ignorance or pomposity that one can say no evidence exists" - John B. Alexander

"The progress of science depends on a finely tuned balance between open-mindedness and skepticism. Be too open minded, and you'll accept wrong claims. Be too skeptical, and you'll reject genuine new discoveries. Proper skepticism must be careful not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Unfortunately, much of what comes out of the "skeptical" community these days is not proper skepticism, but all-out, fundamentalist disbelief. Such skepticism can be called pseudo-skepticism, pathological skepticism or bogus skepticism." - Rochus Boerner
