UFO hearings

Congress is to hold the first public hearing in decades into UFO sightings next week in a serious attempt by the US Government to establish the origins of the phenomena. Pentagon intelligence officials will be grilled on what they know. Last year, national intelligence director Avril Haines released a much-anticipated report which examined 144 instances of “unidentified aerial phenomena” since 2004, some reported by US military pilots, but could only explain one of them with confidence. The report did not rule out China or Russia having super-advanced technology, or extraterrestrial origins.
