Independent UFO journalist Danny Silva watched last week's congressional hearing with a lot of interest. He says seeing lawmakers take UFOs seriously is changing public perception.
PUBLISHED 9:11 AM CDT Jul. 31, 2023That Wednesday Silva watched a live broadcast of a congressional hearing where three whistleblowers told Congress the U.S. government is hiding a multi-decade program that captures unidentified flying objects .
“UAP is a catch-all term describing an object detected in the air, sea and space defying easy explanation,” said Silva. titled “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Implications on National Security, Public Safety, and Government Transparency,” was hosted by the House Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs.
Silva’s interest in UFOs started in 2017 when Luis Elizondo, the former director of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program testified to Congress, and three Navy videos were leaked, including the infamous 2004 “Tic Tac” UFO video. “If you believe we have crashed craft, as stated earlier, do we have the bodies of the pilots who piloted this craft?” asked Mace.Silva said seeing lawmakers take UFOs seriously is changing public perception.
“What we believe is that there are unexplained aerial phenomena,” responded Kirby. “These phenomena have, in some cases, had an impact on our training ranges, on our pilot’s ability to fly, train, operate, and stay ready… it’s a national security issue worth looking at.”
