In a strange congressional hearing, Navy official revealed UFO "sightings are frequent" in the U.S.
SalonCongress held a strained hearing Tuesday on UFOs, in which defense officials juggled a genuine attempt to provide adequate transparency while maintaining measured closure with regard to sensitive intelligence. Leaning into it, Moultrie seemed to don an everyman persona, speaking about his family's lines of questioning about aliens, adding that intelligence officials are "people just like you" curious about extraterrestrial life. "You need to show us, Congress and the American public, whose imaginations you have captured, you are willing to follow the facts where they lead," Carson said. Rep. Peter Welch on the other hand wondered how defense officials could investigate these reports considering "it's not at all beyond the pale that there would be a visit here."
