Inside 'Immaculate Constellation' and the Latest UFO Hearing

The most recent UAP Capitol Hill event happened earlier this week, on November 13, when a subcommittee of the House of Representatives Oversight Committee held a hearing titled “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth.” The subcommittee was chaired by Republican Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina. Among the other lawmakers present were Representatives Robert Garcia, Andy Biggs, Tim Burchett, and Anna Paulina Luna. The witnesses were Dr. Tim Gallaudet, a retired rear admiral who was the U.S. Navy’s chief meteorology officer, Luis Elizondo, who formerly headed the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program AKA AATIP, and has just released a book titled “Imminent, Inside the Pentagon’s Hunt for UFOs,” author Michael Shellenberger, and Michael Gold, a member of NASA’s UAP Independent Study Team.

The proceedings began with Chairwoman Mace daring the government to do something to her because she said the name of an unacknowledged special access program out loud. That program, known as "Immaculate Constellation," remains shrouded in mystery in spite of lawmaker demands that the Pentagon be more open about it.

So did this hearing provide any additional insights?

And as an audiobook here:

The government audited themselves and couldn't find anything.

As I said before on my fathers death bed he told me his squadron was sent to chase down 3 UFO’s in 1956, and took his aircraft to VNE speeds getting within 200 feet, at that time the 3 UFO’s made 90 degree turns one too the right on vertical, one left all at 900 knots and accelerating up to 5000+ knots to the max of their radars calibration also verified by ground radar. A book was written about the incident my father described them as silver tic tacs about 30 feet in length by 20 feet 10 feet thick. He got very good wing camera footage. He also said that other pilots told him many other encounters including astronauts, Alan Shepard, Jim Lovell and many other but these two were Navy buddies of my father..

I'm an airline pilot just finishing up a 40 year career with over 30, 000 hours. In that time I have seen two things in the sky (once with another veteran pilot) that I could not explain. I can't tell you what they were, but I can tell you what they weren't.

[Machlooper]

Former aircrew here. I experienced several sightings I cannot explain but two of which I can definitely say were nothing I’m aware of in any arsenal and out performed anything I know of. One object toyed with our aircraft over the North Atlantic in that we had it on (passive) radar and it intercepted us from our six and broke away several times while disappearing at the same time. We then actively painted the object by locking on upon which it turned 90° instantly at about 300kts before instantly accelerating to way above hypersonic in a couple of seconds and off our scope . Our scope radius was 100 miles so do the math . The second object I witnessed with my own eyes (as opposed to on sensors) was a Dodecahedron shape which was spinning and glistening in colours similar to that of the glass of a FLIR ball and couldn’t have been a ballon because it was flying at high speed against a strong headwind. A couple of points. If it’s ’enemy tech’ why haven’t they used it against us and dominated us and secondly, why have there been similar reports throughout history, not only from the 1940’s onwards but written by witnesses long before that.
Extremely interesting topic .

I grew up in Aviation, my father was a flight instructor since I was born in ‘69. We lived in the foothills of Western NC… and In the ‘70s we had no light pollution. We were out watching a meteor shower, and I was about 9 years old. We saw something Completely Stationary, making no sounds of any helicopter or aircraft. Standing there, watching this, I was amazed, it was a big bright orb changing all these beautiful colors. We watched this thing for 15 minutes… Until it disappeared. It was roughly a mile away and 1000 feet above the tree line. I’ll never forget it, and I’m 55 now. I worked for a government aerospace company starting in ‘96, helping develop systems on the F22 and F35 programs for over 22yrs, so I’ve been around R&D test labs. I’ve never heard of any explanation for what I saw. It was definitely something unexplainable.

"Self licking ice cream cone." THAT is a beautiful description of much of today's journalism.

[Guitfiddlejase]

I must say that when I saw the "Come at me bro" quote on your thumbnail, I didn't realize that she really said that.

[wildcatmahone-mdme]

While some UAP may be black tech NOW, you need to take a temporal perspective and accept these craft have been witnessed since the 1950's.

[ZedOhZed]

Ward, these sightings go way further back in time than just Nimitz and the other recent stuff. That kind of makes it difficult to defend the idea that these are a novel secret research program.

[lorig]

I was a Navy pilot for 14 years, including flying test sorties over Groom Lake, and never saw a UAP. Then decades later, living in northern Maine, my farm hand and I were throwing hay bales to the cattle along the back fence line in the dark when we saw and triangular, like the ones reported in Arizona. It was quiet, not a sound. It simply disappeared.

[TheFatGandalf]

Probably the single best coverage on the topic I’ve seen. Thank you for making this part of your channel and for presenting the facts in a simple, easy to understand way and for letting the viewer decide. Most in the MSM seem content to add a layer of confusion to the subject.

[dadstuff]

I think the stories from our Missile Launch Officers as well as their Soviet counterparts are the most credible out there...worth looking into...

[SRSR-pcti]

Nimitz encounter. 80k feet to sea level in around 1 second. Recorded by the most advanced sensors on the CSG on multiple occasions. Resulted in David Fravor and others being tasked to coordinates where they had visual contact. Are we saying this is human technology? Really?

[MasterSergeantofMarines]

This isn't the first time I've shared this, but when my father was a MADRAD for VP 48, during the Vietnam war around 69, or 70, one time when they were leaving Yankee Station, they had a fly by of 4 UFOs oval shaped flying in a lateral formation which approached the P3, overtook it in a matter of seconds and flew past so fast they were gone from radar in about the same amount of time that they had appeared, mere seconds. I don't know all the specs on the range a P3 radar can reach, but at altitude when they aren't skimming the ocean dropping listening for Soviet subs, their radar can probably extend quite a long distance. Anyway, the crew all agreed with the pilots not to file a report because of the adverse nature they reasonably thought it would have on their ratings and careers. Fun times.

BRAVO ZULU, Mooch. *Having watched and rewatched the entire session, your spot-on recap, along with your knowledgeable commentary, is as good as it gets on this matter.*

In 1979 I saw a huge sphere while driving next to Naval weapons storage facility in Seal Beach Ca. It was just hovering about 1500ft above the base and then 2 sakorsky helos from nearby Los Alamitos helicopter base went up to investigate the sphere and as they got closer it shot off to the left about a half mile away. Thee helos moved toward it again and as they got close it moved back to the right about a half mile in literally a blink of an eye. The helos continued in the direction of the sphere and as they got close it shot straight up and disappeared in a split second and gone. Many people in the neighborhood were standing out in their yards watching the whole encounter. I truly hope that technology was ours because the speed of this thing was unbelievable.

[NoHandleToSpeakOf]

China/russia version can be ruled out because if they possessed tech with such characteristics, they would militarized it, demonstrated it and established world domination long time ago.

[allanrose]

What Navy pilot Fraver described isn't possible under the current laws of physics and level of technology we are capable of. If the thing he described is ours then why the hell are we still flying around in jets? LOL

Hi, I've been a longtime viewer and really enjoy your show. Thank you for addressing this important topic!
