Key lawmaker warns at UFO hearing: 'Unidentified aerial phenomena are a potential national security threat'
By Clare Foran, CNN

Key lawmakers warned at a House hearing on Tuesday that unidentified aerial phenomena -- popularly known as UFOs -- must be investigated and taken seriously as a potential threat to national security.

The event marked the first congressional public hearing on UFOs in decades, a high-profile moment for a controversial topic that has long been relegated to the fringes of public policy.
For many lawmakers and intelligence and military personnel working on unexplained aerial phenomena, the bigger concern with the episodes is not that alien life is visiting Earth, but rather that a foreign adversary like Russia or China might be fielding some kind of next-generation technology in American airspace that the United States doesn't know about.
Democratic Rep. André Carson of Indiana, the chairman of the panel holding the hearing, warned in his opening remarks, "Unidentified Aerial Phenomena are a potential national security threat. And they need to be treated that way."

He went on to say, "For too long, the stigma associated with UAPs has gotten in the way of good intelligence analysis. Pilots avoided reporting, or were laughed at when they did. DOD officials relegated the issue to the back room, or swept it under the rug entirely, fearful of a skeptical national security community."

"Today, we know better. UAPs are unexplained, it's true. But they are real. They need to be investigated. And any threats they pose need to be mitigated," he said.

Funny to think. People want aliens to introduce themselves but we can't even get along with each other. Honestly, I don't blame them for keeping their distance.

Aliens be like, “Let’s mess with them. Turn on the exterior lights. It drives them crazy”.

Why the hell are they calling them drones while at the same time admitting they don’t know what they are.

[noahbrooks]

“That little dot right there”. Is this for real? That’s the most underwhelming “evidence” I’ve ever seen

[melvynmacdonald]

These sightings were happening well before the drones were invented.

[stargod]

How are you going to call them drones when you haven’t even identified what they are?

I was lured here by the implication that this video would contain flying objects in daylight, not a nondescript nocturnal light. Downvote.

I saw a UFO outside my window as I was star gazing through my telescope, all I could see was an octagonal shape with the top 1/4 of the object missing and it had a repeating white and dull grey pattern that went into the middle of the object. I to this day remember that night and feeling so confused about what I saw but have yet to find any similar stories or events online documented...

"it would also explain..." --- why this video ended abruptly.

[borntofly]

Everyone here is concerned about UFO’s, I’m concerned for that guy that said “25 miles, square, radius”

Satellites don't hover in one spot or fade in and out, or make right and left turns

Now they're calling UAP's "drones". Those aren't drones, honey. A drone wouldn't be carrying a super bright light. Drones run on batteries. People are so much in denial.

Caveman: Grug see light in sky, Grugg think no natural.
Cave Media: Grugg see nothing, probably birds on fire.

[DaveSwayer]

I honestly though I was going to see a clear object flying above those mountains like the thumbail, not a blurry light at night!

[CategoricalImperative]

Flying drones at night is against federal law

[Ultra-Collector]

It happened here six nights ago! They were silent as can be! Not drones!

[janetairlines]

*why are all ufos and bigfoots filmed with a potato?*

[arlarl]

Why even post any of the story if you’re going to cut it off in the middle?

[ytcommentsguy]

For once i can tell you that this is not a UFO.

[stephentresca]

I once saw a plane flying over head. I took out my camera and got perfectly a clear pictures of a plane.
