Oversight Task Force Hearing: Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection

In recent months, Congress has also been presented with evidence that points to technologies that to our knowledge, are beyond our current capabilities.

It is our duty as elected representatives to follow the facts, wherever they lead, and to ensure those facts are not buried under classification stamps or bureaucratic excuses.

Let me be clear: whether UAPs represent adversarial technology, natural phenomena, or something beyond current human understanding, Congress has a responsibility to investigate.

If these objects are foreign in origin, they pose a direct threat to our national security.

If they represent something unknown, they demand rigorous scientific inquiry - not ridicule, not secrecy, and not silence.

Adversarial nations are not waiting for us to catch up - they are studying these phenomena aggressively as well and multiple nations have also announced their own parliamentary investigation into this topic.

If we continue to hide information from ourselves, we risk strategic surprises.

And if we continue to shield the truth from the public, we risk eroding the very foundation of democratic accountability.

That is why this hearing matters.

The witnesses today are not alone, far from it.

In fact, 34 senior military, government, and intelligence officials have broken their silence.

This includes Secretary of State Rubio, Senator Rounds, Senator Gillibrand, General Jim Clapper, the former director of the Government's UAP task force, the former head of aviation security for the White House national security council, a former secretary of defense, and many more.

To quote Secretary of State Rubio in the upcoming documentary known as the "Age of Disclosure": "even presidents have been operating on a need-to-know basis but that begins to spin out of control."

And to quote Senator Gillibrand, who also went public in this documentary: "it's not acceptable to have secret parts of this government that no one ever sees."

It is time for the fundamental truths of UAP to be revealed to our nation's leaders and the public.

So this is now the the second or third committee, where we have former military folks with impeccable records, with information and knowledge.

And it's definitely clear on a bipartisan basis that we have to protect our whistleblowers - there's no doubt.

And in a day in which it's really hard to tell what's true or not from a political standpoint.

And so I don't really know what is true - I don't know on this subject, but I do know when we're being lied to - and we are definitely being lied to.

There's just no doubt about that.

When we watch it [the 2023 USS Jackson UAPs Video], obviously, right, we've never seen anything like that.

It defies what we know to be technologically possible.

What are we supposed to think? Someone's lying about something! Someone's hiding something!

That's not normal what you looked at.

So let's eliminate possibility.

So they didn't come to you and say there was a technological error with what you were looking at - so we that we put that aside, right, they didn't say it was broken.

So we look at that and we see something.

So it's either a weapons program being reverse engineered by our governments or other governments, or it's nobody's government - and it's not from here. Those those are it.

... we have a government that is blocking - actively blocking - information from us.

Just last night, I tried to get an amendment onto the National Defense Authorization Act that fit in the germaneness of that bill to have UAP Disclosure and conveniently, it was named non-germane, mostly deemed by staff - not even an elected official.

This is the kind of stuff that we repeatedly see.

Last year we were blocked by someone in House Administration from being able to receive a full briefing from AARO - so not an elected official, but someone in staff blocked us and I've had it - enough is enough.

October 30th of 2024

This video is of an MQ-9 Drone tracking an orb or this object off the coast of Yemen.

You'll see that another MQ-9 launched a Hellfire missile - that you cannot see that drone.

... growing up, I really never believed in ufos or any of this stuff - I always thought it was a little kooky and whatnot

... after hearing, you know, your testimony from honorable service members ... I got to admit, I've become a believer.

Today's testimony should alarm every American, no matter their views on UAPs.

This isn't simply about UAPs - it's about government integrity, responsible use of taxpayer funds, and Congress's constitutional duty to oversee the Executive Branch for evidence of critical information hidden in Special Access Programs - off limits to virtually every elected representative - and certainly to the public.

Credible witnesses report retaliation for speaking out.

These are clear attempts to silence those who are exposing the truth.

We must protect the whistleblowers and the decades of government disinformation have eviscerated public trust.

So this isn't a partizan matter - it's a Constitutional matter.

It doesn't matter which administration, which party - both parties have got to come clean, particularly on this.

So if the government thinks it can hide the truth and punish those who speak out, Congress has to keep pushing until the facts, whatever they are, wherever they lead, come to light.

I see a white light pop up and stop about 100ft in the air.

I thought it was a weather balloon - I've seen tests from there before - a weeknight, you know, normal thing, not surprising.

As I began walking towards the light, towards the flight line in the track, the light then flies across the base, across the flight line, and as it flies to me, a triangle manifests around the light.

I can't tell you if it appeared around the light, but I can tell you that it was a white light and then it was a triangle.

It stopped about 100ft in front of me and approximately 100ft above me.

I remember how thick it was - it was between 1 to 2 stories thick - equilateral triangle.

I could never see the top of it, and the edges were 90 degrees, 90 degrees.

There were four lights in total, one light on each corner and a larger light in the center, 2 to 3 times the size of the corner lights.

My telephone got extremely hot, completely froze dead.

What was really odd was the outside - the best way to describe it is like looking at a James Webb Telescope picture, where you have the colors and then the black background.

So the craft itself was this black metallic flake paint, but on top of the craft was this gold lava plasma, some type of fluid going over and around the craft.

I'm under this for about 2 to 3 minutes, and then the center light flashes 2 to 3 times.

No sound. Immediately shoots up to commercial jet level minimum, in my opinion.

I immediately feel static electricity all over my body, and then I smell the smell of after a thunderstorm or lightning storm - that really strong summer thunderstorm smell.

If I didn't actually see it take off, I would have thought it was a star.

It hovers up there and it begins to slowly move due east out over the Atlantic Ocean.

I finally got my phone reset.

The entire thing was about, from the time I saw the light pop up near the hangar, until it took off out over the ocean, was about 15 minutes.

The problem with this is, is that I know what I experienced firsthand and I know other things.

I think the staff at arrow that I met with in March of 2023, I think they were good people doing the job they were told to do.

I did not meet with Kirkpatrick.

However, they did classify information about the reality of this subject.

It was very concerning because in my AARO MFR, they had actually referenced a former staff member - that was the one who told me to go there, and they probably shouldn't have done that.

Everything that I was told and taught as a kid and a growing adult no longer... was applicable

if I'm able to see something that I thought defies gravity in such a way, then what else could be possible?

I've had no pushback at all.

I haven't had anyone reach out to me or try to, you know, dissuade me in either direction, uh, militarily speaking.

So I was treated fair, and I appreciate the Navy itself with, uh, assisting me with coming here to being able to testify.

I think what the American people should think, when seeing that video, uh, along with others before me, is that, uh, there is something out there, and we should know as the people what it is.

We don't know what we saw.

What we saw changed our lives and the way we think about everything.

It was incredibly profound.

The object I saw, I don't even know if it was an object. It was a light, it was an orb, it didn't look like a craft, but it did look solid.

We noticed the object - and this was a pattern across all the encounters - someone would see a light, they would pay attention to the light.

And then the object responds - it performs for you, and then it/they come down and they investigate you.

So it's almost like they're curious.

Why did it come, after we noticed it?

Maybe it noticed us after we noticed it.

Knowing what I know now, um, I'll have to answer that question in a SCIF, probably.

I know enough to know that if you want an answer to that question, go to AARO - they have the answer.

Do you think it was a foreign government?

I do not, no.

I did something kind of dumb.

I met with these officials who, you know, during that time period... the Russians were trying to open up to the world - and I saw it as a window of opportunity.

We were able to talk these folks into providing us information... some of that was classified.

We found out that there they only stamped the top pages of these documents that were classified - so I just removed them.

I removed those pages, and I, I carried them out.

And if they'd caught me, I'd be in a Gulag still.

If this has happened five years earlier, we would be in prison.

If it had happened ten years earlier, we would have been shot.

None of those people that we talked to on that trip in 1993 would ever talk to me again.

I went back in 1996 and it was like I had the plague.

I spoke to different people, but they were scared.

There was an incident in October of 1982 over an ICBM base where UFOs popped up - was observed over this base where the missiles are pointed at us (United States).

These UFOs perform incredible maneuvers: they split apart, they fuse back together, they appear and disappear.

Right at the end of this four hour period, the launch control codes for the ICBMs lit up.

Something entered the correct codes, the missiles were fired up and ready to launch, and they could not shut it down - the Russian officers were panicking.

They disappeared, the launch control system goes back to normal.

Colonel Sokolov and his team came in, took the thing apart, could not figure out what it was.

It wasn't a power surge or EMPs or some of the baloney excuses that our country has given for similar events involving our nuclear missiles.

They thought it was a message from wherever the UFOs were from.

We were a couple of seconds away from World War Three starting, and the UFOs were responsible for it.

Lockheed would be one.

There's a list I can give you, Congressman - some of the big ones, the usual suspects.

Chief Wiggins, based on your training and operational experience, could the behavior that you witnessed - a transmedium object vanishing without a sound - be explained by any known technology that we possess or other governments possess?

It cannot, no.

Has our the Air Force or the FBI ever followed up with you personally about the Red Square Event?

Nothing with the Air Force

The AARO Office updated me, I think at least two times.

They let me know that they were unable to locate any records - that the records had been destroyed by the Air Force.

I have a Freedom of Information Act from the Air Force that states clearly that they destroy all police records on a three year schedule.

I think our federal government has a history of destroying records.

Some of the launches we were doing were like $5 billion projects that had taken like ten years to develop the technology.

These objects were coming right up to the launch pad.

So any kind of mistake, I mean, it could cause a catastrophe.

So it's very confusing why these objects would be operating in and around our bases or during training exercises.

Are any of you willing to name specific gatekeepers within the root cell of the UAP / SAP federation?

Doctor James Ryder - at Lockheed.

Glenn Gaffney - CIA.

So the encounter itself - from the time I recognized on my radar to the time after the video ends - was probably about 5 to 7 minutes.

I then realized this is something I've never seen before.

... just going from the horizon to about maybe three 4000ft in the air, was very slow, slowly rising, and then it sped up - I'm not an expert at, you know, knowing specific speeds of aircraft just by visual eye, but I would say probably one two Mach instantly into the rest of the formation.

I didn't notice visually with my own eyes, the other three objects, until I went back to my radar and also utilized Sapphire to see that, in fact, there were four total, and then again, when they all left after a certain amount of time, it was nearly instantaneous.

There are many, many, accounts of incursions of this type taking place.

I believe, in the '60s, we had a similar incursion in New England, and, the same thing happened.

There were these objects coming over the base at low altitude - 200ft over the base security police, and they were scrambling fighters, and then the objects would just fly off, and that went on for weeks.

So the historical record has laid out that there's a pattern, that our installations are visited by these craft.

You know, they come in and do whatever they're doing, and then they leave and we don't know how to respond.

We don't know how to protect the installation.

These are people I've worked with for years, deployed with, um, you know, I was in some of the weddings.

These are people that I worked with every day of my life.

Usually when the events were occurring, we were all together, you know, there'd be 40, 60, 100 people on duty during these encounters.

These encounters were playing out while we were on duty, and and we were responding and investigating in real time as they occurred.

We had 500 Air Force Police Officers guarding the launch - 500 people - it was that critical - but had this thing showed up, we wouldn't have been able to do anything to prevent it showing up.

The two square objects were, at least as large as a football field.

The second encounter, they think it was much larger than a football field - we're talking like build flying buildings - the object i saw was about 30ft in diameter.
