If you consider what Bob Lasar said in 1988 which confirms what Betty and Barney experienced. That these Grey beings come from Zeta Reticuli.
What the Pentagon are talking about is the biggest load of BS coverup you may ever see.

More UFO hearings? Congressman weighs inPosted by Paul Scott Anderson and Deborah Byrd June 6, 2022
On May 17, 2022, for the first time in over 50 years, the U.S. Congress held a formal hearing on UFOs, which are now called UAP for “unidentified aerial phenomena” by the military. There were no big revelations. But the hearing did allow members of a new UAP task force, within the Pentagon, to speak formally with members of Congress. The task force revealed that – thanks in part to a concerted effort by the military to de-stigmatize reports of observations of UAP – the task force now has collected approximately 400 reports of UAP, mostly from Navy pilots, which remain unexplained. One of the congressional representatives asking questions during the hearing was Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), who serves on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, which organized the May hearing. Today (June 6, 2022) John Michael Godier, host of a well-established channel on YouTube called Event Horizon, released the video above, in which he interviews Krishnamoorthi about the hearing, and about what might follow.
If you watched the televised hearing in Congress in May – and/or are interested in the subject of UFOs (UAP) – this interview is fascinating. And Godier is a good interviewer, who asks some good questions.
Full disclosure: Event Horizon reached out to us Ross Campbell, producer of Event Horizon, reached out to EarthSky about writing an article to go along with this new video interview. We took on the task because the subject matter is so intriguing, and because, apparently, some individuals in the U.S. government – and some in the military – do consider military observations of UAP a serious issue. For some, it’s seen primarily as a national security issue, since UAP might be some form of weapon, developed without our knowledge by our adversaries. A possible case in point is that most of the 400 reports of UAP presented mentioned to Congress in May 2022 stem from observations made in recent years (although some do go back to at least 2004).
So Godier’s interview with Krishnamoorthi is interesting. As with the Congressional hearing itself, there weren’t any bombshells. But Krishnamoorthi does provide an insider’s view of the hearing. He helps explain why Congress is now interested in the subject of UAP, and speculates on what might happen next.
The following highlights – taken from the transcript of the Event Horizon interview with Krishnamoorthi – are somewhat out of order. But we urge you to listen to the full interview yourself, to hear the context around what we’ve quoted here. The transcript is also available as subtitles on the video. Also, in the interest of impartiality, the two authors of this post – Paul Scott Anderson and Deborah Byrd – provide a few personal opinions on some of the material presented below. Paul tends to have a more open mind on the question of UFOs/UAP than Deborah. Please take Paul and Deborah’s comments, too, with a grain of salt … UFO, or UAP, wreckage?
Godier’s interview with Krishnamoorthi starts with a long introduction mentioning other political figures who spoke publicly on the question of “UAP wreckage.” One was former U.S. senator from Arizona (also a presidential candidate) Barry Goldwater (1909-1998). The other was former U.S. senator from (also a Senate Majority Leader) Harry Reid (1939-2021). And indeed, for decades, many others have asked questions about wreckage or other recovered material supposedly being held by the government. The 1947 Roswell incident – which Wikipedia calls “the recovery of balloon debris,” while also mentioning “conspiracy theories that followed” – is the best-known case. But it’s just one of many. So, to many, one of Krishnamoorthi’s most interesting questions posited in the May 17 hearing regarded the existence (or not) of any such material. Krishnamoorthi asked during the May 17 hearing: How about wreckage? Have we come across any wreckage of any kind of object that has now been examined by you?
The answer, from Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence Scott Bray was: The UAP Task Force doesn’t have any wreckage that isn’t explainable, that isn’t consistent with being of terrestrial origin. Paul’s opinion: Scott Bray’s answer – that UAP Task Force doesn’t have any wreckage that isn’t explainable – sounds like a dodge. Why would the task force have wreckage? It’s been around only since August 14, 2020. And now, this task force is in the process of being replaced by the larger Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group (AOIMSG). The establishment of AOIMSG was announced by the Department of Defense (DoD) on November 23, 2021.
Harry Reid and Lockheed Martin Godier also asked Krishnamoorthi specifically about Harry Reid’s questions on the subject of UFO wreckage held by Lockheed Martin.
Godier: Now the late senator Harry Reid had said in the media mentioned that he’d always heard in Washington (and, of course, Washington is a place of rumors) that there were recovered materials. And, in this case, he said Lockheed Martin has [the wreckage] now. Um, have you heard anything about that? What prompted you to ask that question?
Krishnamoorthi: I think I was just asking that that question as a logical follow-up to what the witnesses had said previously about what they had seen. And I didn’t learn anything that day that would at least, at this point, substantiate what Harry Reid had said. But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t more information out there that that needs to be gleaned.
Deborah’s opinion: And it also doesn’t mean there is more information out there that needs to be gleaned, either. Maybe Harry Reid was denied access to the wreckage, for example, because there is no wreckage. This is the part of UFO/UAP discussions that bugs me the most. In my 46 years as a science journalist, there’ve been rumors of wreckage. There’ve been unexplained sightings. There’ve been unsubstantiated testimonies about actual UFO experiences. But why hasn’t there been some substantiation? Why, especially now, when we’re all walking around with cameras and video recorders in our hands? I want to see artifacts! If artifacts do indeed exist. Otherwise, for the present moment at least, I abide by Fermi’s Paradox regarding UFOs. It’s said that, while walking to lunch, the famous physicist Enrico Fermi and fellow physicists were discussing UFO reports and the possibility of faster-than-light travel. Fermi famously said, “But where is everybody?” Where indeed?
Unsatisfactory answers Some congressional representatives have said they were unsatisfied with the answers they received in the May hearing. Krishnamoorthi echoes that sentiment.
Godier: But I want to ask you one, when you walked out of that hearing were you satisfied with what they told you?
Krishnamoorthi: Well, that one hearing was an open hearing and so when I walked out I still had a number of questions that were outstanding. And some of them, they asked that I wait until the closed-door session, the classified briefing [which followed the public hearing, on the same day]. So, um, [following the public hearing] I guess I was in suspense.
Godier: Now have the classified briefings happened, the closed session?
Krishnamoorthi: Yes, they happened that same day, later on in the day.
Godier: Anything you can tell us about that? I mean, it was it interesting or more interesting than the open briefing?
Krishnamoorthi: It was fascinating. I have to say, I have not been to hearings like that in my six years in Congress. And, arguably, there haven’t been hearings like that for 50 years. So it was really an incredible set of hearings.
Deborah’s opinion: “It was really an incredible set of hearings” doesn’t tell us much. Okay, it was a closed-door session. But again … where’s the beef? More UFO hearings in the near future?
One of the key questions right now is whether there will be more Congressional hearings on the subject of UAPs going forward. Multiple sources have reportedly said that there will be. Rumor suggests they even include the Senate at some point. What did Krishnamoorthi say?
Godier: Now, the possibility of further hearings. I mean is this going to be an ongoing thing or was that it?
Krishnamoorthi: I hope they will be ongoing because the office that was represented at those hearings was recently stood up. And so they still have a lot of work to do and I think that, you know, given our oversight duties, it’ll be appropriate for them to come in and update us and we certainly will have ongoing questions.
Government transparency and UFO hearings
Godier also asked Krishnamoorthi about possible government transparency regarding UAP.
Godier: And now what about transparency when they do their investigations from here on out as they planned? I mean there’s a lot that they can’t tell us because of obvious national security concerns [Deborah: Or because there’s nothing else to tell.] But do you think that the Pentagon is set to be semi-open about this with the public?
Krishnamoorthi: I think so. I think there’s been a real shift in their thinking about these issues. You know, maybe previously there was a stigma attached with information on sightings of UAP or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. And now I think there’s more of an openness. And I think that, ah, part of the thinking now is the more open that they are about these issues. The more cooperation they can get from other governmental bodies and even non-governmental bodies that might, or even individual citizens who might be citing these UAP and they want to learn more about them. So it’s good to be transparent.
UFO hearing on May 17, 2022. Branches of government and FAA
Krishnamoorthi continued: Krishnamoorthi: One of the things that was interesting about the hearing was this particular agency doesn’t necessarily have visibility into all branches of the government. And their own experiences with UAP, this is primarily an agency that’s stood up by the Air Force. And you know they really focus on it, seems to me. You know what? Pilots, whether they’re in the Air Force or the Navy, have [reported sightings], especially in training areas.
They’re starting to have more interaction with airports and the FAA. But there’s so much more to it as you can imagine. There’s so much more possibilities in terms of what other branches of government and others have seen, so we really need to have greater visibility. We need them to have greater visibility into the rest of government and of course more communication with others, too.
Congressional support, funding
How much support is there in Congress for studying the UAP issue?
Godier: And now about funding. Do you think there is widespread support in the House among your colleagues to fund this investigation and clearinghouse?
Krishnamoorthi: I think so, I think there’s a very real concern about these aerial phenomena actually being perhaps the latest technology that some of our adversaries, whether it’s the Chinese communist party or the Russians, or a non-state actor might possess that we just simply have not seen before. And I think it reflects maybe a newfound humility that perhaps some of our adversaries are advancing faster than we thought with regard to different technologies. And so, for that reason alone, I think there’s bipartisan support for this type of funding.
UFO hearings in Brazil
The United States is not the only country whose chief legislative body has opened its doors and perhaps its collective mind to the subjects of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. The Brazilian Senate will hold its own special session regarding UAP on or around June 22, 2022. The Senate Requirement states, in part (translated):
A governmental opening is sought so that the truth discovered by these nations and their research bodies is revealed. Brazil emerges in this scenario as the first nation to officially admit that UFOs actually exist. This occurred in a meeting open to society, military and press held at the Escola Superior de Guerra (ESG), in Rio de Janeiro, in 1954, when the then captain of the Air Force João Adil de Oliveira declared to those present the reality of these flying objects and their advanced technological characteristics. As with the U.S., we will need to wait to see if there are further hearings as well.
Paul’s final thoughts: My thoughts about the hearing(s) are based on other surrounding information such as statements from various senators (both Democratic and Republican), Navy, DoD, documents and emails released through the Freedom of Information Act, etc. Sometimes there is hard data, and sometimes it’s more opinion. Some senators have said they have seen better videos and data than what the public has seen, for example. Even Bill Nelson has said that to some degree. But it’s always in classified briefings. There are efforts to get more of that classified information into the hands of scientists, but it’s not easy. The testimony of all of these people is compelling, to me. My current consensus is that, as most others say, that 90-95% or more of UAP cases (in general) are misidentifications, hoaxes, etc. But there are also some solid cases that haven’t been explained yet. Many of those are from military and commercial pilots, which suggests they deserve to be investigated.
Videos and transcripts
Watch the Event Horizon interview with congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi on the Event Horizon channel on YouTube.
Watch the Congressional UAP hearing (the public one) on the House Intelligence channel on YouTube.
Read the entire transcript of the May 17 UFO hearing at The Debrief.
Additional documents from the May UFO hearing are on the Congress.gov website.
Bottom line: In a new interview with Event Horizon, congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi talks about the historic May 17 UFO hearing and the prospects for more UFO hearings.

If you consider what Bob Lasar said in 1988 which confirms what Betty and Barney experienced. That these Grey beings come from Zeta Reticuli. What the Pentagon are talking about is the biggest load of BS coverup you may ever see. The Government and Intelligence community don't want to acknowledge the truth about out visitors to us, Civilians,they want to monopolize any forms of contact ; cultural exchange,Diplomatic exchange and especially technological exchange. Our planets elite are too busy creating wars, divisions, racism, sexism, political chaos and wealth inequality to the vast majority of Humans on the planet. Our visitors see it and won't open any form of exchange or diplomacy. They see monsters like Putin / Trump and how Corporate Totalitarianism is now physically, intellectually, financially, and spiritually encarcerating fellow Humans for the gain of the few. The way our Earthly Oligarchs has mismanaged the affair of Humanity and poisoned the Planet .... they want nothing good for Humans. If Aliens landed and forced change in a a peaceful way. And they had our Planets Oligarchs have a debate with ... say a Tibetan Monk and a rational homeless man . I bet the Tibetan Monk and the Rational Homeless Man, would have a better suggestions than the Oligarchs, for a Just, Rational and fair World .

Classified UFO videos would 'harm national security' if released, Navy says
By Brandon Specktor published Sept. 7, 2022
The Navy admitted it has a lot more footage of UFOs — but won't share them anytime soon.
The U.S. Navy holds unseen videos of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) — or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP), as the Department of Defense (DOD) prefers to call them — but will not release the footage publicly because it would "harm national security," a Navy spokesperson wrote Wednesday (Sept. 7).The admission came in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by the government transparency site The Black Vault, which has previously shared thousands of pages of UFO-related documents received via FOIA requests to the CIA and other government agencies. The Black Vault filed the FOIA request to the U.S. Navy in April 2020 — just one day after the Navy declassified three now-infamous videos shot by Navy pilots showing high-tech aircraft moving in seemingly impossible ways. The Black Vault requested that the Navy now turn over any and all other videos related to UAP.
More than two years later, the government responded with a letter that both confirmed that more UAP videos exist and denied the request to turn them over due to national security concerns.Interestingly, in its response to The Black Vault's request, the Navy did not make any attempts to conceal the existence of additional UAP videos. There are clearly more videos of inexplicable UFO encounters in the Navy's archives, but how many and what they depict will have to remain a mystery for now.It's clear, however, that the U.S. military takes the potential threat of UAP very seriously. In May 2022, the DOD held its first public hearing on UFOs since the 1960s. The hearing primarily discussed a June 2021 Pentagon report that revealed U.S. Navy pilots had reported 144 UAP sightings since 2004. More recently, the DOD announced that it will receive federal funding to open a new office focused exclusively on managing reports of UFO sightings by the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force.

The Pentagon’s Highest Ranking UFO Hunter Steps Out Of The Shadows To Highlight His Work On The UFO TopicWritten by Christopher Sharp / twitter.com/ChrisUKSharp 7 February 2023
The creator and former Director of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF), Jay Stratton, has given his first-ever public interview with journalists George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell, featured in episode three of the WEAPONIZED podcast.
Stratton is the only person from the U.S. federal government to have worked on all of the modern Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) programs and is the most senior figure directly involved to have spoken out, having held a rank comparable to a two-star Admiral.
Speaking to Knapp on his approach to the UAPTF, Stratton spoke about the importance of trust:
“We’re already 70 years behind the power curve for trust, right? Because everybody says the government's lying to us and that the whole Blue Book thing and the whole Roswell thing killed trust.”
Regarding his investigation approach, Stratton later added:
“I kept an open mind, a skeptic mind, whatever you want to call it, looking for something that can answer this in all the means that I had to chase that.
“But there were definitely some times where we really couldn't close the loop. And we realized that something needed to be done about it.”
Stratton’s story, which led to the eventual formation of the UAPTF, started in 2017.
Following his involvement with the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP) and the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), Stratton told Knapp that he had no intention of returning to the UAP topic again.
That was until the New York Times broke its story about the Pentagon’s secretive UAP investigation following Lue Elizondo's resignation from the DoD.
After the New York Times broke the story which included accounts from the USS Nimitz TicTac UAP incident from 2004, Congress’s interest was sparked and Stratton was asked by his boss at the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) to tackle the topic and lead engagement efforts with Congressional committees.
An entity which would later become the UAPTF was subsequently formed by Stratton in 2018 - two years before the Department of Defense (DoD) formally established it in August 2020.
Jay Stratton was seen as the best person to work on the topic by ONI due to his previous experiences with other UAP programs and his background in identifying the capabilities of other nations’ military systems and validating potential threats.
In January 2021, when that year’s U.S. National Defense Authorization Act became law, the UAPTF was given the daunting task of creating a report for Congress in six months.
With a monumental effort needed with few resources available, the Task Force became further handicapped when Stratton was reassigned to other duties. That left the job of creating the report to two other members of the UAPTF, despite them both having other full-time jobs.
Some have speculated that Stratton’s reassignment was an attempt to sabotage the work and pending report. However, the two remaining members were committed to transparency with the American public on the UAP topic. They pulled together a massive briefing presentation Stratton had created and used it as the basis for the report eventually delivered to Congress.
Providing some context on Stratton’s importance to the UAP topic up to this day, George Knapp told Liberation Times:
"Jay Stratton was the U.S. government's top UFO hunter.
“He conducted the first in-depth investigation of the Tic Tac case, and is the only person in the entire government to work on all of the major UFO probes, including the DIA's ambitious program (AAWSAP), its successor (AATIP), and then the UAP Task Force which he created, organized, and directed before it was formally authorized by Congress.
“The classified briefing he wrote, narrated, and presented to key audiences is a primary reason why the newest program AARO was created.
“And unlike many of his former colleagues at DoD, Stratton believes the public has a right to know what's going on rather than the obfuscation, stonewalling, misleading statements, and strategic leaks to debunkers, all of which continue to muddy the UAP waters."
Journalist, George Knapp
Liberation Times has confirmed with Jeremy Corbell that some of his photographic and video releases were also contained within the audio and visual report generated by Stratton and UAPTF, including the ‘Mosul Orb’. However, Corbell was keen to stress that none of the materials or information ever provided to him originated from Stratton or UAPTF in any way.
Jeremy Corbell, commenting to Liberation Times spoke about the significance of Stratton’s first public outing following the formation of the new UAP office, known as the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office or AARO:
“The importance of somebody like Jay Stratton coming forward for the first time - in both name and face - is that it’s a key milestone for the UAP topic and our U.S. Government earning back the trust of the American people who have been lied to for generations about the nature of the UFO reality. Stratton’s decision to come forward will assuredly inspire and motivate, not only our service members but our government representatives who have been lied to and intentionally misled by factions within our own intelligence agencies and government.
“Those who are currently apprehensive due to the destructive stigma surrounding the UAP reality - who hold valid fear of illegal reprisal and coercion from authority - will be emboldened to come forward with the information that they have on the UFO coverup.
“Most importantly, Jay Stratton coming forward should directly inspire and motivate action by DoD’s AARO to follow in the footprints formed by the steps and in the direction created and envisioned by Jay Stratton.
“Full and total transparency on the UAP topic by the United States government to the American people - who they are elected to represent. Nothing less will be accepted by the American public.”
Journalist, Jeremy Corbell
Later in his interview with Knapp, Stratton commented on the need to effectively and accurately communicate efforts led by the UAPTF:
“[We] wanted the task force to have its own spokesperson so that we're briefing as much as we can of what we're dealing with. But you get this whole machine.
“And no matter how hard you try, email is not the best communication method, right? And hardly anybody picks up the phone these days. So what would happen to me is I would see a response from the DoD spokesperson, and I would say, oh my gosh, like why did we say that, right?
“And you come back and you try to clean up but there's no cleaning up at that point. So it was all that circular, and then you had agendas. Right? You still had, I think you're probably aware of Lue [Elizondo’s] previous [situation], you know, you had that happening.”
Previously, the Pentagon’s public affairs office has commented that former AATIP Director Lue Elizondo had no assigned responsibilities with the program.
Liberation Times has previously asked the Pentagon’s Public Affairs Office whether Lue Elizondo had any assigned or unassigned responsibilities with AATIP - a question that no spokesperson has publicly answered to date.
Other revelations from Stratton included one event where an unnamed official told him not to get involved in the UAP topic due to religious concerns:
“There's absolutely some concern there. And I did see it in writing one time in my career, where someone was asking me to push back because [of] their religious concerns, and ‘you should wave-off of this topic’ is literally what they're telling me. You know, [telling me] you shouldn't be involved in this.”
The interview, which was presented by Corbell and Knapp throughout the show forms only one small part of a larger in-depth filmed interview that they did with Stratton, with further clips expected to be released in the coming weeks and months.
Stratton currently works with Radiance Technologies, where he is leading, directing, assisting, and developing efforts in existing contracts and the creation of new areas of business related to Scientific and Technical Intelligence with a focus on reverse engineering.
