UFO Hearings in Washington

The UFO hearings in Washington continue! Here is the latest joint subcommittee hearing on UFOs (also known as UAPs) held on Nov. 13, 2024.

I highly recommend watching the entire thing or jumping ahead for about an hour to get to the good stuff. But if you’re pressed for time, here is a quick recap by 8 News Now (KLAS) out of Las Vegas.

Congresswoman Nancy Mace: Are you read into secret UAP crash retrieval programs?

Luis Elizondo: Umm… we would have to have a conversation in a closed session, ma’am. I signed documentation three years ago that restricts my ability to discuss specifically crash retrievals. I submitted for my book through the DOPSR process, which took a year for it to be reviewed. And what is in the book is what I was told I’m allowed to talk about.

Mace: Has the government conducted secret UAP crash retrieval programs? Yes or no?

Elizondo: Yes.

Mace: Were they designed to identify and reverse engineer alien craft? Yes or no?

Elizondo: Yes.

Mace: Do any US contractors have the same?

Elizondo: Umm… I would prefer to address it in a closed session, ma’am.

Mace: In your book, you mentioned government employees who have been injured by UAPs, placed on leave, and receiving government compensation for their injuries. Is that correct?

Elizondo: That is correct.

Mace: How can the government deny we have recovered craft if they’re paying people if they’ve been injured by recovered craft?

Elizondo: Ma’am that’s a great question. That’s why I think we’re here again because I’ve seen the documentation by the US government for several of these individuals who sustained injuries as a result of a UAP incident.

Congressman Eric Burlison: It was previously testified that there was biologics that were collected. Are you aware of any of that?

Elizondo: I am, sir, aware of the reporting that biologics have been recovered. Again, my focus was more nuts and bolts, looking at the the physical aspects of these phenomenon. How they interacted around military equities and nuclear equities. So, I’m certainly not a medical expert. I would not be able to probably provide you a whole lot of value in that simply because I don’t have the expertise.

Burlison: Was anything described as that we have possession of bodies?

Elizondo: Yes, yes. We have…

Burlison: Is it multiple types of creatures or…

Elizondo: Sir, I couldn’t answer that. I can tell you anecdotally that it was… it was… discussed quite a bit when I was at the Pentagon. The problem is the collect… supposed collection of these biological samples occurred before my time, in fact, before I was even born.

Burlison: And was this part of the Lockheed Martin discussion or was this a complete… the biologics is a completely separate, umm…

Elizondo: Separate yet related.

Burlison: Okay umm… has anyone made contact?

Elizondo: Sir, I’m sorry could you specify?

Burlison: Has there been any, to your knowledge, any communication with a non-human life form?

Elizondo: So, the term communication is a bit of a trick word because there’s verbal communication like we’re having now. The problem is you also have non-verbal communication and so I would say definitively yes, but from a non-verbal meaning. When a Russian reconnaissance aircraft comes into US airspace, we scramble two F-22s and we are certainly communicating intent and capability. I think the same goes with this. We have these things that are being observed over controlled us airspace and they’re not really doing a good job hiding themselves. They’re making it pretty obvious they have the ability to even interfere with our our nuclear equities and our nuclear readiness.

Burlison: Is the United States government or and our contractors… are they pulling, you know, technology from this… they’re reverse engineering this?

Elizondo: Sir, as I previously stated, please forgive me, I am not authorized to discuss specifics about crash retrievals. Again, I signed documentation with the US government. Umm… what I can say was after (scoffs) a very thorough review process by the Pentagon, what I wrote about. And that was my limit, unfortunately, that I was given.

If you missed the first round of hearings that occurred in 2023, here is a link to those. There was different testimony at that one, but it was just as important.
