Showing Original Post only (View all)Office To Investigate UFOs Pushed In Bipartisan Proposal, 'This Is Urgent' [View all]
https://kfiam640.iheart.com/content/2021-11-18-office-to-investigate-ufos-pushed-in-bipartisan-proposal-this-is-urgent/'The amendment expands beyond a previous change made to the House version of the bill, as well as other previous public efforts to study UAPs and UFOs.
Gillibrand, who serves on the Armed Services and Intelligence committees, said she was urged to introduce the amendment due to repeated reports over the last two or three years of these increased sightings by Navy pilots and Air Force pilots" and believes possible explanations on the sightings are so varied, which calls for a dedicated effort.
You have a million questions that must be answered for a million reasons, she said, citing the entire spectrum of unidentified aerial phenomena.
You're talking about drone technology, you're talking about balloon technology, you're talking about other aerial phenomena, and then you're talking about the unknown, she said. Regardless of where you fall on the question of the unknown, you have to answer the rest of the questions. Thats why this is urgent. Thats why having no oversight or accountability up until now to me is unacceptable. '
