U.S. House Oversight Committee Session Wednesday Co-Led By Rep. Glenn Grothman

A series of sessions have been taking place on Capitol Hill after whistleblowers have come forward to talk about secret government programs involving UAPs.

Glenn Grothman Has Been "Interested In This Stuff Since Eighth Grade"

Grothman asked several questions to the witnesses that included a former Rear Admiral in The United States Navy, the former director of AATIP Lou Elizondo, Journalist Michael Shellenberger, and former NASA executive Mike Gold. He mentioned that he's been interested in this stuff since eighth grade.

Biggest Revelations In Wednesday's UAP Hearing

Rear Admiral Timothy Gallaudet was the Navy's top oceanographer and testified to Congress that the government erased e-mail files concerning UAPs that were spotted during a training exercise. He also recounted stories of sailors witnessing a large sphere-shaped UAP descending into the water, stories of submarines being chased by UAPs underwater, and fighter pilots seeing these objects in the sky.

Best-selling author, Lou Elizondo frankly told Congress that we are not alone in the cosmos.

Journalist Shellenberguer submitted a document that details a secret government program for retrieving crashed UAPs. Mike Gold claims NASA has piles of evidence of UAPs and should research it.
