How best to restore public trust through transparency and whistleblower protection regarding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs)?

That was the core question seeking answers in a September 9 congressional House of Representatives hearing, held by the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets.

“This is about national security, government accountability, and the American people’s right to the truth,” said Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-Florida). The lawmaker is chair of that task force, swearing in witnesses that under oath discussed their experiences and knowledge about UAPs, a rebranded term, rightly or wrongly, attached to Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs).

I asked several experts from leading research groups on UAPs/UFOs concerning the hearing and their take-away messages.

NOTE: During the hearing new UFO/UAP video was shown. The footage was recorded off the coast of Yemen, reportedly by a military drone. What’s captured is a drone-fired Hellfire missile intercepting a purported UAP. The video stirred comments that no known craft of Earthly origin could take the impact and continue onward.  

Mick West, a long-time UAP video analyst has another take on what’s being shown in that video. For his interpretation, go to:
