Jim Himes (D-CT) dismissed UAP transparency last week and claims there is “nothing there” in an [interview with journalist Matt Laslo](https://www.askapol.com/p/himes-dismisses-senate-uap-hearing-w-aaro). Rep. Himes stated that he was briefed by AARO and believes that “Senators need to get briefed and then move on”, adding that “there’s thousands of people out there who wake up in the morning desperate for there to be evidence of alien life, but there’s none.”

*”The United States government has gathered a great deal of information about UAPs over many decades but has refused to share it with the American people. That is wrong and additionally breeds mistrust.”*
*”We have also been notified by multiple credible sources that information on UAPs has also been withheld from Congress, which if true is a violation of laws requiring full notification to the legislative branch — especially as it relates to the four congressional leaders, the defense committees, and the intelligence committee.”*

I’m hoping that soon we all will publicly witness these people eat their words.
As it stands, like plenty here, I have spent years investing my personal time in learning about all of this. There is more than enough “there” there for anyone that has even half of a functioning brain.
I have seen a UFO myself in 2008 (possibly plasma, who knows) and that aside you just can’t ignore the genuinely staggering amount of claims across the globe, across all walks of life, across decades upon decades.
It’s obvious with the amount of reporting going on, and the deflecting and obfuscating that is occuring that a hive has been stirred and all resources are attempting to do damage control. No amount of dickheads like Hines are going to convince me otherwise.
