(NewsNation) — When Congress returns to Washington, D.C., after the presidential election, lawmakers plan on taking on the bipartisan issue of UFOs.
There are many pressing matters on Congress’ plate, but one issue on the agenda is holding hearings on UFOs, or as the government prefers to call them, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs).
Both the House and Senate plan to hold UAP hearings, with the House hearing run by the House Oversight Committee, which also held a public UAP hearing last year.
Many of the same lawmakers will be involved in the upcoming hearing, which will be led by Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., and is tentatively set for Nov. 13.
Mace told NewsNation there are still some witnesses the committee wants to pin down, but the committee isn’t identifying them yet out of fear they could be intimidated out of testifying.
One piece of information that may be part of the upcoming hearing is independent journalist Michael Shellenberger’s reporting on a whistleblower who came forward to Congress and revealed what they say is the existence of an illegal and classified program known as “Immaculate Constellation.”
Shellenberger said the whistleblower claims the program is currently being run and is designed to reverse-engineer UAPs.
“Whether or not you think there are extraterrestrial or nonhuman intelligence, even if you think that all of this is just some sort of advanced craft, the allegation here by a new whistleblower, verified by other sources in a position to know, is that the Defense Department has kept secret this information from Congress, which is a violation of the Constitution,” he told NewsNation’s Ross Coulthart.
The Pentagon has denied the program exists and says they have no record of ever having any program with that name.
