US congress is planning to hold another round of public UFO hearings within a matter of weeks, according to a senior member of the Senate’s Armed Services Committee. 

The new hearings will take place to boost the credibility of the Pentagon’s division charged with dealing with unidentified flying objects, a senior lawmaker has said.

They follow more US military whistleblower claims about baffling airborne mysteries including a massive flying disc which was recently spotted above a missile base in Montana….and former-Pentagon official Luis Elizondo’s revelations that he personally handled an ‘alien’ implant removed from a veteran servicemember. 

The All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) was founded in July 2022, with the help of Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a New York Democrat. She told the Daily Mail on Monday that she’s working to schedule a hearing within weeks.

She said: “It’s a priority for me because I think it’s very important we continue to make things publicly available“.

RT reports: The Armed Services Committee intends to host “a progress report on how many unidentified aerial phenomena [UAP] we’ve assessed and analyzed, give examples of what we have identified and give examples of what we haven’t identified,” she told the outlet.

According to Gillibrand, the hearing should renew public trust in AARO, after a series of military whistleblower claims about the government covering up possible alien encounters.

We also want to try to continue to build credibility within this office [AARO] so more of the public can feed in sightings and have a place and a platform to send information and inquiries,” she added, “because that’s eventually what this office is supposed to do.”

The hearing announcement comes just two weeks after a video of a “huge UFO” with “tons of blinking and spinning lights” was posted on Reddit. The sighting was recorded in Choteau, Montana, less than 100 kilometers from the Malmstrom Air Force Base, a major nuclear missile facility.

“The photos aren’t scary, but seeing what you truly believe to be a massive object in the silent night sky going over YOUR head and home carries a lot more emotional weight in person,” said the anonymous witness.

When some users suggested the phenomenon may have been a constellation of Elon Musk’s Starlink communication satellites, the witness disagreed.

“I’m familiar with Starlink videos,” he wrote. “’While we were watching the object it was very apparent that the lights were around the silhouette of a large craft. You could not ‘see between the lights’, it was solid dark behind them. Our take is that we were seeing a disc shape from the side.”

The encounter happened around 10 pm local time on August 31, the man said, adding that his wife was “shaking and crying from the experience” afterwards.
