Congress Has UFO Hearing & Suddenly We’re Not the Crazy Ones

Congress had a UFO hearing, and suddenly, we’re not the crazy ones.

Light is being shed on the Pentagon’s secret alien crash retrieval program, which they long denied exists, contrary to statements made by former officials, whistleblowers, and declassified documents. A new UFO/UAP congressional hearing took place just in time for the end of 2024, presenting new evidence and raising further questions about the origin of this technology—and why the public has not been informed.

Meanwhile, officials from the Executive Office of the President at the White House in Washington, D.C. met with a group of scientists and former intelligence officials to advocate for a groundbreaking new initiative: Research and Innovation at the Scientific Edge (RISE). Its goal is to push the boundaries of scientific exploration to the “Edge of Science.” Hmm, weird they used Rise and “edge” in the same category. Maybe someone is watching Rise.TV!
