Rep. André Carson Calls for Public Hearing on UFOs

Article by Celine Castronuovo                                             July 4, 2021                                                                 (thehill.com)

• On July 4th, Rep. André Carson (D-Ind.) (pictured above), chairman of the House Intelligence Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence and Counterproliferation, was on the CBS news show “Face the Nation”. The discussion turned to the newly released unclassified government report on UFOs which Carson admitted was largely “inconclusive” on the origins of more than 140 unidentified flying objects that the US military has observed since 2004. (see 5 minute video below)

• Carson called on Congress to hold hearings on reported UFOs. “My hope … is that we will have a series of hearings and possibly a public hearing in the very near future,” Carson said, though he did not give a specific timeline. “What we do know is that … there have been nearly 150 (UFO) sightings. Eighty of those sightings have been detected with some of the best technology the world has ever seen.”

• The UAP Task Force report noted that many UFO sightings have occurred near US military assets, our naval bases, our military installations. One of the possible explanations for the still unidentified UFOs could be advanced technologies developed by U.S. adversaries such as China or Russia. “We don’t want our adversaries to have … a technological advance over us in terms of what they can do with their capabilities,” Carson said, warranting concern and the need for further investigation. But Carson added that sightings around US military bases may result from a ‘collection bias’ due to “focused attention, greater numbers of latest-generation sensors operating in those areas, unit expectations, and guidance to report anomalies.”

• Finally, Carson admitted that government officials “can’t rule out something that’s otherworldly” in a small percentage of cases. It would be “arrogant to say that there isn’t life out there,” said the Congressman. “If it is otherworldly, we have to take into account our advancements in terms of our cellphone technology and why aren’t these images being captured? We have to think about the nearly 4,000 satellites that are orbiting the Earth right now. Most of those satellites have cameras attached to them. Why hasn’t any of that information been released?”

[Editor’s Note]  Congressman André Carson claims not to know why there isn’t more information available on UFOs or if they even exist. Two possible explanations why Carson seems to be so out of touch with reality might be: 1) Carson knows full-well about the long-standing extraterrestrial presence around our world and our government’s ongoing interaction with a number of different ET beings since at least WWII, but he has been told to play dumb so as not to cause a public panic; or 2) Carson really is ignorant of the most important reality in human history due to a lack of any intellectual curiosity whatsoever.

 

Rep. André Carson (D-Ind.), chairman of the House Intelligence Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence and Counterproliferation, is calling on Congress to hold a “series of hearings” on reported UFOs following last month’s highly anticipated release of an intelligence report on the subject.

The congressman said in interview Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that because the newly unclassified report on UFOs, referred to by the Pentagon as “unidentified aerial phenomena” (UAP), was largely “inconclusive” on the origins of more than 140 objects, additional probes are needed.

“My hope … is that we will have a series of hearings and possibly a public hearing in the very near future,” Carson said, though he did not give a specific timeline.

“What we do know is that … there have been nearly 150 sightings,” he added. “Eighty of those sightings have been detected with some of the best technology the world has ever seen.”

While Carson said officials “can’t rule out something that’s otherworldly,” he added that was possible in only a “very small percentage” of cases.

Last month’s highly anticipated UAP report said that nearly all of the 144 such encounters documented by the U.S. government since 2004 remained a mystery, though the Office of Naval Intelligence’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force was able to confirm that one of the objects was a “large, deflating balloon.”

One of the possible explanations included in the report was that the UAP could be advanced technologies developed by U.S. adversaries such as China or Russia, potentially posing a national security threat.
