In a recent House Oversight Subcommittee hearing, former military officials reignited claims that the United States has secretly recovered alien technology, despite repeated denials from the Pentagon. Among the key witnesses was Luis “Lue” Elizondo, a former Defense Department intelligence officer, who testified about advanced unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) technologies allegedly monitored near sensitive military installations worldwide.
Elizondo, who previously led a covert UAP project, asserted that the U.S., along with other nations, possesses alien technology. He described an emerging “global alien tech arms race,” though his testimony was notably less dramatic than past statements. For instance, earlier claims about government programs designed to trap extraterrestrial crafts and a debunked “alien mothership” photo were absent from his latest remarks.
Another notable figure was retired Navy Admiral Tim Gallaudet, who now leads a firm specializing in underwater alien craft investigations. Gallaudet recounted witnessing an “unidentified object with unprecedented flight capabilities” nearly a decade ago and referenced the infamous “Go Fast” video — a declassified clip showing a UFO which mysteriously disappeared from his inbox shortly after he received it.
Balancing these extraordinary accounts was testimony from Michael Gold, a former NASA space policy executive. Gold emphasized the need for a scientific approach and cultural de-stigmatization to uncover the truth. “The truth is out there,” he stated, urging boldness in pursuing evidence about extraterrestrial life.
While the Pentagon has consistently refuted such allegations, these hearings highlight ongoing public and governmental intrigue surrounding UAP phenomena. The conflicting testimonies underscore the tension between sensational claims and calls for rational, evidence-based investigation. Whether these revelations will yield substantive findings remains to be seen, but the conversation around UAPs continues to captivate the public imagination.
