The bipartisan group of representatives pushing for public information on unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) is having difficulty continuing their effort after a blockbuster committee hearing last month.

The Hill hosted an event Thursday, The Truth Is Out There: UFOs & National Security, which was moderated by congressional reporter Mychael Schnell and featured three of the four members of Congress who have pushed for UAP transparency.


"I hear from people more on this subject than anything else," Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) said. "Not the Trump indictments, not Hunter Biden. They are talking about the UAP hearing because there's great interest in this government transparency issue."

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn) said the group — comprising Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla), Moskowitz and himself — will likely not get another opportunity for a hearing unless Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) designates a select committee on UAPs as they have requested.

Comment: Graves has started sharing video, photos, and accounts from commercial pilots on his Twitter page. Here is the first:

Comment: This interview was published over a month ago. What follows is a translation produced by DeepL, as it is not available in English.


Slowly the realization is dawning that we are not alone in the immense universe. In the U.S. in particular, that discussion has taken off after several presidents set up committees that are seriously working on uaps (unidentified aerial phenomenon). New Revu spoke with UFO whistleblower David Grusch, who reveals the existence and possession of UFOs and bodies of non-terrestrial pilots.

Before we go to the interview with David Grusch, let's take a brief history: for two years now I have been covering everything about UFOs/uaps for New Revu. Two weeks ago, both I and two more Dutch journalists received the suspected evidence of extraterrestrial existence from my source who wishes to remain anonymous for now. We were shown a preview of the interview in which CIA whistleblower David Grusch steps out of the shadow of his secrecy within the uap task force and reveals that the Americans appear to have been in possession of UFOs/uaps for decades.

We were also presented with documents endorsing these claims by Grusch. These UFOs, according to Grusch, have either been crashed and salvaged by secret services over the past 90 years or unearthed as if they were an archaeological find. Since then, according to insiders of this renowned whistleblower, very select organizations have been trying to figure out how the crashed, presumably non-terrestrial devices work. According to these insiders, the technology used is light years ahead of our technology, which would explain the great importance of the decades of secrecy and cover-ups by the U.S. government and others.

A report published Wednesday revealed what investigators and prosecutors found while hunting for a green alien who was reportedly attacking members of the Loreto community in Peru.

Villagers from the Ikitu tribe, who live in the Alto Nanay district of Peru, begged the military and government officials for help in August. They claimed a seven-foot tall green alien was hunting and attacking members of their community. The "aliens" were masked and caught on video chasing children and others around the area, according to La República.


The prosecutor investigating the case, Carlos Castro Quintanilla, has reportedly indicated the "aliens" are actually illegal miners from Brazil and Colombia, the outlet stated. The miners were reportedly brought to the area by organized crime syndicates to help with the illegal extraction of gold.

NASA's approach to UFOs appears remarkably unscientific

In 2021, NASA administrator Bill Nelson suggested that mysterious objects encountered by military aviators in recent years may have extraterrestrial origins.

A few years earlier, then-Senator Nelson (D-Fla.) received classified briefings from fighter pilots who had observed mysterious objects exhibiting extraordinary flight characteristics. According to Nelson, "the hair stood up on the back of my neck" while reviewing a classified report on UFOs.

Nelson's briefings on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) undoubtedly influenced NASA's decision to establish a 16-member UAP Study Team, consisting largely of outside academics, to "lay the groundwork for future study on the nature of UAPs."

But from what can be gleaned publicly, the NASA panel appears to be taking a remarkably unscientific approach to the UFO phenomenon.

In May, NASA's UAP study team held its first public meeting. According to Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, the director of the Pentagon's UFO office and a speaker at the NASA-hosted forum, of the 800 reports received by his office by late May, the most common observations are of "spheres," 3-13 feet in size and "white, silver, [or] translucent" in color.

Intriguingly, sensors have observed such objects traveling at speeds ranging from "stationary to Mach 2," or twice the speed of sound, with "no thermal exhaust detected."

Kirsten Gillibrand wants to know the truth about aliens

U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand intends to get to the bottom of potential UFO activity.

While that's not a word you are likely to hear around the halls of government - the official term is unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP - the topic is currently the subject of heightened scrutiny. A House Oversight subcommittee held a hearing July 26 on UFOs in which lawmakers heard testimony from three former military officials who made claims ranging from allegations of the federal government sheltering alien spacecraft to encounters with unknown objects.

Having helped lead the effort to create the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office tasked with detecting and identifying mysterious objects a few years ago, probing for answers is right up Gillibrand's alley.

City & State caught up with the senator to discuss some of her recent legislative wins, the Trump indictment, the Equal Rights Amendment and the dire need for federal action to help New York support asylum-seekers. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

UFO whistleblower David Grusch's health records leaked: Coulthart

david grusch
NewsNation's exclusive interview with UFO whistleblower David Grusch sparked international attention with his claim the U.S. government has secretly been in possession of nonhuman spacecraft. Investigative journalist Ross Coulthart says Grusch believes the government may now be behind an effort to release his medical records in an effort to smear his credibility.

In a statement to NewsNation, Grusch said he learned The Intercept intends to publish an article that highlights previous struggles he had with post traumatic stress disorder, grief and depression, specifically incidents in 2014 and 2018. Coulthart thinks someone in the intelligence community leaked Grusch's medical records to the outlet.

"A temporary detention order transferred (Grusch) to a psychiatric unit and inpatient program where he got the treatment that he needed. This is a document, that if the media had done the right thing, would be in his police department file in the county sheriff's office," Coulthart told NewsNation host Chris Cuomo on Tuesday.

Coulthart continued: "Dave checked today because he assumed that the journalist had done his homework and just asked the local sheriff for the files. The sheriff has confirmed it did not come from him. The only other place that had this information is the intelligence community. (...) The intelligence community leaked it."

Comment: Here is NewsNation's coverage, including an interview with Rep. Byron Donalds on the link, and the need to investigate it.




Rep. Burchett isn't pleased, either:


He told Ask a Pol:
"That's just disgusting," Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) exclusively tells Ask a Pol. "Someone needs to lose their job."

While Burchett says it's too early to know where the leak came from, he's vowing to "dig into it" personally. And he's also planning to enlist the help of House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to help protect Grusch and other whistleblowers.

"I believe the Speaker will be very angry about this. I think he, like the rest of us, realizes our veterans and their sacrifice," Burchett says.

Burchett says instead of discrediting Grusch, he thinks this will attract

"I think it's gonna blow up in their face," Burchett tells Ak a Pol.
Update: The Intercept piece has been published, and its author clarifies that the report was not leaked, it was received via a FOIA request to the county:
The records were not confidential, medical, nor leaked. They are publicly available law enforcement records obtained under a routine Virginia FOIA request to the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office and provided by the office's FOIA coordinator. Copies of The Intercept's correspondence with the sheriff's office are being published with this story.
The question is whether the journalist was just fishing for info based on a public records search of Grusch's old addresses, or if he was directed where to look.

Terrified Peruvian villagers claim they are under attack from 7ft-tall 'aliens' dubbed 'Face Peelers' as they plead with authorities to send backup

Terrified villagers in a rural Peruvian district have claimed they have come under attack by 7ft-tall aliens they have dubbed Los Pelacaras, or The Face Peelers.

Members of the Ikitu tribe from the San Antonio native community have reported mysterious figures in dark-coloured hoods attacking the villagers, who live in the rural district of Alto Nanay, north east of Lima, Peru.

After one such 'attack', a 15-year-old girl had to be taken to hospital.

Comment: The Sun reported:
It has been suggested the "beings" could be drones covered with cloth and masks to scare the locals by illegal miners in a Scooby Doo-style scheme.

Others have suggested the sightings could be a case of mass hysteria.

Police and the navy are now investigating the claims - with locals calling for a military force to be deployed in the region, which is a 10-hour river ride from Iquitos City.
Peruvian ufologist Anthony Choy claimed he had heard of accounts from across the Amazon about the so-called "aliens".

He stated he had heard there was a report from the city of Pucallpa of three boys being "attacked with laser beams".

And he claimed there was a similar report from the town of Contamana.

But he speculated this may be a case of mass hysteria - with real stories being embellished.

He suggested reports of human traffickers may be becoming intertwined with folklore and reports of alien abductions.

"There are legends that speak of the so-called 'peelers' who are a kind of mythical characters," he explained.

"That is what the communities constantly repeat."

Ryan Graves: My testimony to Congress on UAP was the tip of the iceberg

Ryan Graves
© BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP via Getty ImagesRyan Graves, executive director of Americans for Safe Aerospace, arrives to testify during a House Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs hearing titled "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Implications on National Security Public Safety and Government Transparency," on Capitol Hill on July 26.
Two Navy pilots testified under oath to Congress about how unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) pose a potential national security and safety of flight risk last month. I was one of them.

My story is this: Nine years ago, my F/A-18's squadron, operating off the coast of Virginia Beach, observed and tracked UAP that had infiltrated military airspace. The UAP had no visible propulsion or lifting surfaces but could remain motionless in Category-4 hurricane winds, accelerate to supersonic, and operate all day, outlasting our fighter jets by 10 hours or more. They even caused near mid-air collisions with our jets, triggering mandatory safety reports.

Today, these same UAP are still being seen; we still don't know what they are; and our government has no idea of the scope of the problem. That's because pilots, both commercial and military, are encountering UAP, and the majority of these cases are going unreported.

I founded Americans for Safe Aerospace, the fastest-growing UAP nonprofit in the world with more than 8,200 members, because I believe we need to find out.

When I testified last week, I also shared with Congress how more than 30 UAP witnesses, commercial pilots, and veterans, have reached out to Americans for Safe Aerospace to detail their encounters, and dozens more have contacted us since I testified at the UAP hearings.

Witnesses reach out to us for two reasons: First, they trust us, and second there is no official system for commercial pilots to report UAP.

A monumental UFO scandal is looming

UFO Hearing

David Fravor, testify before a House Oversight and Accountability subcommittee hearing on UFOs, Wednesday, July 26, 2023, on Capitol Hill in Washington.
The decades-long saga of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) is barreling headlong toward one of two stunning conclusions.

Either the U.S. government has mounted an extraordinary, decades-long coverup of UFO retrieval and reverse-engineering activities, or elements of the defense and intelligence establishment are engaging in a staggeringly brazen psychological disinformation campaign.

Either possibility would have profound implications for democracy, the role of government and perhaps also humanity's place in the cosmos.

For these reasons, it is imperative that Congress and federal law enforcement agencies devote significant resources to investigating a series of remarkable UFO-related developments.

Importantly, a third explanation for recent events — that dozens of high-level, highly-cleared officials have come to believe enduring UFO myths, rumors and speculation as fact — appears increasingly unlikely.

In June, U.S. Air Force veteran and former intelligence official David Grusch alleged that elements of the U.S. government have secretly and illegally overseen a decades-long UFO retrieval and reverse-engineering effort. Two defense officials corroborated the broad contours of Grusch's stunning claims.

Carmen Rich was filming a big storm off the coast of Fort Lauderdale Beach in Florida when he saw a "ball of light" shoot across the sky.

The 29-year-old's startling footage showed the UFO fly past within a split second before stunned Carmen said: "Wow, did you see that just shoot across?"

He can then be heard asking if anyone else saw it before stopping the video to review the footage - as he "wondered if he was crazy".

After realising he had managed to capture the mystery object on camera, the financial analyst showed his step-sister Jennifer Rich, 20, who "blinked and missed it".

Carmen, from Boston, insisted the object couldn't be a drone as it was travelling a "couple of thousand miles per hour".
