House Committee Holds Hearing On UAP Transparency

WASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 9: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) journalist George Knapp says, "In the early 90s, I got into Russia. Met with a number of their defense officials, Minister of Defense and others who confirmed for me that Russia had been doing the same thing that the United States had been doing, that is, secretly studying UFOs while publicly saying something completely different," as he testifies before the House Oversight Committee's Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets at the U.S. Capitol on September 9, 2025 in Washington, DC. The task force met to hear testimony on unidentified aerial phenomena during a hearing titled "Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection."
