The Honorable Kevin McCarthy
Speaker
United States House of Representatives
H-232, The Capitol
Washington, DC 20515
Speaker McCarthy:
Yesterday, under oath and before the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, Mr. David Grusch,
an Air Force veteran and 14-year intelligence officer, testified that the Pentagon has been keeping
Congress in the dark concerning “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena” or UAPs. Historically UAPs
have been called by other names—“unidentified flying objects” or UFOs in particular—but despite the
changing alphabet soup, our concern and the concern of our constituents remain constant.
Mr. Speaker, we ask that you immediately establish a Select Committee, outside the jurisdiction of any
standing committee, and with subpoena authority, to go about the task of collecting information from the
Pentagon and elsewhere for the benefit of the public and to discharge our constitutional, legislative and
oversight roles.
This issue is much bigger than the news cycle: it represents a confluence of concerning governmental
actions that indicates a lack of forthrightness on the part of the Pentagon and intelligence community. No
governmental program, no matter how sensitive, can be outside the view of Congress. And yet, the
Executive Branch routinely redacts and entirely withholds information in other domains that we are
entitled to, and is doing so here.
By establishing a Select Committee to investigate the United States government’s response to UAPs, the
118th Congress will have an opportunity to work through more significant issues of government oversight
(including lack of budget transparency, over classification, and unwillingness to respond to Congressional
oversight), on a discrete issue that is readily understandable by the public, and which is of grave concern
to our nation.
Sincerely,
Matt Gaetz Anna Paulina Luna Tim Burchett Jared Moskowitz

I dont need some 19 yr old page signing a "Thank You. We'll look into it"...wityh an autosigned fake signature and believe me, they do.
I dont think sadly that it would make enough difference. We tried in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's Millenium...and see what we got?
We got you asking us to write letters etc ....an honorable intent for sure, and thanks...but not even if the whole world is screaming for truth.
Truth? From any Government? To what end? To whose intent? By what means?
Im with you, but dont think even "If we get everybody to contact..." it will make any difference. It never has......
Thnx

Though I applaud your attempt, a hand written note on plain manila paper, talking about UAPs is unfortunately not going to last long on many peoples desks.
You need signatures on digital polls.
Last week sure was crazy in the UFO world. Numerous allegations (and strong ones, at that) were made that the Intelligence Community "leaked" the "medical records" of UFO Whistleblower David Grusch.
That would have been awful, and disgusting, if true. But, was it? Lots of people still think it is.
But were these allegations truly warranted? What really went down? Here is a live presentation overview of how it all unfolded... why... the key players... an attempt to separate fact from fiction

Ngl.. Im really interested in the redaction 🤣🤣
I have no desire to turn your thread into a political debate, but the topic itself has been politicized and used as a distraction. It has more to do with bread and circuses than it does serious investigation. If it dies, it will be because it served its purpose as a political tool to keep at least some people preoccupied with the aliens out there rather than the ones flooding into our country. To keep people watching the skies instead of watching our country turn into a banana republic.
Have we been lied to for decades, maybe even centuries concerning this topic? Certainly, but the answers are buried so deep that no one person has all the answers. Congress has only one weapon at their disposal that could even remotely begin to uncover a fraction of the secrecy surrounding it. They hold the purse strings and the ability to impeach. They would have to cut off funding directly AND indirectly. This is no small task, and it could do more damage than good. "Disclosure" will likely never be a direct answer to your questions. It will come as it always has. Slow leaks, drip feeding, and lots of muddying the waters.
