US whistleblower claims ‘we are not alone’ in congressional hearing on UFOs and secret programs

In a recent congressional hearing on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), former Department of Defense official Luis Elizondo made a striking statement, declaring under oath that “we are not alone in the cosmos.” The hearing, held on Thursday, aimed to address long-standing concerns about government secrecy and alleged cover-ups surrounding UFOs, with testimony from experts like Elizondo and journalist Michael Shellenberger.

Elizondo claimed the U.S. government has access to technology “made off-world by non-human intelligence” and alleged that the extreme secrecy surrounding UAPs has harmed government employees and military personnel. “All to hide the fact that we are not alone,” Elizondo asserted, according to The Guardian. The testimony aligns with growing public pressure for transparency on UFO-related matters, sparked last year by former intelligence officer David Grusch’s allegations that the Pentagon operates covert UAP retrieval programs.

Shellenberger testified that sources within the Pentagon informed him of a classified program named “Immaculate Constellation,” which purportedly holds a vast repository of UAP evidence, including thousands of photos, videos, and physical materials. Congresswoman Nancy Mace requested further details on this program, although specifics were not disclosed.

Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert questioned whether there was any truth to theories about an alien “underwater base.” Officials responded that no evidence supports this claim. During the session, Elizondo hinted that “biologics” and “bodies” have allegedly been recovered in connection with UAP encounters, but declined to elaborate in the open forum.

The hearing concluded with an evident push from Congress for increased government transparency on UAPs. Despite the intense testimony, no concrete evidence was presented, leaving many questions unanswered and the public eager for further disclosures.
