A former intelligence official testified at a U.S. House subcommittee hearing, and claimed that the government has been covering up a longstanding defense program that collects and reverse engineers unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and has found "nonhuman biologics" at alleged UFO crash sites.

00:00 you got. Let the record show that all...
00:05 ...the circumstances surrounding you...
00:07 ...we show that Democrats and Republicans in Congress can come together in a bipartisan way...
00:13 I was informed in the course of my official duties of a multi-decade UAP
00:19 crash retrieval and reverse engineering program, to which I was denied access to
00:25 those additional read-ons when I requested it. I made the decision based
00:30 on the data I collected to report this information to my superiors
00:35 and multiple inspectors general, and in effect becoming a whistleblower. As you
00:41 know, I've suffered retaliation for my decision, but I am hopeful that my
00:45 actions will ultimately lead to a positive outcome of increased transparency.
00:50 Have you faced any retaliation or reprisals for any of your testimony or anything on these lines?
00:57 Yeah, I have to be careful what I say in detail because there is an open whistleblower
01:03 reprisal investigation on my behalf, and I don't want to compromise that
01:07 investigation by providing anything that may help provide somebody information.
01:13 But it was very brutal and very unfortunate, some of the tactics they used to hurt me,
01:19 both professionally and personally, to be quite frank.
01:22 I take it that you're arguing what we need is real transparency in a reporting system
01:28 so we can get some clarity on what's going on out there, because there are many pilots in your situation.
01:34 But we should have a way of developing a systematic inventory of all of such encounters, is that right?
01:42 Yes, and I think we need both transparency and the reporting. We have the reporting, but we need to
01:46 make sure that information can be promulgated to commercial aviation as well as the rest of the populace.
01:50 What about you? What was your experience after you came forward?
01:55 Well, it's only been about two months or so, so I guess my experience has been overwhelming support
02:01 from former colleagues of mine that have privately messaged me, and I do appreciate that.
02:07 But I do have knowledge of active planned reprisal activity against myself and other colleagues,
02:14 and it's very upsetting to me.
02:16 Coming from where?
02:18 Certain senior leadership at previous agencies I was associated with.
