Langley Drone Swarm

“Between the Chinese balloon being shot down and two UAPs subsequently shot down following the event earlier this year the U.S. Government spent $1.5 million in taxpayer dollars on missiles.”

“The next witness, David Grusch, is a former senior intelligence officer with the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency and was a senior technical advisor for UAP issues.”

“Our first witness is Lieutenant Ryan Graves. He is the Executive Director of Americans for Safe Aerospace. Lieutenant Graves is also a former U.S. Navy F–18 pilot with his own UAP experience.”

“The Subcommittee on unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAPs, will come to order.”

“The National Defense Authorization Act of 2022 established the all-domain anomaly resolution officer—AARO—to conduct or to coordinate efforts across the Department of Defense and other Federal agents to detect, identify, and investigate UAPs.”

“Langley is the home of the First Fighter Wing, which maintains half of the F–22s in the U.S. Air Force inventory.”

“That is almost 20 years ago, right?”

“And, finally, retired Navy Commander David Fravor, squadron leader who worked as a naval aviator for 18 years. Mr. Fravor has his own UAP experience known as the Tic Tac event.”

“in 1966, President Gerald Ford claimed to have seen a UFO, and in 1969 in Georgia, Jimmy Carter claimed to have seen a UFO”

“AARO's budget remains classified, prohibiting meaningful oversight from Congress.”

“During a previous UAP hearing, Navy Commander David Fravor discussed the Tic Tac object engaged in 2004. Are you familiar with the incident, the Tic Tac incident?”

“Reports of this incident indicate these drones were roughly 20 feet long, flying more than 100 miles an hour in an altitude of over 3,000 feet, yet the origin of these drones and their operators remains a mystery.”

“In your written testimony, you claim last year's UAP hearing before this Oversight Committee confirmed that UAP-related information is—well, it is not only being withheld, but that elements of the government are engaging in a disinformation campaign, to in-clude personal attacks designed to discredit UAP whistleblowers. Could you elaborate on that statement a little?”

“when I was younger in school I read a book—a 1966 book called ''Flying Saucers Serious Business'' and for a while when I was a little bit younger, I thought it was the most important issue out there.”

“Was this incident the only UAP event that you encountered while you were a pilot?”

“NASA is leading an independent study on UAPs to identify how UAP data is gathered from both civilian and government entities that can be analyzed to shed light on the topic.”

“I co-led the Safe Airspace for Americans Act with Ranking Member Garcia, which requires the Federal Aviation Administration to develop procedures to collect UAP data from civilian aviators.”

“OK. Mr. Fravor, the Tic Tac incident that you were engaged occurred in 2004. What kind of reporting took place after that incident?”

“It has been said there are more videos, documents, and reports related to this incident. Do you believe the information regarding the Tic Tac incident should be available to all Members of Congress? In your expertise, what reason would the Department of Defense possibly have for not releasing information that is over 20 years old?”

“The lack of transparency regarding UAPs has fueled wild speculation and debate for decades, eroding public trust in the very institutions that are meant to serve and protect them”
