According to major foreign media on the 26th (local time), two former U.S. Navy pilots appeared at a House of Representatives congressional hearing on the same day, claiming that "the government should disclose information about unidentified flying objects (UFOs)."

Ryan Graves and David Fravor, former U.S. Navy fighter pilots, along with David Grusch, a former U.S. Air Force military intelligence official, testified about allegations of concealment regarding 'Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP),' commonly referred to as UFOs.

First, Graves and Fravor, the two former pilots, revealed that they frequently encountered UAPs while flying.

Graves, who served in the Navy for over 10 years and is currently a director of the civilian organization 'American Safe Aerospace,' began by saying, "It is common among military and civilian pilots to encounter flying objects presumed to be man-made."

He emphasized, "Pilots, whether military or civilian, are trained to accurately identify flying objects as their lives depend on it."

During the session, accounts of UAP sightings were also shared. Graves stated, "During a training flight off the coast of Virginia Beach, Virginia, two fighter jets encountered a UAP," adding, "The object was a transparent dark gray or black cube."

He continued, "The object approached within about 15 meters of the lead fighter jet. The object was approximately 1.5 to 4.5 meters in diameter," and said, "Because of this, the operation was canceled, and the squadron reported the incident as a potential safety threat." However, it is said that this information was not officially disclosed afterward.

He added, "Encounters with UAPs in the sky are so common that pilots discuss how to respond during pre-flight briefings to ensure their safety."

Fravor, a former Navy colonel, also claimed, "In 2004, I witnessed a UAP off the coast of San Diego," and said he heard from the operational air controller that the object had been observed over the past two weeks, diving from an altitude of 24 km (80,000 feet) down to 6 km (20,000 feet).

He further explained, "The flying object maintained the lower altitude of 6 km for several hours before suddenly ascending," and "When we approached to get a closer look at the UAP, it rapidly accelerated and disappeared."

"Government recovered crashed UFO and studied its principles"

David Grusch, who served on the U.S. Air Force UAP panel and became a whistleblower, claimed that he was denied access by the government when trying to obtain UFO-related information. He criticized, "The government has secured flying objects not made by humans but has not disclosed this to Congress or the public."

Grusch said, "Reverse engineering to understand the principles of crashed UAPs has been ongoing for decades after the government recovered them."

He added, "I tried to learn more about that program but was subsequently denied access," stating that he reported the information to his superiors and that many others received related reports. He also said, "I have interviewed 40 witnesses over the past four years," and "Based on this, I believe the U.S. government currently possesses UAPs."

However, the Department of Defense immediately denied Grusch's concealment claims. A Department of Defense spokesperson rebutted in a statement, "We have found no information to substantiate claims that programs involving possession or reverse engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or currently exist."

Meanwhile, the House Oversight and Reform Committee's hearing was held under the theme 'Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: National Security, Public Safety, and Government Transparency,' drawing public attention to the existence of UFOs.

Republican Representative Tim Burchett, who led the hearing, previously stated that the Department of Defense does not disclose evidence suggesting the possibility of extraterrestrial life, saying, "There are many things the American people need to know. What I want is transparency and the release of all related files."

Republican Representative Glenn Grothman also said, "The lack of transparency regarding UAPs has fueled decades of speculation and controversy," adding, "Citizens are increasingly losing trust in the institutions that are supposed to serve and protect them."
