What was discussed during the U.S. House Intelligence Committee’s first hearing on UFOs in more than 50 years? Alien life has visited Earth? A national security threat? And why are China and Russia being implicated? What is the purpose behind suddenly convening the UFO hearing? CCTV Military Disclosure will analyze it for you! What known alien information was disclosed during the live broadcast of the public hearing?

On May 17, the U.S. House Intelligence Committee held a public hearing on unidentified flying objects. In this first congressional public hearing on UFOs in more than 50 years, Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence Scott Bray showcased pictures and videos of unidentified aerial phenomena observed by the U.S. military. The hearing lasted 90 minutes and was broadcast live. What conclusions about UFOs were reached at this high-profile hearing?

Does alien life exist?

At the hearing, when members of Congress asked Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security Ronald Moultrie about the existence of extraterrestrial life, he would not confirm: “There are elements in our government that are engaged in looking for life in other places. ...They’ve been searching for extraterrestrial life. ... our goal is not to potentially cover up something, if we were to find something. It’s to understand what may be out there.”

Why are people witnessing unidentified aerial phenomena?

Many UFO sightings around the world are misunderstandings of natural phenomena such as lentil-shaped "flying saucer” clouds, "ball lightning" and meteorites.

At the hearing, Bray said that some of the lights from unmanned aerial systems are reflected through night vision goggles onto the single-lens reflex cameras as triangles. As for whether the effect could be experimentally reproduced, he did not explain further.

He used the topic as a pretext to further the U.S. agenda and fabricated an issue out of nothing.

Compared to aliens, the U.S. is much more concerned with China and Russia.

The videos aired at the hearing showed unidentified aerial phenomena aloft flying upwind, either remaining stationary or moving at considerable speed without discernible means of propulsion. Bray and Moultrie did not explain the phenomena.

Although the hearing offered little in the way of explaining UAP, the members of Congress were oddly serious about the speculative "security threat.”

A CNN report claimed that the U.S. lawmakers, intelligence officers and military personnel working on unidentified aerial phenomena were far more concerned “not that alien life is visiting Earth, but rather that a foreign adversary like Russia or China might be fielding some kind of next-generation technology in American airspace that the United States doesn’t know about.”

Military expert Du Wenlong analyzed this pinning of UFO activity on China and Russia as an obvious exaggeration of the air threat presented by China and Russia: “The United States has its own aims: first, to build support for the development of new types of weapons and equipment, and to strive for a competitive advantage in unmanned systems technology; second, the United States needs to fund these projects, and through this sensationalizing, Congress can justify allocating a large budget; furthermore, the United States is also deflecting from its own testing of new weapons and equipment.”

An ulterior motive lurks. UFOs are being used to peddle the space warfare agenda.

In the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the U.S. is using space satellites to provide coordinate guidance for Ukrainian military drones. The U.S. space exploration company Starlink dispatched its satellite internet terminals to Ukraine, and Starlink broadband service is active in the Ukraine region. According to British media reports, the Starlink system helped the Ukrainian command and control apparatus gain communication capabilities, and supported Ukrainian drone strikes on the Russian army. On May 19, Russian media reported that, according to a captured Ukrainian military officer, the Ukrainian army had used the Starlink equipment in the Azovstal steel plant to communicate with the Ukrainian General Staff.

Military commentator Wei Dongxu believes that when the U.S. provokes conflicts and conducts military interventions, military operations will benefit greatly from its satellites in space. The U.S. military intends to acquire more financial support for space infrastructure, guide public attention by hyping up UFO incidents and develop more space combat weapons and equipment.

Up to old tricks. Diverting public attention.

When in trouble, shift the focus to UFOs.

The U.S. public began paying attention to UFOs in 1947. That year, a pilot reported seeing nine saucer-like objects flying at supersonic speeds over Mount Rainier in Washington state. This was the first recorded witness account of UFOs. That was also the year the Cold War between the U.S. and USSR officially began.

In 1966, when the Cold War was at its peak, the United States held a UFO hearing; however, after the dissolution of the USSR, reporting on UFOs dropped off.

In April 2020, then-U.S. President Donald Trump was caught in an uproar following his suggestion of injecting disinfectant as a treatment for COVID-19. A month later, the U.S. Naval Safety Center released eight hazard reports on encounters between U.S. naval aircraft and UFOs.

A U.S. historian of science, Kate Dorsch, pointed out in an article in Foreign Policy magazine that in 2021 UFO concerns were essentially the product of Cold War fears between the U.S. and USSR. U.S. narratives about UFOs, both in 2021 and 1947, coincidentally concern "national security."

Du stated that the situation in Europe is now undergoing a major change. The United States plays a central role in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the large amount of military assistance provided to Ukraine has greatly harmed the U.S. economy and citizenry. At this time, the U.S. is holding UFO hearings to divert attention and to give the brains of its people a break.


披露!时隔50多年,美国为啥又搬出UFO……

近日美众议院情报委员会召开了50多年来首次以UFO为主题的听证会听证会到底讲了什么?外星生命访问地球?国家安全威胁?又为何要攀扯中俄?突然召开UFO听证会究竟有何意图?本期《央视军事披露》为你解析!会议全程直播美国公开其已知的外星人信息?

当地时间5月17日,美国国会众议院情报委员会举行了一场UFO主题公开听证会。这是美国国会50多年来首次就不明飞行物召开公开听证会。
听证会现场,美海军情报局副局长布雷用图片和视频的方式展示了美军方观察到的部分“不明空中现象”(UAP)。听证会持续90分钟,全程直播。这场全球高度关注的UFO听证会究竟说了些什么?
是否存在外星生命?

听证会上,针对议员提出是否存在外星生命的问题,负责情报和安全事务的美国防部副部长罗纳德·穆特里并未给出正面答复:“美国政府的一些研究人员正在寻找外星生命,美国的目标不是掩盖某些事情,而是了解可能存在的事物。”
为什么会看到UAP?

在世界上诸多的UFO目击事件中,很多都是因为目击者看到了“飞碟云”、“球状闪电”、陨石等自然现象而产生的误解。

而在此次听证会上,有关视频中三角形物体的解释,布雷称,有些无人驾驶系统通过夜视镜被反射后,进到相机,变成三角形。至于能否重新验证,他并未作进一步解释。

借题发挥,无中生有

相比外星人,美国更关注中俄

本次听证会播放的视频显示,UAP能在高空逆风飞行,或保持静止、或以极快的速度移动,且观测不到任何推进装置。对此,布雷和穆特里都未作出解释。

这场听证会并没有为UAP提供多少解释,众议员们对“安全威胁”的猜测却出奇地重视。

CNN在报道中声称,那些致力于研究无法解释的空中现象的美国议员、情报人员和军事人员,更大的担忧不是“外星生命正在访问地球”,而是“像俄罗斯或中国这样的外国对手,可能正在美方空域部署某种美国不知道的下一代技术”。

对此,军事专家杜文龙表示,把这些不明飞行物安在中俄头上,很显然是在放大中俄的空中威胁。

“美国有自己的目的:首先,为研制新型武器装备造势,争取在无人智能网络方面形成竞争优势;其次,美国需要经费,通过这种炒作,可以让国会给不同的项目高额拨款;另外,美国也在掩盖其进行新型武器装备试验的某种痕迹。 ”
醉翁之意不在酒

借UFO为太空战“带货”

在俄乌冲突中,美国利用太空卫星为乌军提供坐标指引,又通过美国太空探索公司“星链”卫星,为乌克兰地区服务、输送多批终端设备。据英媒报道,“星链”系统帮助乌方指挥控制系统获得通信能力,并协助乌无人机打击俄军。当地时间5月19日,俄媒报道称,据一名被俘的乌军官透露,乌军在亚速钢铁厂内曾使用“星链”设备用于与乌总参谋部取得联系和传送信息。

军事评论员魏东旭认为,美国对外进行军事干预、挑起冲突时,其在太空中的卫星会对美军事行动起到非常大的助力。美军希望能够在太空层面有更多的经费支持,通过炒作所谓UFO事件引导民意关注,多造相关的太空战斗武器装备。
故技重施,转移视线

遇到麻烦就甩锅UFO

美国公众对不明飞行物的关注始于1947年。当年,一名飞行员报告,在华盛顿州雷尼尔山上空发现9个“碟子”样的物体以超音速飞行。这是UFO目击事件首次被记载,那年,美苏冷战正式开始。

1966年,冷战处于白热化阶段,同年美国举行了UFO听证会;而在苏联解体后,美媒关于UFO的报道大大减少。

2020年4月,时任美国总统特朗普因“注射消毒剂”言论陷入风波。1个月后,美国海军安全中心就公开了8份关于美海军飞机与UFO遭遇的“危险报告”。

美国科学史学家凯特·多尔西2021年在《外交政策》刊文指出,UFO本质上是冷战时期双方相互猜疑环境下的产物。2021年美方关于UFO的叙述和1947年都巧合地指向“国家安全”。

杜文龙表示,如今欧洲形势正在发生重大变化,美国在俄乌冲突中发挥着关键作用,美向乌提供的大量军事援助,给美国经济、民众造成巨大的伤害。在这个时候,美国召开UFO听证会,是在转移民众视线,让美国老百姓换换“脑子”。
