One such example was physicist Brian Cox who shared his thoughts on Twitter:

"I keep being asked what I make of the UFO thing in Congress yesterday, so here it is," he wrote.

"I watched a few clips and saw some people who seemed to believe stuff saying extraordinary things without presenting extraordinary evidence. Therefore I have nothing more to say, other than: It would be great if true - it would take a bit of the pressure off our civilization if we weren't the only means within the Milky Way by which the Universe understands itself."

"Sadly, as of today, I still feel that pressure, so can we perhaps focus on not messing our world up rather than hoping that, to paraphrase Sagan, someone will float down to save us from ourselves."Former MoD UFO researcher Nick Pope, meanwhile, was more positive.

"Something is going on in our airspace, and it's not just UFO enthusiasts saying this," he told Fox News.

"This is now coming from the government. They have declassified some U.S. Navy videos of these things. There have been two reports from the office of the Director of National Intelligence, some previous congressional hearings and more to come, and NASA doing a study."

David MacDonald, Executive Director of the Mutual UFO Network, also commented on the hearing.

"They're starting to admit they most certainly do have crash material," he told Spectrum News.

"They have intact spacecraft, period," he said. "I have pictures of supposed crash sight material. The amount of evidence, it's overwhelming. There are people sitting in prison today convicted on the tiniest fraction of evidence that we have to support our position that there is other life out there."
