There have already been several congressional hearings on UFOs, with government officials, military personnel, scientists and even intelligence community whistleblowers revealing detailed accounts of encounters with unknown objects both in the United States and elsewhere.

This latest hearing, which is due to take place on May 1st, will see a number of prominent figures - including Harvard scientist Avi Loeb and former AATIP head Luis Elizondo - meet with the goal of examining the topic of UAPs and its implications."The open, livestreamed event will feature Members of Congress and leading experts who will offer a science-driven perspective on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), formerly known as unidentified flying objects (UFOs)," the website states.

"Discussions will examine the implications of UAP for science, national security, and innovation."

"In an era marked by rapid advancements in aerospace, energy, and artificial intelligence, the significance of UAP has transitioned from fringe curiosity to a matter of central importance."

"This nonpartisan briefing will convene esteemed figures from the realms of science, defense, and technology to discuss the multifaceted aspects of UAP."
