Anna Paulina Luna and featured talks by scientists and UFO researchers including Harvard scientist Avi Loeb and former AATIP head Luis Elizondo, was aimed at briefing members of Congress about the UFO phenomenon and its implications.

Speaking at the event, Loeb emphasized the need for further funding to improve UFO detection and stated that "there are objects in the sky that we don't understand."

He asked for $1 billion to be assigned to UFO tracking and monitoring.

Another speaker at the hearing was Tim Gallaudet - a retired Navy Rear Admiral - who slammed an alleged 'disinformation campaign' that is being perpetuated by the US intelligence community.

He maintained that the US Navy had a 'treasure trove' of data pertaining to the phenomenon that has not been officially released and called on the White House to publish the data.Physicist Dr Eric Davis, meanwhile, told the briefing that the US government had long been operating a secretive program designed to recover and reverse-engineer crashed UFOs.

He claimed that the program was initiated in 1944 and that a great deal of the technology recovered from UFO crash sites had been moved to Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.

Intelligence community expert Christopher Mellon also maintained that there had been almost 1,800 reports of UAPs by military personnel within the last few years alone.

Dozens of such cases remain unsolved, he added - even those dating back to the 1960s.
