There was a very X-Files vibe to a congressional hearing into unidentified anomalous phenomena on Nov. 13. Witness testimony included eyebrow-raising claims about the existence of UAPs and alien technology on Earth. The hearing was focused on testimony with little substantive evidence behind some of the more extraordinary claims.

What this all means for UFO fans

The hearing didn’t deliver any knockout new information No one was beamed into space and no UFOs or alien technologies appeared. The main takeaway was a broad call for the government to be more transparent in sharing UAP data and to protect people who may come forward with UAP-related experiences.

There has been no compelling evidence to prove UFOs or UAPs are extraterrestrial in nature, but the phenomena continue to fascinate the public. UFO sightings still pour in, though many have mundane explanations related to birds, balloons and drones. UAPs are very real in the sense there are some as-yet-unexplained phenomena. Is it aliens? The proof hasn’t appeared. As Gold concluded, "As the saying goes, the truth is out there, we just need to be bold enough and brave enough to face it."
