UFO Hearing 2025 What We Know So Far

Show Transcript

Congress is about to hold what could be the most significant UFO hearing yet. But intelligence agencies are actively blocking congressional access to key witnesses. Based on exclusive footage from the Soul Foundation and new intel from News Nation, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna just revealed that the Defense Department and intelligence agencies cannot identify which agency has authorization to grant UAP-related security clearances. Meanwhile, veteran journalist Ross Coulthart is calling this obstruction a constitutional crisis and that it is all happening right now. As always, I am here to report the information without bias and you can decide what to believe. You can find the sources in my detailed articles at UFONews.co along with in the description box below. Hey, UFOlogers, I am Cristina Gomez and welcome to this episode of UFO News Updates.

We have just had a correspondent in Congress, Joe Khalil, speak to Representative Anna Paulina Luna, who is the chairwoman of this task force, and this is what she has had to say.

Clip - Rep. Anna Paulina Luna via News Nation: "Actively getting pushed back on our need to know clearances. Just so you know. From the DOD? From intelligence agencies, but they are saying that they cannot find the authorizing agency to actually give us clearance, which is so crazy. That seems like a silly question, or it seems like a silly thing, because would not the intelligence agencies have that information? Correct, correct. So you can see that on our end, too, we are still working through stuff, but it is really interesting when you look into some of these people's backgrounds, and I can tell you that we still have been unable to confirm certain people in SCIFs, and so, you know, until those criteria are met, we will not be able to get SCIF briefings from anyone. Because these clearances are not just you guys, but it is the people that you are trying to bring into the SCIF. It is, yeah."

Ross Coulthart addresses on News Nation the fundamental constitutional issue at stake. He questions why intelligence agencies would obstruct Congress when the Constitution explicitly grants Congress Article 1 authority to oversee all federal spending. And his analysis highlights that this goes beyond standard classification procedures and into potential constitutional violations.

The September 9th hearing, titled Restoring Public Trust through UAP Transparency and Whistleblower Protection, and Congresswoman Luna chairs the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets and has emerged as one of Congress's most vocal advocates for UAP transparency, right next to Eric Burlison and Tim Burchett. And what makes this hearing different is the systematic resistance she is documenting. Luna revealed that multiple witnesses initially approached for testimony declined because they feared for their lives. And intelligence agencies are using classification authorities to prevent congressional oversight.

Clip - Ross Coulthart via News Nation: "I do worry that this hearing is a dog and pony show. I know for a fact that there are other witnesses, at least one other witness, that was wanted to be called by particularly Representative Burlison, who has been pushing for this witness to appear. And I know that there has been pushback from the intelligence community stopping that witness from speaking."

And this pattern suggests coordinated efforts to limit congressional access to key information.

Clip - Rep. Anna Paulina Luna via Sol Foundation: "And so far, David Grusch has been someone that I have actually, and it is really bizarre to see the attacks that come into some of our witnesses, especially after we announced them. But so far, he has been able to not just help point us in the right direction, as far as being able to turn over the correct rocks and then also flush out who the good and bad actors are. But I was also in the military and when I am interacting with him, I do not get any sense that he is full of nonsense."

And Luna made it clear that even special access programs should have congressional oversight. And she stated that as a member of Congress, especially being a member of oversight, even if there are special access programs, which as you know, the intelligence community likes to hide things buried with these onions. There are layers of programs. Ultimately, at the end of the day, this task force was set up to be able to access that information. And then going back to the whole aspect of, well, the executive branch having the classification authorities and then these agencies will house them within whether it is the DOE, the DoD, any intelligence agency, they will then have their own classification way of doing things.

Clip - Rep. Anna Paulina Luna via Sol Foundation: "And so ultimately what we are having to do as a result of this task force is we are actually going to be going to basically the president to ask if we can get the access to programs that may exist within these different agencies. And that is because even here, people are trying to say, you have to go to this department or this department. So there is this over classification, but it almost feels as if they are passing the buck and not actually wanting to give us information and give us access to these various programs."

The congresswoman emphasized the serious nature of witness intimidation in UFO cases, and she revealed that when our task force attempted to schedule previous hearings, she mentioned that every witness that she reached out to said they did not want to testify because they feared for their lives. And these are not people that you would see in the media. They are not podcasters or anyone who made a career talking about it. They were legitimate former military or military contractors.

And Luna also disclosed recent incidents involving David Grusch. She noted that she recently entered a SCIF with Grusch and Burchett. And prior to that meeting, stating something really bizarre took place with David Grusch and it being handled at the law enforcement level.

And Ross used the example of Caison Best to illustrate AARO's investigative failures overall. He noted, AARO's inability to fairly and objectively investigate UAP cases is now transparently revealed with the evidence of Caison Best. And the case involved a UAP sighting at Cheyenne Mountain, one of the US's most sensitive military installations. Yet AARO failed to conduct a proper investigation or even write a good email, according to Best.

But Ross sees this as more than bureaucratic resistance.

Clip - Ross Coulthart via News Nation: "When is Congress going to develop a spine and start subpoenaing under oath the people who are obstructing? I think it is time for Congress to start getting bullish, to start waving a big stick and calling some of these suckers and bringing them before the Congress and asking them the hard questions. I think we are being far too nice."
