Congressional UAP hearings keep being delayed because witnesses are just too terrified to testify. People with first-hand knowledge of recovered craft and non-human biologics are backing out at the last minute, citing death threats and career destruction. And while Anna Paulina Luna is attempting to progress these hearings, hear what she had to say to ask a poll.

"How are you? I didn't put out a statement. They postponed the date because we couldn't get people to testify. And we have another skiff hearing because the same people that we wanted to get into a skiff got skiff blue. So we're now opening it up to them for when they're ready and available at their convenience to come testify to us in the skiff. And then as soon as you know date on that yet. Well, it's going to be up to their convenience. And then we'll also ask them as soon as they're ready."

Hear that it went from August to September to whenever the witnesses are ready to speak. Are we going to get a hearing at all? And it seems like the most significant public disclosure effort in modern history is crumbling and the pattern of suppression extends far beyond UFOs. From mysterious metallic objects buried under Egyptian pyramids to classified crash retrieval programs. Someone is working very hard to keep humanity in the dark.

Hey, UFOlogers, I'm Cristina Gomez, and welcome to this episode of UFO News Updates. When it comes to UFO hearings, Grush is always brought up. And when Matt Laslow from Ask A Poll spoke to Eric Burlison July 18th, this is what he had to say.

"UAPs, I was curious, the thing I texted you, why, about Grush? What do you make of Grush refusing to testify to Arrow and Kirkpatrick? According to that one for you. I don't think that you trusted Kirkpatrick. Yeah. So he wasn't hiding from Arrow. No. This is why I talk to someone you don't trust. He and I met with Arrow. And he and separately, he and Arrow had a long conversation. So that was just purely Kirkpatrick. I don't trust this guy, so I'm not going to. Yeah. Interesting. That's my guess. I don't want to speak for Grudge. You just reminded me that you guys sat down with Arrow this year. Yeah. So that FOIA is old information. My guess is probably to do it for Patrick."

"Do you, like, where do you see this investigation going? Like, no July hearing, no June hearing? I think we're building for, we're building for the disclosure document to be to be put into the NDAA. I'm working with Senator Rounds. Any of that will be transformative."

Eric Burlison, who's been working closely with Grush, confirms that despite the public drama, Grush has been cooperating with Arrow recently. But the broader whistleblower community, they've gone silent.

But according to Luna, who chairs the House Task Force of UAP Transparency and scheduled what was supposed to be the follow-up hearing to Grush's testimony, the plan was to bring forward additional witnesses with first-hand knowledge. She was very specific on that. But when the time came, these witnesses just vanished. They said they didn't want to be the only ones testifying. Others explicitly cited safety concerns. And Luna was forced to not only kind of cancel, postpone the public hearings, but also delay closed door skiff briefings because witnesses were getting what she called the skiff flu, refusing to show up even for classified sessions.

The Skiff Lou, you know? That's a new one, but it makes sense. Burlison spoke to Joe Khalil last week that people can lose their pensions and their security when they decide to become whistleblowers. And Luna's frustration extends beyond individual witnesses to the entire system designed to handle UAP disclosure.

"Have you talked? I mean, because the whole reason Arrow was created was to be a safe space. I told you how to go about Arrow. I know, but like. I don't, I think Arrow should be cut. I don't, I think"

Her assessment of Arrow, the very office created to provide a safe space for UAP whistleblowers, couldn't be more lackluster. And it shows because Lua Elizondo had mentioned on News Nation not too long ago that the FBI is now running their own investigation into UFOs that he says is running laps around Arrow.

"I've been working with the FBI on their investigations, their FBI investigations. What can you tell us about what they're finding? Is there anything new there? Yeah, well, I'll say this. First of all, America is getting a heck of their money spent very well with the FBI. I'm absolutely amazed how they're doing. In fact, they're running laps around the Department of Defense's Aero program that was established specifically to look at UAP. And the FBI team, it's a small but scrappy team of folks, are really doing one heck of a job. And I think if you look at Luna's recent statement that she said when she was asked about the FBI meeting that we helped organize in the skiff, she said it was a 10 out of 10."

When witnesses disappear and hearings get postponed, there's still some hope in the legislative arena. I hope, I think. And Burlison is working with Senator Mike Rounds on what could be the most significant piece of UAP legislation ever, the UAP Disclosure Act for 2025 National Defense Authorization Act. And just as a reminder, the first UAP DA was torn to pieces. So this time, Chuck Schumer and Mike Rounds tried again with wanting to disclose things such as reverse engineering programs, retrieved crashed material, and aliens. But needless to say, Eric mentioned this to Matt Laslow.

"It's my hope that now that we have a different Intel chair, that we'll have a different outcome. Yeah. Yep. The other thing I'm like really upset about is that is trying to track down why we were blocked. According to Tim Phillips, we were blocked from getting a briefing, a full briefing. And because at some point it was blocked by a chairman or ranking member of either Intel or HASC. And that's it. Well, and we've kind of, I think we've narrowed it down. It wasn't the speaker. It wasn't Jamie Comer for sure. It was one of those either Chairman or the rank of members of those two committees. And I think we have an idea who it was, but not for sure. Right. Try to meet with them maybe? So we've already had conversations. I've already had conversation with Chairman Crawford. He seems open to help. Yeah. Whereas Turner wouldn't even discuss it. No. are already there. It's night and day difference. Yes, Interesting."

Interesting that Mike Turner wanted what seems like, according to Burlison, nothing to do with the UFO topic. But the legislative battle faces massive resistance from defense contractors and intelligence agencies who want to keep this information buried. And the most revealing aspect of this entire story might be what's happening at the highest levels of government. Senator Mike Rounds, who's co-sponsoring the disclosure legislation, has made some fascinating exchanges with reporters about what he actually knows.

"Have you talked to any whistleblowers who've seen? We're claiming to see recovered grass. I've talked to individuals who have seen materials that they were analyzing, but they did not know what it was from. Have you asked to go see that yourself? No. Why not? Not believable, or? Where would I go to ask? You're a senator. You're going to do what you want. The question is, who would have it? And a lot of us, in years back, and a lot of them, I suspect, is part of stealth materials that have been developed by different organizations within the federal government. Well, and some folks, like Lockheed Martin, keeps coming up and talks, that Lockheed Martin might have some of this technology. Well, they have stealth technology, just like some others do. But I don't, look, I just simply don't know. And people say, well, what about, UAPs and so forth? I say, I don't know, but I would be foolish to say that they don't exist because I don't know."

Think about that statement. Rounds is saying he's spoken to people, presumably with high-level clearances, who have physically analyzed material of unknown origin. When pressed about whether he wanted to see these material himself, His response was telling, who would I ask? A sitting U.S. senator doesn't know where to examine potentially non-human technology that his own government apparently possesses. That, or he was told not to look deeper into it.

So what we're seeing isn't an isolated incident. It's A systematic pattern of suppression that spans multiple levels of government. You have witnesses too scared to testify publicly or privately. You have Arrow, supposedly the safe space for disclosure, being dismissed as a joke by the very Congress people trying to get answers. You have senators acknowledging they know people are analyzing unknown materials, but can't access them themselves. This level of compartmentalization and intimidation suggests we're dealing with something far beyond normal classification levels. When Grush first came forward, many expected a flood of additional witnesses, which people were anticipating, but instead we got silence.

The retaliation Grush faced might have sent a message to others with knowledge. Come forward at your own risk. And Grush testified that he faced very brutal retaliation, including professional and personal attacks. He even stated under oath that he feared for his life. If that's the testament A decorated intelligence officer receives for following proper whistleblower channels, Imagine what others with similar knowledge might expect.

The suppression of extraordinary discoveries isn't limited to UAPs. Consider what happened at Harawa, Egypt, where military satellite technology detected something that shouldn't exist. A 40-meter metallic object buried 60 meters beneath an ancient pyramid, mentioned by historian Ben Van Kirkwijk from Uncharted X. Tim Akers, a British military satellite specialist who spent years tracking submarines for the army, used the same classified radar technology on Egyptian archaeological sites. And his scans reveal 4 distinct underground levels with extraordinary precision. But what Akers found at the deepest level defied all explanation.

And this is what he had said to him as reported by Lou DeCordier, quoting Tim Akers. "All layers converge at a central corridor or Ave. like the atrium of a shopping mall, where you can see all floors from one vantage point. My personal interpretation is that this entire hall was constructed to house a centrally positioned, freestanding object about 40 metres long."

Akers described this object as having material properties unlike anything in his military career. No stone, no wood, but something metallic with an unknown signature. And he called it dippy. because of its elongated shape, and his most shocking assessment was that it might be some kind of portal, either interdimensional or interstellar, kind of like a stargate.

Yet despite confirmation from multiple independent scanning teams using different technologies, Egyptian authorities completely suppressed any excavation attempts back in 2008. Dr. Hawass, who controlled Egyptian antiquities, threatened researchers with national security sanctions and worse.

Although this research was done in 2008 and 2009, it wasn't published anywhere until around 2017 because also like the Matahar expedition, this was also shut down by Zahi Hawass. In fact, this was shut down a little more abruptly than the Madahar expedition. And this is quoting again the expedition team members. And in their paper, you can see the URL on the slide. This is what they wrote. It says, "Dr. Zahi Hawass halted the mission, briefly jailing its director, Professor Aladdin Shaheen, then dean of Cairo's archaeology faculty, who was swiftly ousted from his post."

While this took place more than a little under 20 years ago, the paperwork was not released till years later, and even then it was hardly spoken about. The pattern is identical to what we've seen with UAP disclosure. You got these incredible discoveries, initial confirmation, then immediate suppression with threats against anyone who tries to investigate further, just like Roswell. The case was buried for 30 years before Stanton Friedman uncovered the story again in the 70s.

Whether you're talking about metallic objects under pyramids or non-human biologics in government facilities, the response is the same. Silence, intimidation, and cover-up. What do you think is really happening here? Let me know in the comments below. That is it for today. I will see you next time. Be safe and remember, keep your eyes on the skies.
