Lewis Elizondo, a former Pentagon official who attended the House Oversight Committee hearing, claimed that "the United States and some adversaries possess UFO technology, and are keeping it secret to hide the fact that we are not alone in space."
"High-tech, which no government has created, is monitoring sensitive military facilities around the world," he said.
Former Navy Maj. Gen. Tim Gallodet also said he first became aware of the existence of UFOs in 2015 while serving in the Navy.
Gallodet claimed he received an email from a U.S. Fleet Command official with a video of an unusual flying object attached, but the email was deleted from his account the next day.
The U.S. Congress held its first public hearing on UFOs in more than 50 years in May 2022, and held a similar hearing last year.
The hearing comes more than a year after David Grush, a former Air Force officer, raised allegations that the Pentagon was secretly running a UFO recall program.
In a related development, the U.S. Department of Defense said in a report released in March that the UFOs people witnessed did not come from the outside world and there was no government cover-up.
In addition, although a 2021 report by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence points out that there are several cases in which technology appears to have been mobilized beyond the capabilities of the United States and its adversaries, the Pentagon says it is likely to eventually identify as an ordinary object.
Sean Kirkpatrick, a former director of the Pentagon's related task force, testified at a hearing last year that he was investigating about 800 reported UFO cases over two decades from 1996, and that there were not many cases beyond hard-to-explain.
