Good morning and welcome to the hearing regarding UAP disclosures.
[0:00:00 - 0:00:05] ▶
UAP activity at Eglin Air Force Base.
[0:00:40 - 0:00:44] ▶
research, or official review panel has confirmed any sighting of UAP-represented extraterrestrial
[0:01:56 - 0:02:02] ▶
In preparation for previous UAP hearings, the committee repeatedly asked the Department
[0:04:49 - 0:04:53] ▶
of Defense to allow members to view videos and files related to UAP incidences.
[0:04:53 - 0:04:58] ▶
Jim Clapper, the former director of the government's UAP task force, the former head of aviation security
[0:06:48 - 0:06:55] ▶
It's time for the fundamental truce of UAP to be real to our nation's leaders and the
[0:07:19 - 0:07:23] ▶
phenomena, or UAP, which is today's term for what was commonly known as UFOs, unidentified flying
[0:07:53 - 0:08:01] ▶
Some UAP reports have perfectly normal explanations.
[0:10:31 - 0:10:35] ▶
But we need to track down each and every single UAP.
[0:10:40 - 0:10:45] ▶
Between 2003 and 2005, five UAP incidents occurred at Vandenberg Air Force Base, home to the National Missile Defense Project, a top national security priority.
[0:16:21 - 0:16:34] ▶
These facilities were vital, and they were repeatedly visited by UAP.
[0:16:45 - 0:16:51] ▶
Fund independent research and treat UAP study with the same seriousness as we would any other scientific field.
[0:20:39 - 0:20:47] ▶
Sailors need to know that reporting UAP encounters will not harm their careers.
[0:25:33 - 0:25:38] ▶
The documents and interviews that I obtained and have now shared with this task force show that the USSR launched what is almost certainly the largest UFO, UAP investigation in the world.
[0:32:33 - 0:32:44] ▶
Because of my direct knowledge of the reality of certain legacy UAP programs, my professional career was deliberately obstructed and I have endured sustained reprisals from government agencies for over a decade.
[0:36:22 - 0:36:36] ▶
Some years after that experience, I was further exposed to classified information from the UAP legacy crash retrieval programs through a sensitive position I held within a special access program.
[0:37:20 - 0:37:30] ▶
In addition multiple agencies attempted phishing attacks to assess what I had divulged to the inspector general including being asked to disclose details of my IC IG complaint during a CI polygraph for a position unrelated to UFO UAP matters as recently as November 2024.
[0:39:36 - 0:39:52] ▶
Numerous individuals have come forward in various ways to reveal the truth of the UAP reality as patriots and defenders of our nation.
[0:40:04 - 0:40:11] ▶
In 2023 patriots provided this committee and the executive branch with undeniable proof of the UAP reality and I commend your continued commitment.
[0:40:55 - 0:41:05] ▶
How widespread do you think this is across the intelligence community for those who raise concerns regarding UAP programs?
[0:50:47 - 0:50:53] ▶
How important given everything that you've seen and experienced is the UAP Disclosure Act of 2025 in restoring both public accountability and trust?
[0:52:28 - 0:52:36] ▶
In addition to that, what lessons from these oversight failures should guide Congress in approaching UAP oversight?
[1:06:41 - 1:06:52] ▶
How important is it for whistleblowers to have strong protections when it comes to UAP-related disclosures or disclosures of other topics of excessive government secrecy?
[1:08:41 - 1:08:51] ▶
My first question is, Mr. Knapp, I recently introduced the UAP Whistleblower Protection Act
[1:12:43 - 1:12:51] ▶
How did you manage to obtain the classified Russian UAP documents, and how did you get them back in the United States?
[1:14:49 - 1:14:55] ▶
And has any government agency debriefed you or any of your shipmates regarding the EOIR and radar confirmed UAP encounter aboard USS Jackson?
[1:18:53 - 1:19:06] ▶
After filing your inspector general complaint over retaliation inside the Pentagon's UAP office, did you receive any kind of protection or just more retaliation?
[1:22:17 - 1:22:28] ▶
And do you think that that experience would suggest that the internal UAP investigations may be compromised?
[1:22:51 - 1:22:59] ▶
Just last night, I tried to get an amendment onto the National Defense Authorization Act that fit in the germaneness of that bill to have UAP disclosure.
[1:25:30 - 1:25:41] ▶
ones who are reporting on UAP.
[1:32:26 - 1:32:28] ▶
Thank you. Finally, I'd like to enter into the testimony, a letter I sent to the DOD regarding the case of Major David Charles Grush, a UAP whistleblower who's been extremely helpful to this committee.
[1:42:20 - 1:42:35] ▶
Unfortunately, due to his participation in the disclosure of UAP, he suffered reprisal, like the removal of his clearance, denial of promotion, and loss of medical retirement.
[1:42:35 - 1:42:45] ▶
And the other bill, the UAP Disclosure Act, which was filed last year, Senator Schumer, who I cannot believe that there's a topic that he and I agree on. But he and I agree on this topic. He is sponsored in the Senate. He put it on the National Defense Authorization Act last year. Remarkably, I can't get it on the, it was stripped out by the House last year, and I can't get it onto the bill leaving the House this year.
[1:46:31 - 1:46:58] ▶
The only person witnessed it, saw UAP at Vandenberg at a time frame, that was interviewed was the one that witnessed the thing land.
[1:53:19 - 1:53:28] ▶
You've interviewed numerous UAP whistleblowers over the years.
[1:55:48 - 1:55:51] ▶
What is the estimated annual budget, your view, for the program for investigating or reverse engineering UAP-related technology, including official, misappropriated, or black budget funds?
[2:01:31 - 2:01:42] ▶
Are any of you willing to name specific gatekeepers within the root cell of the UAP-SAP Federation?
[2:01:52 - 2:01:58] ▶
Is there a security classification guide for UAP or NHI?
[2:02:47 - 2:02:51] ▶
I remember in the 2003 or 2023 hearing, it was stated that all UAP-related material is classified secret or above.
[2:02:57 - 2:03:07] ▶
It's time that we pass the UAP disclosure act.
[2:29:17 - 2:29:20] ▶
