Representative Carson on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Report

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Today, Representative André Carson (D-IN), who chaired the first open congressional hearing on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) in 50 years, made the following statement on the release of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence's public report on UAP:

"This report shows a key goal of our public hearing was achieved: to help destigmatize UAP reporting. By bringing this issue into the light and increasing public awareness, UAP reports have increased, ensuring the U.S. government has all the information on important issues of national security. I appreciate the collaboration of Chair Adam Schiff and other Members who have worked on this issue and look forward to continue learning more facts about these phenomena."
