WEDNESDAY PDB โ UFOs have landed on Earth. And we have their tech. At least it appears that way to senior lawmakers on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Congress doubles down on explosive claims of illegal UFO retrieval programs.
Asked June 26 about allegations of secret UFO retrieval and reverse-engineering programs, Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Marco Rubio, R-Fla., made several stunning statements.
In an exclusive interview, Rubio said that multiple individuals with โvery high clearances and high positions within our governmentโ โhave come forward to shareโ โfirst-handโ UFO-related claims โbeyond the realm of what [the Senate Intelligence Committee] has ever dealt with.โ
The claims of government agencies illegally keeping these things from Congress has produced outrage among lawmakers.
Rubio's comments provide context for a bipartisan provision adopted unanimously by the Senate Intelligence Committee, which would immediately halt funding for any secret government or contractor efforts to retrieve and reverse-engineer craft of โnon-earthโ or โexoticโ origin.
It would also require those with knowledge of such efforts to come forth and inform Congress.
