The House Intelligence Committee held a hearing about unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) earlier this morning, leading many to meme and speculate about what the official recognition of UFOs may mean for the world.

Top military officials testified to Congress about UFO sightings and unresolved questions surrounding the issue, officially acknowledging that there are and were things in the sky that the United States cannot identify, and which may be concerning for national security.

Those in the online UFO community, especially members of #ufotwitter, congratulated themselves and each other for their tireless advocacy for the disclosure of government information about unidentified flying objects.


Many expressed frustration at the UFO hearing, however, arguing that Congress could be doing more valuable things with its time than considering the existence of aliens. The criticism came from both sides of the political divide.

Others rejoiced in the absurdity of the situation and the turns that history is taking.

There remains, however, no word yet about the status of Area 51.

Tuned in for a bit and it mostly seemed aimed at assessing what exactly the UAP could've been, how reliable we can reproduce the effects that made the UAP look like that, and how well American sensors are at detecting these types of UAP. With the Bayraktars and civilian drones dramatically influencing the war in Ukraine it is vital that military intelligence can correctly identify the drones that likely caused this UAP.
