The recent hearing on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) has sent shockwaves through Congress, and conservative lawmakers are not taking the situation lightly. During the hearing, whistleblower David Grusch dropped bombshell after bombshell, but was unfortunately prevented from providing all the information he had due to an absurd clearance issue. This denial of access to a SCIF has sparked outrage among conservative Congressmembers, who are demanding answers and action.

Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee, who was a key participant in the hearing, has revealed that attempts to gain access to a SCIF were rebuffed, leaving lawmakers unable to learn the full extent of what is known about these mysterious aerial phenomena. This is unacceptable and must be rectified immediately.
During the hearing, Grusch repeatedly stated that he could only disclose certain information to cleared members of Congress inside of a SCIF. However, when Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) attempted to gain entry, she was inexplicably denied access. This constitutes a grave breach of national security, as critical information pertaining to UAP remains locked away from lawmakers who need it most.
Despite this setback, Burchett and several other lawmakers have co-signed a letter demanding a Select Committee with full subpoena authority be established. This committee would be outside the jurisdiction of any standing committee and would enable lawmakers to get to the bottom of this matter quickly and effectively.
The urgency of the situation cannot be overstated. It is unacceptable that potentially groundbreaking information is being held back from elected officials. More witnesses have come forward since the hearing, adding weight to the argument that the government is holding back information. Congressional leadership must act now before it is too late.
The people deserve answers. They demand transparency and honesty from their government officials. Conservative lawmakers are not willing to let this issue go quietly into the night. It is time for action. It is time to get to the bottom of what is happening in our skies and ensure our national security is protected.
