A House panel held the first public congressional hearing on unidentified flying objects in more than half a century on Tuesday, with top Pentagon officials saying the number of "unidentified aerial phenomena" (UAP), more commonly known as UFOs (Unidentified Flying Object), reported by pilots and service members had grown to about 400.
“不明空中现象是
潜在的国家安全威胁”
据CNN报道,此次听证会由众议院情报委员会的反恐、反间谍和反扩散小组委员会召开。
The hearing was convened by the House Intelligence Committee’s Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation subcommittee.
Democratic Rep. André Carson of Indiana, the chairman of the panel holding the hearing, warned in his opening remarks, “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena are a potential national security threat. And they need to be treated that way.”
听证会上,布雷通过相关的视频和图像展示了观察到的疑似不明空中现象,并讲述了识别它们需要付出的努力。
During his testimony, Scott Bray showed video and images to demonstrate what observations of UAPs may look like – and the effort it takes to try to identify what they might be.
“Our goal is not to potentially cover up something if we find something; it’s to understand what may be out there and examine what it may mean for us from a defense perspective.”
听证会进行了约一个半小时,结束后,众议院还举行了一次闭门的机密简报会。
The public portion of the event lasted fewer than 90 minutes. Following the conclusion of the public hearing, the panel held a closed-door, classified briefing Tuesday afternoon.
