A former Pentagon official testified to Congress that the U.S. government has evidence that "we are not alone in the cosmos," but that a "cabal" of officials is hiding the information.

The official, Luiz Elizondo, is the former head of the Defense Department's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), which was tasked with investigating Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs). He and other witnesses testified before the House Oversight Committee.

"Excessive secrecy has lead to grave misdeeds against loyal civil servants, military personnel and the public, all to hide the fact that we are not alone in the cosmos," Elizondo said, later calling the group a "cabal."

"A small cadre within our own government involving the UAP topic has created a culture of suppression and intimidation that I have personally been victim to, along with many of my former colleagues," he continued.

"I believe that we as Americans can handle the truth. And I also believe the world deserves the truth," he said.

The hearing is part of a larger effort by lawmakers to investigate UAPs and determine whether elements within the government are unlawfully withholding evidence from Congress.

One of the key programs involved in the issue is the Pentagon's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).

AARO’s mission is to synchronize efforts across the DoD and other U.S. federal departments and agencies to "detect, identify and attribute objects of interest" in or around military facilities or airspace, which could pose a threat to safety of operations or national security — this includes anomalous, unidentified space, airborne, submerged and trans-medium objects.
