Three more U.S. senators received a classified Pentagon briefing on Wednesday about a series of reported encounters by the Navy with unidentified aircraft, according to congressional and military officials — part of a growing number of requests from members of key oversight committees.
One of them was Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, whose office confirmed the briefing to POLITICO.
“If naval pilots are running into unexplained interference in the air, that’s a safety concern Senator Warner believes we need to get to the bottom of,” his spokesperson, Rachel Cohen, said in a statement.
The interest in “unidentified aerial phenomenon” has grown since revelations in late 2017 that the Pentagon had set up a program to study the issue at the request of then-Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.). Officials interviewed multiple current and former sailors and aviators who claim to have encountered highly advanced aircraft that appeared to defy the laws of aerodynamics when they intruded on protected military airspace — some of which were captured on video and made public.
The Navy has played a prominent role in light of the testimony of F/A-18 pilots and other personnel operating with the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier battle group off California in 2004 and the USS Theodore Roosevelt in the Atlantic in 2015 and 2016.
The growing congressional interest is credited for playing a major role in the service’s recent decision to update the procedures for reporting such unexplained sightings, which POLITICO first reported in April.
“Navy officials did indeed meet with interested congressional members and staffers on Wednesday to provide a classified brief on efforts to understand and identify these threats to the safety and security of our aviators,” spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Daniel Day said in a statement.
He said “follow-up discussions with other interested staffers” were also scheduled for Thursday. “Navy officials will continue to keep interested congressional members and staff informed. Given the classified nature of these discussions, we will not comment on the specific information provided in these Hill briefings.”
The briefings come several days after President Donald Trump told ABC News that he, too, had been briefed on the reports. “I did have one very brief meeting on it,” he said. “But people are saying they’re seeing UFOs. Do I believe it? Not particularly.”
But several current and former officials with direct knowledge describe the Capitol Hill briefing as the latest for members of Congress and their staff representing the Intelligence, Armed Services and Defense Appropriations panels.
“There are people coming out of the woodwork,” said one former government official who has participated in some of the meetings.
A current intelligence official added: “More requests for briefings are coming in.”
The sessions have been organized by the Navy but have also included staff from the under secretary of Defense for Intelligence, the sources said. Both were not authorized to talk publicly about the briefings.
Advocates for giving the mystery greater attention say they hope Congress will take more formal steps, such as requiring the Department of Defense to collect and complete a detailed analysis of data collected by satellites and other means of unidentified craft intruding into military airspace or operating under the sea.

Lying POS.
You’ve been briefed on ALL that sh#t by now… you know they exist, and just who/what they are.
you talking about those stinkin diaper wearing freaks from the planet Uranus
Not this time, mary.
Although they may be interchangeable with the aliens in ‘They Live’, not so in the real world… if you believe what the Bible says about them.
This is a long video, but well worth the watch… I believe Chuck has it right…

I’ve seen some weird shit in the night sky man, I firmly believe in UFO’s. I mean how the HELL can we be the only JOO haters out there?
You know that the wall humping thing must have freaked them out! They keep comin down to take a closer look!
lol
If this information is true, Mark, then far from being ‘joo haters’, they are actually in league with the stinking bast@rds.
Satan’s minions.
That aside, I saw a UFO in Canada back in ’72. What it did… no human could have withstood the centrifugal forces involved and survived (hell, they’d have been turned inside out, literally) I’ve talked to numerous credible people over my lifetime who have seen them as well.
These f%&kers DO exist, and they’re NOT from another planet.
I watched it…the whole thing
I really have seen lights in the Arizona night sky when I was at flight school. Stone cold straight, no drugs or alchohol.
These lights were doing things you would not believe. They definitely were UFO’S. This was 35 years ago. These lights were dancing crazy fast traveling hundreds of miles a second. There were three of them traveling incredibly close together.
I’ve seen this a couple of times moving in crazy directions up down sideways, crazy fast. No way do we have anything that can do this.
These things play with us.
So did I last night, mary.
I’m disappointed… a friend of mine gave me a copy with that title about 8 or 9 years ago. Much of the info in the link above was in it, but not all of it. He had a lot more to say about the ten dimensions & about the so-called ‘aliens’ piloting the UFOs. There is another one on YouTube that’s an hour longer, that might have been the one I had on dvd (lost yrs. ago). That one may have been a different presentation altogether, at another time & location.
He’s an excellent orator though, isn’t he?
