Incredible never-before-seen image of cruise ship-sized UFO flying underneath commercial US plane

Thank you for following DailyMail.com’s coverage of the UFO congressional briefing.

Dr Anna Brady-Estevez, a founding partner of American DeepTech, a technology investment firm, revealed that companies in the private sector are allegedly building new inventions based on alien systems.

Brady-Estevez, who previously worked with NASA on space economic policy, said she had funded entrepreneurs who described their inventions as being inspired by UFOs.

‘They were working on advanced energy. They were working on advanced communications,’ the tech investor explained.

‘I funded companies working on what the entrepreneurs later described as UAP-adjacent or UAP-inspired technologies,’ Brady-Estevez added.

She added that these inventors were not allowed to go into detail about their tech because of the classified nature of the research.

Mike Gold, a former NASA associate administrator, revealed the amazing images sitting in the space agency’s archives that have yet to be investigated as possible UAPs.

Gold, the current president of civil and international space at tech company Redwire revealed several shocking images of unexplained phenomena that has been photographed by NASA on Mars and the moon.

Those images included another sighting of the so-called ‘Tic Tac’ UFO, which recently appeared on the surface of Mars after multiple sightings over the Pacific Ocean.

‘Why are we not investigating this?’ Gold asked.

‘It’s certainly worth the effort to investigate and we’re not doing it!’ he added.

A newly publshed poll found that 44 percent of Americans believe that the government is hiding information about the existance of UAPs, while 28 percent disagree and another 28 percent are unsure.

The poll, conducted by NewsNation/Decision Desk HQ, surveyed 521 Republicans, 559 Democrats, 349 independents and 18 ‘other’ voters.

Young Americans were found to be especially suspiscious of the government’s UAP knowledge, with 49 percent of Gen Z respondents and 48 percent of millenials claiming that federal officials know more than they’re letting on, compared to just 39 percent of baby boomers.

Republicans were also revealed to be more suspiscious than Democrats or Independants, with 48 percent saying the government hides UAP information. Just 39 percent of Democrats and 44 percent of Independants felt the same.

Former military intelligence official Luis Elizondo held up an unvetted photo of a UAP taken by a civilian pilot Thursday.

According to the Pentagon whistleblower, the image came from a regular camera, taken at 21,000 feet as the enormous silver craft hovered over the ground.

The UFO was said to be approximately 1,000 feet long, the size of a ocean cruise ship.

Elizondo highlighted the uncertainty that military, commercial, and civilian aviators face when they witness and/or document UAPs in US airspace: ‘Do they report it to the FAA? Do they report it to NORAD? Maybe the airforce?’ he asked.

‘Once again, you would think this information would be important for somebody to look at,’ he added.

‘If these are over sensitive military installations, whose are they? What are their capabilities? What is the intent?’

Intelligence community expert Christopher Mellon added on Thursday that the military has recently submitted roughly 1,800 reports involving UFOs in just the last few years.

The reports went to AARO, the Defense Department’s office for investigating and assessing the threat posed by UFOs and UAPs.

They add to a growing list of events that the US military have taken as serious threats to national security.

There are dozens of unsolved cases going back to the 1960s that occurred over nuclear missile installations, Navy ships, and a desert in New Mexico.

The FBI, CIA, and other government branches have spent years looking into these reports, but have yet to determine what the objects were and where they came from.

In just the last few months, the skies over New Jersey were filled with unidentified aircraft and drones that required a formal response from both the Biden and Trump presidencies.

Christopher Mellon, a national security expert who spent nearly 20 years in the US intelligence community, suggested that there is a massive coverup of data that would prove the extistence of UFOs visiting Earth.

During his presentation at Thursday’s hearing, Mellon revealed that the US government has some of the most powerful radar and satellite technology on Earth but has somehow never recorded any information about UAPs.

‘Either we’ve spent billions of dollars on a system that’s not performing as it should be… or it’s simply so highly classified the information is not reaching AARO,’ Mellon said.

AARO is the military’s department which assesses the potential threat from UAPs.

Mellon noted that the Solid State Phased Array Radar System is one of the most powerful sensor systems on the planet, which would be detected by any extraterrestrial civilization anywhere near Earth.

However, the radar system has made zero reports of UAPs to AARO over the last 20 years.

‘How is that possible?’ Mellon asked.

Mellon called on the US Inspector General to look into the lack of reporting coming from key military radar posts regarding UFO sightings.

This comes despite documented reports that the military has scrambled aircraft to follow UFOs they’ve detected near US airspace.

Tim Gallaudet, a retired Navy Rear Admiral at Thursday’s UFO hearing, says a secret military document was removed from his computer without his permission.

Admiral Gallaudet said the classifed memo described the urgent need to address near-misses Navy pilots were having with UFOs.

Gallaudet, who was in charge of safety and flight while serving as the chief meteorologist in the Navy, said the email had an infamous UFO video attached to it.

The email, which sought urgent information about the origin of the UFO threatening Navy planes, was mysteriously wiped from his computer a day after the admiral received it.

‘It didn’t sit well with me,’ Gallaudet said.

He added that it’s the reason he’s gone public with what he knows and why he’s calling on the White House to disclose what the government knows about UFOs.

Research physicist Dr Eric Davis said during Thursday’s hearing that the US government has been operating a secret program that recovers crashed UFOs since the presidency of Dwight Eisenhower in the 1950s.

Dr Davis worked as a subcontractor and then a consultant for the Pentagon UFO program since 2007.

According to him, the secret program originated after the discovery of a crashed UFO in 1944.

Since then, Davis claimed much of the technology recovered from these wrecks over the years has been secretly moved to Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.

All of this activity, Davis said, was being done without congressional oversight or approval, with project code names regularly changing every few years to cover up the Defense Department’s actions.

He previously said that examination of some materials recovered by the program failed to determine their source and led him to conclude, ‘we couldn’t make it ourselves.’

A retired US Navy admiral slammed an alleged ‘disinformation’ campaign by the US intelligence community which he claimed was covering up military sightings of UFOs.

Tim Gallaudet, a retired Navy Rear Admiral, spoke at Thursday’s hearing, claiming that the Navy ‘has a trove’ of data on UFO sightings from pilots and other personnel who have spotted UAPs while on duty – much of which has not been officially released.

Admiral Gallaudet publicly called on the White House to reveal this information and noted that he had just received reports from members of the Navy who had been involved in recent UFO sightings.

He also compared the urgency needed on this topic to the current climate change emergency researchers are well funded to study in depth.

During the hearing, Loeb referenced fragments of metal that he and his colleagues recovered from the Pacific Ocean in 2023.

The remnants came from a meteor-like object that originated from ‘interstellar space’ and crashed off the coast of Papua New Guinea in 2014. Loeb has not ruled out the possibility that this object could have been an alien craft, or part of one.

‘This is a historic discovery because it represents the first time that humans put their hand on materials from a large object that arrived to Earth from outside the solar system, he said at the time.

Loeb is working to raise funds for another expedition to the location where these fragments were recovered to look for more physical evidence of alien technology.

Avi Loeb told Thursday’s congressional hearing that ‘there are objects in the sky that we don’t understand’ while explaining the need for increased funding for UFO detection.

Loeb said that at least one billion dollars needs to be committed to improving America’s efforts to track and monitor the movements of UFOs and UAPs.

The Harvard astrophysicist added that he was upset with the lack of data available currently in terms of tracking objects flying over our skies.

Loeb went to discuss the possibility of alien civilizations that could have developed long before humans developed into a modern society.

Days before Thursday’ hearing, the whistleblower behind a stunning report submitted to Congress – exposing what he claims is a secret Pentagon program tracking unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) – revealed his identity and says he fears for his future after speaking out.

Matthew Brown, a former US national security official, publicly identified himself as the whistleblower on an episode of WEAPONIZED – a podcast released Tuesday that is hosted by investigative journalists and UFO experts Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp.

Brown is the author of the Immaculate Constellation Field Report, a document entered into the Congressional Record earlier this year that alleges the Executive Branch has been secretly managing UAP programs for decades – without congressional oversight.

One of today’s main speakers is Avi Loeb, an Israeli-American astrophysicist at Harvard University.

For years, Loeb has been a prominent advocate for more scientific investigation UAP sightings, hypothesizing that extraterrestrials have already visited Earth, and that we may have recovered physical evidence of their technologies.

During the hearing, he plans to give a presentation advocating for more funding for UAP research and urging the US government to share ‘any data or materials concerning what lies outside the solar system.’

Months before Thursday’s briefing, Luis Elizondo, a former military intelligence official turned UFO whistleblower told Congress that there was proof of alien life being kept from the public.

During his testimony back on November 14, 2024, he blasted the US intelligence community for ‘excessive secrecy’ of UAP reports that had lasted decades, adding that it was ‘all to hide the fact that we are not alone in the cosmos.’

Elizondo resigned from his position, running the Pentagon’s program to investigate UFO sightings to 10 years, and went public with what he knew in October 2017.

On Thursday, Elizondo is serving as the moderator for this new hearing on UFOs.
