## Resource

Recently, Congress held another UAP hearing! This one was primarily focused on the need to protect whistleblowers from reprisals. We were shown an unusual video of a missile appearing to bounce off a UAP, and we heard from three new military witnesses, including our first active-duty witness. Plus, legendary journalist George Knapp brought the receipts, naming names involved in the now-famous attempted transfer of UAP material from Lockheed Martin to BASS, which was shut down by the CIA, as well as a huge pile of UAP paperwork he smuggled out of Soviet-era Russia!
