MEMORANDUM
July 21, 2023
To: Members, Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs
From: Committee Staff
Re: Subcommittee hearing titled “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Implications on
National Security, Public Safety, and Government Transparency”
On Wednesday, July 26, 2023, at 10:00 AM ET in 2154 Rayburn House Office
Building, the Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs will host a
hearing titled “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Implications on National Security, Public
Safety, and Government Transparency.”
I. BACKGROUND:
Recent declassifications, the creation of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office
(AARO), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA)
upcoming report have spurred widespread public interest in unidentified anomalous
phenomena (UAP). With the Federal Government spending increasingly more
taxpayer dollars investigating these instances, Congress must conduct thorough
oversight to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse and to ensure the safety of the American
public.
II. HEARING PURPOSE:
This hearing will examine firsthand accounts from former pilots’ and officials’ UAP
experiences, the reporting mechanisms for commercial and military pilots, and assess
government transparency relating to public safety and the implications to national
security.
III. WITNESSES:
Mr. Ryan Graves
Executive Director
Americans for Safe Aerospace
Mr. David Grusch
Former National Reconnaissance Office Representative
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, Department of Defense
