    Thia is not military spending. The claim and documents provided privately apparently show misappropriate funding for the retrieval and research of this with no oversight. If this is a secret military programme then it’s illegally funded and not complying with Congress notification, it’s a secret programme even from government. The least it is is a cover-up and significant fraud.

      The military misappropriates funds and dodges oversight constantly.

      That doesn’t, in any way, point to aliens.

      There are far better venues to reign in the military than a credulous hearing on UAPs.

      I think this is vital. Just because the military has legitimate secrets (weapons technology, strategies) doesn’t mean it can’t also have illegitimate secrets (crimes, waste of money, incompetence, anti-democratic conduct). It would be surprising if an institution as big as the US military didn’t have it’s fair share of both types.
