Read the full account
What was said. Elizondo testified that the US government has recovered UAP and non-human biologics through programs it has hidden from Congress. Gallaudet described a 2015 email with UAP video that was withdrawn within hours. Gold called for NASA to treat UAP scientifically. Shellenberger read from a report describing a compartmented program named Immaculate Constellation that allegedly collects imagery of UAP. Asked whether he had been read into that program, Elizondo said he could neither confirm nor deny. (FACT about the testimony.)
What the corpus adds. A next-day episode reviews the hearing, plays Shellenberger explaining how the whistleblower came to him, and notes Elizondo's answer on Immaculate Constellation. (FACT about testimony.)
Explanations offered. Skeptics argue nothing new was documented and that the program name is unverified; supporters note that the report was entered into the record and that the Pentagon did not appear. (INFERENCE.)
