China News Service, May 18 (Xinhua) According to a comprehensive report, on the 17th local time, a committee of the U.S. House of Representatives held a public hearing on UFOs.

　　The hearing was convened by the House Intelligence Committee's Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence and Counterproliferation Subcommittee, CNN reported.

Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security Ronald Moultrie and Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence Scott Bray attended the hearing and answered questions from members of Congress.

　　Rep. André Carson, a Democrat, who chaired the panel holding the hearing, began the hearing with a warning that the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena was a potential national security threat.

　　During the hearing, Bray demonstrated the suspected unidentified aerial phenomena observed and described the effort required to identify them through related video and imagery.

　　According to the British "Independent" report, Bray said that nothing has been detected to prove that the UFO is "non-terrestrial", but the researchers will continue to study through the data.

　　Bray also said that the United States shares data with people in some countries, and people in some countries also share data with the United States on such incidents.

　　Mutri encouraged that reporting of information on these incidents should become the norm.

　　Mutry also said that some U.S. government researchers are looking for extraterrestrial life, and that the goal of the U.S. is not to cover up something, but to understand what might exist.

　　The hearing, which lasted about an hour and a half, was followed by a closed-door, classified briefing in the House.

　　On June 25, 2021, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence submitted a report to Congress containing 144 incidents since 2004 that the U.S. government officially refers to as "unidentified aerial phenomena."

However, the report did not provide clear answers to many key questions.
