Can the Senate Intel Committee Unveil the CIA’s UFO Program?
The recent establishment of a congressional task force aimed at working with the executive branch on declassifying UFO information seems promising. However, it’s high time we examine why the Senate has withheld critical information from whistleblowers like David Grusch, Eric Davis, and numerous other first-hand witnesses who have shed light on the crash retrieval program.
Here’s a brief overview of what the Senate is aware of: In the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Disclosure Act (UAPDA), introduced by Chuck Schumer and the Intelligence Committee, they acknowledge the existence of witnesses and evidence showing that the executive branch has exploited loopholes in the Atomic Energy Act to conceal UFO-related information from Congress for many years. They possess hours of classified testimony from Grusch detailing the findings from his investigations. Additionally, Eric Davis has provided insights into the transfer of UFO technology initially intended to move from Lockheed Martin to AAWSAP, which I discussed in a previous report. Witness Jake Barber testified about his extensive experience in the crash retrieval program. Senator Marco Rubio stated that numerous high-ranking officials have testified to the committee based on personal experiences. Notably, attorney Danny Sheehan, renowned for defending journalists’ right to publish the Pentagon Papers, represents UFO whistleblowers and is mentioned in the UAPDA as a potential member of the declassification review panel. In a recent interview, Sheehan indicated that the Senate Intel Committee is aware of the UFO recovered from the Roswell crash in 1947, taken to Wright Patterson Air Force Base. He also mentioned that a group akin to Majestic 12 was formed in the 1950s to oversee the issue. The Senate has been informed that video evidence of a UFO landing at Holleman AFB exists but remains inaccessible, and that at least one extraterrestrial has been detained and interviewed.
Many speculate that the Senate is keeping this information under wraps to protect some top-secret operation related to accessing the program. I need more than speculation to believe that. History shows that the Intelligence Committee often opts for the easiest path when faced with the Intelligence Community’s transgressions.
The Senate Cover-Up of the CIA’s Illegal Kidnapping and Torture Program
After the CIA’s kidnapping and torture scandal broke in 2007, the Senate was compelled to investigate, resulting in a comprehensive 6,900-page report made up of official CIA policies, internal documents, communications, and interviewed participants. Yet, the entire report remains classified and not available to the public, leaving only an executive summary of the findings.
The CIA was exposed for committing profoundly immoral acts such as sleep deprivation, beatings, and waterboarding, often on innocent individuals, all without warrants or trials.
A significant aspect of this narrative is the overt cover-up. Jose Rodriguez, the director of operations, ordered the destruction of torture tapes, reportedly saying, “the heat from destroying would be nothing compared to what it would be if the tapes ever got into the public domain.”
Moreover, the CIA was found to have spied on the Senate Intel Committee as they investigated the agency, which then-chair Dianne Feinstein described as intimidation. An Inspector General report confirmed that not only did the CIA monitor the committee’s communication, but they also accessed a secure server used in the investigation, deleting evidence already collected.
Ultimately, the Intelligence Committee failed to recommend prosecution for anyone involved in the scandal of torture, evidence destruction, or attempts to intimidate the Senate. The 6,900-page report that exposed these activities remains classified and largely ignored, with the Senate demonstrating a reluctance to confront the CIA.
Fast forward to today, and that same committee is probing yet another clandestine operation concealed by the CIA and others. The question arises: what has changed? The dynamic between the Senate and the Intelligence Community seems as problematic as ever, with no consequences for previous misdeeds.

Your post raises some critical points about the Senate Intel Committee and its handling of information regarding the CIA’s alleged UFO programs, particularly in light of past failings related to oversight. It’s frustrating to see such a wealth of testimony from credible whistleblowers, like David Grusch and Eric Davis, seemingly ignored or buried under layers of bureaucracy.
Your concerns about accountability in the face of historical failures, such as the torture report, resonate deeply. The parallels you draw between the Committee’s past actions and its current inaction regarding UFO disclosures are alarming. The notion that the Senate may be complicit in attempting to shield information from the public, particularly from witnesses who have bravely come forward, raises serious moral and ethical questions.
Your call for transparency—encouraging lawmakers to publicly discuss what they know regardless of classification—underscores a fundamental democratic principle. Lawmakers have a duty to their constituents to ensure that any claims of government misconduct are scrutinized and addressed rather than swept under the rug. The historical context you’ve provided, wherein major findings were kept classified, contributes to a growing sense of distrust regarding the motives behind current investigations.
Ultimately, for any genuine progress to occur, public pressure and demand for accountability will be essential. The more citizens advocate for transparency and follow the details of these investigations, the greater the likelihood that lawmakers will feel compelled to act decisively. In a democracy, openness and accountability should always be prioritized over secrecy. Thank you for bringing this important conversation to the forefront!
