It wouldn’t be the first time a whistleblower has stunned the US Congress with an extraordinary revelation, but last week’s hearings were truly stranger than fiction.
Not one but three military witnesses testified about their experiences of UFOs, otherwise known as UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomena).
In this week’s episode of The i Podcast we’re joined by science writer, Stuart Ritchie, and senior reporter, Richard Holmes, as we explore the line between fact and fiction in these extraordinary testimonies.
Former intelligence official David Grusch told Republican Representative Nancy Mace the federal government held the "non-human" biological remains of the pilots of a crashed craft and the allegations didn't end there.
Mr Grusch said he is now in fear for his life for speaking openly about the discoveries, claiming the Pentagon has a secretive multi-decade programme to collect and piece together crashed UAPs.
The Pentagon, meanwhile, disputes claims of a cover-up, having released footage of US Navy pilots chasing disc-like objects whizzing through the sky for the public to see in 2020.
But Congress members from both sides of the aisle are now demanding more transparency to answer a long-standing question – are UFOs real?
