US lawmakers held a high-profile hearing on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), featuring dramatic testimony from military veterans and other witnesses. One witness recalled friends screaming during a 2003 UFO encounter, while another described a “self-luminous” object rising from the ocean in 2023 before merging with three others that vanished into the sky.
