JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Has the U.S. Government recovered alien spacecraft and hid it not only from the American people but congressional leaders?
That’s the allegation made in a whistle-blower complaint making national headlines.

Members of Congress are taking it seriously, including Northeast Florida Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL, 6th District).
The bombshell allegation comes from an Air Force veteran turned whistleblower, who worked on the task force charged by Congress to investigate cases of unidentified aerial phenomena.

“He certainly seems to be very credible,” Waltz said.
Waltz serves on the House Intelligence Committee.
“We are essentially the American people’s oversight of what we keep secret,” Waltz said.

Waltz contended the whistleblower’s claim that the U.S. Government has not only recovered craft of nonhuman origin but hid those discoveries from Congress, would be incredibly disturbing if found to be true.
“In my view, if this is some type of alien craft or just something we completely out of this world can’t explain, then in my view, that’s something that American people deserve to know,” Waltz said.
This isn’t the first time UFOs have caught national headlines in recent years.

In 2019, a series of videos showing unidentified aerial phenomena captured by Navy pilots were confirmed as legitimate by the Pentagon.
Some of those videos were captured off the coast of Jacksonville.
Waltz argued understanding what these objects are is of great significance to national security.

“Either our adversaries have things that we can’t explain; that’s not good. Or it’s otherworldly and that is a whole other, obviously, can of worms,” Waltz said.
The House Oversight Committee has already announced it will be investigating the latest whistleblower complaint.
Waltz told Action News Jax he’ll be pushing for answers in the Intelligence Committee as well, to find out if government programs as described in the complaint have been kept secret from Congress.
