House task force hearing: Restoring Public Trust Through UAP Transparency

September 9, 2025 · House Oversight Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets

Three service veterans described what they saw at Vandenberg, off San Diego and at Langley, a Las Vegas reporter laid out 38 years of paper trail, and a watchdog lawyer explained why whistleblower law matters here.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna chaired, with Rep. Jasmine Crockett as ranking member. Former Air Force security officer Jeffrey Nuccetelli described five incidents at Vandenberg Air Force Base between 2003 and 2005, starting with a large glowing red square seen over two missile defence sites in October 2003.

Senior Chief Alexandro Wiggins, still serving in the Navy, said that in February 2023 the crew of USS Jackson watched a Tic Tac-shaped light rise from the sea off Southern California and join three others before all four left together. He said it was recorded on the ship's sensors.

Dylan Borland, a former Air Force imagery analyst, described a silent triangle about 100 feet long over Langley Air Force Base in the summer of 2012. KLAS-TV reporter George Knapp, covering the subject since 1987, spoke about documents rather than sightings. Joe Spielberger of the Project On Government Oversight argued for stronger whistleblower protection.

We sent information up, but no guidance came down.
