In a recent development that has sparked intrigue and speculation, unidentified flying objects (UFOs) have reportedly been sighted around U.S. nuclear sites.
These sightings, which date back to the 1940s and 50s, have been brought to light by whistleblowers. However, Jennifer Granholm, the Secretary of the Department of Energy (DOE), has dismissed these sightings as merely drones, according to Fox News.
During a Congressional Oversight Committee hearing on May 23, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., confronted Granholm with a series of probing questions. Luna inquired whether the DOE was involved in reverse engineering alien technology and if it collaborated with a counter-terrorism task force. Granholm's responses, "I have no knowledge of that," and "Yes," respectively, have been deemed significant by experts.
The exchange between Luna and Granholm, which lasted approximately five minutes, was part of a 2.5-hour hearing. Luna's final question, "Does the DOE work with JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command)?" stirred up considerable interest on social media platforms. Initially, Granholm evaded the question, but upon Luna's insistence, she confirmed, "Yes, we do."
Jeremy Corbell, an investigative journalist and leading UFO expert, described this admission as a "bold move by Congress." JSOC is a military task force that operates under the U.S. Special Operations Command, planning and executing special operations missions. Whistleblowers have previously suggested that JSOC collaborated with the DOE to recover crashed alien crafts and reverse engineer the technology, a claim Corbell supports.
"JSOC is likely hardcore involved with the crash retrieval program, under the authority of the CIA, so the DOE having to admit they work with JSOC is a big deal," Corbell told Fox News Digital. "Sec. Granholm did not like having to admit that."
Despite these claims, JSOC has consistently denied any involvement in such activities. Fox News Digital reached out to JSOC for a comment but received no response.
In an email to Fox News Digital, Luna expressed her frustration with Granholm's dismissive attitude towards the topic of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs). She emphasized that over half of Americans believe in the potential existence of UAPs, and therefore, the federal government should take the matter seriously.
"I directly confronted Energy Secretary Granholm with multiple reports, as well as a statement by the Pentagon, and she still denied the facts. That's why I believe the American people have lost faith in our government to be transparent," Luna stated.
The Florida Republican lawmaker's engagement with the DOE didn't end with her exchange with Granholm. Luna submitted nine questions to the DOE, which were exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital. A DOE spokesperson confirmed receipt of the questions and promised to respond directly to the Committee and Congresswoman.
Before Luna's interaction with Granholm, Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., had questioned the DOE secretary about "suspicious occurrences" of UFOs around nuclear facilities. Granholm seemed taken aback by the question and responded by stating that the Department of Defense found no evidence of UFOs or aliens. However, she did acknowledge the possibility of "nefarious" drones and assured that safety protocols and defenses were in place.
A recently declassified document about a UFO program called Kona Blue reveals the government's plan to collect crashed alien tech for reverse engineering. Former U.S. Sen. Harry Reid mentioned in a June 2009 letter that "much progress has been made with the identification of several highly sensitive, unconventional aerospace-related findings."
The Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), a specialized wing of the Pentagon tasked with investigating UAPs, mentioned Kona Blue in its report. The program was proposed to Homeland Security leadership but was never approved or formally established. According to the AATIP, Homeland Security disapproved of the project and directed its immediate termination in 2011, citing concerns about the adequacy of justification for the program.
