Congress has a full plate of hearings coming up. Everything from medical liability reform, creating and promoting jobs and investigating Internet child pornography to assessing China's behavior and making immigration work for American minorities.

Do you think the House or Senate will have any extra time to discuss UFOs? While it sometimes might seem as though our lawmakers are from outer space, this hasn't stopped one college professor from urging Congress to take a serious look at unidentified flying objects.

Citing findings from a 12-year-old groundbreaking French UFO study, University of Missouri-Columbia psychologist and adjunct professor of peace studies Bill Wickersham has issued a call for congressional leaders to boldly go where their predecessors wouldn't.





In 1999, a special 13-member committee in France, made up of retired generals, scientists and space experts, created the COMETA Report, a study of 500 worldwide UFO sightings. The investigation narrowed down the reports to those that included radar and visual cases and previously undisclosed accounts from commercial and military pilots.

Congress Faces a UFO Inquiry amidst a Full Agenda As Congress returns from recess, they're set to confront a packed agenda, ranging from medical liability reform and job creation to immigration reform and investigations into serious political issues. Yet, one intriguing topic that stands apart—unidentified flying objects (UFOs)—is under appeal for consideration from within the academic community. Bill Wickersham, a psychologist and adjunct professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia, has publicly urged congressional leaders to explore this enigmatic subject more thoroughly. Citing a landmark study known as the COMETA Report, conducted by a panel of experts in France back in 1999, Wickersham advocates for a candid discourse surrounding UFO sightings and extraterrestrial issues. This report, unveiled by a committee that included retired generals and scientists, meticulously analyzed 500 worldwide sightings, narrowing down to those cases featuring corroborative radar data and eyewitness accounts from pilots. The significance of the COMETA Report hasn't waned; it remains a crucial piece of research for those intrigued by UFO phenomena. The committee concluded that about 5% of cases studied were inexplicable by conventional means, leading to what was termed the extraterrestrial hypothesis. They proposed that it’s plausible some UFOs could be advanced technology from beyond our planet. This notion triggers both excitement and skepticism, inviting Congress to reflect on the implications of extraterrestrial contact and national security. In light of increasing public interest in topics like this—the emergence of former government and military officials making headlines in the UFO discourse—one must ask: will UFOs find their way onto the House or Senate docket as serious matters of national inquiry? The need for clarity and transparency on government acknowledgment of UFOs opens the door for crucial discussions not just for lawmakers but for the general public.​
