This is the transcript of the open session of a hearing on unidentified aerial phenomena, held on 17 May 2022 by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence's Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence, and Counterproliferation. Under Secretary Ronald Moultrie and Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence Scott Bray testified on the new AOIMSG office, efforts to reduce stigma in reporting, and a UAP database of about 400 reports. Bray showed videos, explained flashing triangles as drones seen through night vision goggles, and called the 2004 Nimitz incident unresolved.

when we reference that in the report, I should say that we were simply accounting for the
fact that there could possibly be one or two data points that had leaked through, but we
were quite confident that was not the explanation.
Chairman Carson. How are you all liaising with space command? Specifically,
how are you partnering with the parts of the U.S. base command responsible for space
domain awareness? And how, if at all, are you partnering with the Space Force to
analyze UAPs?
Mr. Bray. The UAP Task Force has a very good relationship with Space Force as it
does with the rest of the Department of Defense. We have pulled analysts in from
Space Force to ensure that we are availing ourselves of that expertise as well as any other
material they may have that would be helpful.
Mr. Moultrie. And, Congressman, as you know, Space Force and Space
Command, they have responsibility for space domain awareness. So what we have
done, we coordinated with Space Force, we coordinated with their J-2. And she is on
board in terms of helping us plug into what they have and for us to have this interactive
exchange of information and data. And we are doing that with all the services, not just
with Space Force or Space Command.
Chairman Carson. Thank you, sir.
Ranking member, any additional questions? All right.
Chairman Schiff? All right.
With that, I want to thank you all for taking the time out.
I also want to thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for participating in
this very historical and important hearing. I think it is one of the few times we can
demonstrate some degree of bipartisanship around UAPs and UFOs. So I love it. I
appreciate it. Thank you.
