A committee meeting of planetary minds seeking answers from the U.S. government about extraterrestrial (ET) contact with humans kicked off today at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

The Citizen Hearing on Disclosure (CHD), which is being held from April 29 to May 3, includes more than 40 researchers and military/agency witnesses scheduled to testify for 30 hours over five days before former members of Congress and two experts of counsel.

According to a media release, the international spokesman for the group is Apollo 14 Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell (Capt. USN/NASA ret.).

?The CHD will attempt to accomplish what the Congress has failed to do for forty-five years,? the release said, ?seek out the facts surrounding the most important issue of this or any other time.

The last time Congress held a hearing on the matter was in 1968, according to CHD?s Stephen Bassett, despite the vast amount of evidence and witnesses that have come forward.

The committee is comprised of two Republicans and four Democrats/Libertarians: former Congresspersons Roscoe G. Bartlett (Rep., MD) & Merrill Cook (Rep., UT), Darlene Hooley (Dem., OR), Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick (Dem., MI), Lynn Woolsey (Dem., CA) and Senator Mike Gravel (Dem/Lib, AK).

On November 4, 2011, the White House issued a response to a citizen petition asking the Obama Administration to acknowledge an ET presence on Earth.

?The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race,? wrote Phil Larson for the White House. ?In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public?s eye.?

Stephen Basset, with the group Citizen Hearing on Disclosure, speaks at a press conference at the Sundance Film Festival in January.

CHD responded by claiming that from April 29 to May 3 the group would produce ?en masse? the evidence the White House says doesn?t exist.

?Let?s just get to the point, there are extraterrestrials here. The only thing we haven?t resolved yet is the government telling us that,? Bassett said at a press conference at the Sundance Film Festival in January.

?It?s fascinating to me that over half of the U.S. population believes that ETs and UFOs have been engaging humanity,? said Jeremy Kenyon at the Sundance press conference. ?It?s more than 50%, from all polls you ever get from this. This is something that people don?t readily talk about, but we have these witnesses such as Edgar Mitchell, an astronaut, an American hero, comes out on television and explains his perspective on this issue and it?s not picked up in a greater way.

?That?s mind boggling,? Kenyon added.

The secret is buried so deep that no one will be able to uncover it. Even if aliens were truth, the government would have to deny it. If they ever were to admit it, the entire world would panic.

Seek out the facts by starting with the conclusion that aliens have visited earth, Its logic jim but not as we know it.

Yeah, you can't claim you're seeking the truth if you already think you have it. Seeking truth means believing what the evidence can corroborate, not picking parts and putting them together in order to fit your existing belief.

^ I would not panic.

I have already accepted the truth.

You are not most people. The crazy religious people are the ones who I would expect to pitch the loudest fits. It would ruin their entire outlook on life.

There are certainly aliens, there are certainly aliens that have visited earth, there are certainly aliens watching the earth right now.

Now that you've read that is your first though "he's full of it", "Crazy", "delusional" or is it "really?". I have no proof to back any claims other than my memory for myself. I've seen them, twice. And none of this assures anyone of anything, and neither will anything anyone else has to say.

All evidence will be discredited and you will not know for certain (if you don't already) know that aliens exist in your, your childrens or their childrens lifetime. Humans just aren't ready, our ego's are still too large, we can't accept there is something better, we won't accept it. And it's a shame....

Keep in mind I might have been delusional both times, I have no history of mental illness though and have never seen anything else out of the ordinary. I might have seen a ghost once, but I think that was probably something else, nothing paranormal.

Starts with:

There are certainly aliens, there are certainly aliens that have visited earth, there are certainly aliens watching the earth right now.

Continues on...:

I have no proof to back any claims

Hmm.

Replace the word aliens with Jesus and people would tell you to stop talking to your imaginary friend in the sky. Neowin!

I do not think the world would panic unless the aliens are doing something bad to humans. However, governments and religions would have a problem coming up with excuses and maybe even controlling their people. I don't think it would change anything for humans unless they had an option to leave and left.

If aliens really did exist then why don't we know about it. Either they do not exist, have not visited earth yet, or they are concealing themselves. If they are concealing themselves and are government knows then it makes you wonder if they are collaborating with our governments. If they are collaborating with our governments then it leaves us to wonder why?

One thing is for sure. We cannot get along with ourselves so we probably would not get along with the aliens too. We would get in an argument with the aliens and then get violent because we would believe we are right and they are wrong. lol

Lol, pretty much.

I really don't see why everyone is so obsessed with this topic though. If there are aliens, great, if there are none, whatever. Life still goes on. It makes no difference to me until they start doing something. And as of right now, there isn't any clear evidence of it.

I'm all for finding answers, but they're using the philosophy of most religions and starting the discussion with the conclusion already in mind, instead of going into the discussion willing to learn that you could be either right or wrong.

As was the point I was trying to make. Very good eye, have you thought of doing detective work?

No, but I'd suggest you look into trying to understand basic reasoning, maybe then you can avoid making incomprehensible statements in the future.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • A different thing with Russia. When you say is it better, depends on things. It is better that we don't have the E.U making rules and laws that have nothing to do with them. Is the trading part better? No, that is really mucked up, but then we knew that was going to happen and we would have make agreements, like we do with other parts of the world. Freedom of movement is certainly better, but could be improved, we still need more control over our borders. do you live in the U.K?
    • So what am I quoting from them? I never listened to what Farage or his cronies said. I wanted the U.K to leave the E.u years before the referendum and it had nothing to do with Farage and his cronies. So what country do you live in? Did we work much better together? We were always at logger heads with the E.U because we disagreed with them so much. Maggie was always on at them. I would have thought the E.U was glad to get rid of us as we stopped the integration or made it a two tier. Now without us they can integrate more. I would not have voted out if it was just a trading block and we can still work together on somethings.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.
