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

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

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.

    • Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.

Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.
