confirmed2022· U.S. Capitol, Washington, D.C.

On May 17, 2022, the House Intelligence Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence and Counterproliferation held the first public congressional UAP hearing in more than 50 years, at which Pentagon officials Ronald Moultrie and Scott Bray disclosed the UAP database had grown to approximately 400 reports.

Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence Scott Bray displayed a newly declassified video of a spherical UAP briefly transiting a Navy pilot's field of view during a training flight. Bray acknowledged no explanation had been found for the object. The previous public hearing on the topic had been held in 1969.
