A group of lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives are pushing for a select committee to continue investigating Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena or UAPs, and it seems like this rare display of bipartisanship has caught everyone by surprise. It’s not often that Republicans and Democrats can come together on anything, but apparently, the mystery of UFOs is enough to unite our divided government.
Now, I don’t know about you, but when I think of the important issues facing our country, UFOs don’t exactly top the list. But hey, what do I know? Maybe these lawmakers have seen one too many episodes of “The X-Files” and now they think aliens are hiding in the shadows, ready to abduct us all. I mean, talk about priorities, right?
In a letter to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, the lawmakers argue that the Pentagon has been keeping Congress in the dark about these so-called UAPs. They’re demanding a select committee with subpoena power to get to the bottom of it all. Because apparently, finding out if little green men are buzzing around our skies is more important than, oh, I don’t know, fixing our broken healthcare system, securing our borders, or addressing the crisis at our southern border.

But wait, it gets even better. According to the letter, this whole UFO thing represents a “confluence of concerning governmental actions” and shows a “lack of forthrightness” from the Pentagon and intelligence community. Seriously? We’re supposed to believe that the real issue here is a grand government conspiracy hiding UFOs from us? Give me a break.
Look, I’m all for government transparency and accountability, but let’s focus on the issues that actually impact the American people. We have real problems in this country, and UFOs shouldn’t distract us from addressing them. It’s time for our lawmakers to get their heads out of the clouds and start working on the things that truly matter.
