Congressional Insider Claims Briefings Detail Recovered UFO Craft and Extraterrestrial Beings

Investigative journalist Tom O’Neill has revealed an extraordinary conversation with a senior congressional staffer who allegedly disclosed classified information about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). The alleged encounter took place while O’Neill was in Washington, D.C., preparing for his testimony before the House Oversight Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets regarding the CIA's MKULTRA program.

The conversation occurred during a private meeting with Democratic minority staff ahead of the MKULTRA hearing. According to O’Neill, the congressional staffer escorting him to the meeting was already aware of his involvement in UAP-related discussions at Disclosure Forum 2026, an event held on June 25th that brought together lawmakers and former national-security officials to discuss transparency and oversight concerning UAP.

During their conversation, the staffer reportedly claimed that classified briefings include information about recovered UFO craft and extraterrestrial beings. O’Neill recounted how the congressional aide stated, “If you knew what we knew,” implying a level of knowledge far beyond public disclosure. This statement suggests that there is extensive classified information regarding UAPs held by government officials.

The staffer’s comments come amid growing public interest in UAP reports and increased scrutiny from lawmakers. The Disclosure Forum 2026 event, organized by the Disclosure Foundation, aimed to foster dialogue between policymakers and experts on the implications of disclosing such information. Attendees included representatives like Anna Paulina Luna, Eric Burlison, André Carson, Suhas Subramanyam, as well as former officials like Kirk McConnell and Christopher Mellon.

O’Neill’s account raises questions about the extent of government knowledge regarding UAPs and whether there is a need for more transparency in this area. The journalist emphasized that he remains agnostic on the topic but acknowledged the staffer's assertion that his viewpoint might change if he were privy to classified information.

This revelation adds another layer to ongoing debates surrounding UAP disclosure and oversight, potentially influencing future legislative actions aimed at addressing public concerns about government secrecy and transparency in matters related to national security and extraterrestrial phenomena.
