WASHINGTON, D.C. (Network Indiana) — Congressman Andre Carson says he’s concerned about the government report on over 150 sightings of UFOs. Carson, in an interview on “Face the Nation”, said he’s concerned about foreign adversaries having technology that the United States government doesn’t know about, and that that tech could pose a threat.
“We can’t rule out something that’s other worldly, but that’s a very small percentage,” said Carson, a Democrat who represents parts of Indianapolis in DC. “People want members of the government to say it’s extraterrestrial. We won’t stop there.”
Carson said the report is inconclusive, but that roughly 80 of the sightings had been detected by some of the best technology available. The unclassified reports do not conclude whether the objects may have come from outer space, or whether they belong to adversaries like Russia or China.
“It poses a technological concern for us and it poses a national security concern for us,” he said.
Carson said he wants to see hearings on the matter in front of Congress and in front of the American people.
“We don’t want our adversaries to have a technological advance over us in terms of what they can do,” he said. “What’s curious is that many of these sightings have occurred around many of our military assets, our naval bases, our military installations.”
