Editor's context
This is the first formally-noticed House committee hearing dedicated to UAP whistleblower protection since the July 2023 Grusch hearing. Wiggins is a serving USN Senior Chief; Borland and Nuccetelli are USAF veterans with prior on-record UAP accounts. Knapp is the veteran investigative journalist who broke the Bob Lazar story in 1989. The hearing is under Luna's chairmanship of the Federalization, Immigration, and Government Operations Subcommittee, continuing the same congressional line that produced her March 31 letter demanding the 46 videos which preceded PURSUE Release 01.
