Glenn Grothman, the hearing included claims by a former Air Force intelligence officer that the Pentagon has been concealing a longstanding UAP recovery and reverse-engineering program. We talk to Glenn Grothman about the outcome of the hearing. At the same time, the 44th annual “Elmwood UFO Days” is set to happen in Wisconsin this weekend. We talk to an organizer about the event and Elmwood’s history of UFO sightings.
