Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform's Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, said in a statement on Wednesday that the panel will push for "maximum transparency" from the government.

"The American people deserve maximum transparency from the federal government on sightings, acquisitions, and examinations of UAPs and whether they pose a potential threat to Americans' safety," she said. She went on to say that "whistleblowers who provide details on spending information and policies and procedures regarding the classification and declassification of UAPs should be able to do so without retribution."

The hearing is scheduled for 10am Tuesday in Washington, DC and will be streamed online.
