In recent testimony before the Oversight Committee of the US House of Representatives, US Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm acknowledged the involvement of military special forces in investigating unidentified flying objects (UFOs) near nuclear facilities.
This revelation came during a pointed exchange with Representative Anna Paulina Luna on May 23.
Luna initially asked whether the Department of Energy (DoE) had involved federal counterterrorism personnel in these investigations. Granholm’s initial response was evasive, but upon further prodding, she confirmed the DoE’s cooperation with the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC).
“Yes, we do,” Granholm finally admitted when Luna asked him directly about the DoE’s partnership with JSOC.
Granholm’s testimony also included references to UFOs, now formally called unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), which were identified as drones around critical U.S. infrastructure.
When Luna brought up reports of similar sightings dating back to the 1940s, Granholm promised to take action, indicating there was no immediate response. Granholm also denied any knowledge of attempts to reverse engineer UFO technology.
This admission is significant because JSOC’s involvement indicates high-level security measures and potential interest in the technological aspects of these phenomena.
UFO expert Jeremy Corbell emphasized the importance of this recognition, noting JSOC’s alleged role in recovering and studying alien technology.
The exchange highlighted the ongoing complexity and secrecy surrounding the U.S. government’s handling of UAPs. Although the term UFO usually conjures up images of alien craft, the term broadly refers to any aerial object of unknown origin.
