Parsing through the rhetoric is nigh impossible, options are better for guessing at agendas: the hearing is a bid for better transparency (a bill to mitigate over-classification) and cease the gag orders, reprisals and protect whistleblowers.

The witnesses believe what they are saying in regard to non-human intelligence and surveillance from other actors, either from this world or another and possessing technology far beyond our own.

Or they are highly paid highly trained liars (very likely) who prefer the lies above divulging secret classified information which carries consequences...lies less so.

Or a psychological tactic to sow discord among the population.

All in all business as usual - lots of questions, not many answers. But at least a fascinating topic.

I remember when my daughter was small, her father said he was being chased by a flying saucer. Ended up being the result of a bad coke trip. It would be ignorant to believe we are the only ones existing in our universe. I only hope that other civilians are not as power hungry as we are.
