Nevada Senate candidates back UFO probe, spar over inflation, abortion in contentious debate

LAS VEGAS — In their one-and-only swing state Senate debate, Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) and Sam Brown, the GOP nominee, traded blows over abortion and investments — but found common ground on flying saucers and little green men.

The two squared off Thursday at KLAS-TV in Las Vegas in a debate that aired statewide in English and Spanish.

Rosen, seeking her second Senate term, and Brown, a former Army captain seriously wounded in Afghanistan, believe the government should investigate “unidentified anomalous phenomena,” or UAPs, more commonly called UFOs.

“I do think it’s important that we do our independent investigation,” Rosen said, adding the Senate should oversee the probe.
