Over the last two years, Congressional hearings on UFOs have introduced new terms to the popular vernacular. From hearings on Navy pilots who spotted a “Tic-Tac” UFO in 2004, we got the term “unidentified anomalous phenomena” (UAP). Then reports of strange objects hovering above the ocean gave us “Unidentified Submerged Objects” (USOs).
Now, believers and skeptics alike can add another new bit of vocabulary to the debate around these bizarre happenings, which may tie them all together: “Immaculate Constellation.”
During last week’s UAP hearings on Capitol Hill, multiple witnesses described the elaborately named program as an alleged information-gathering and evidence-retrieval program conducted by the Pentagon without Congressional oversight. The Immaculate Constellation program, they say, has been withholding a treasure trove of high-resolution images and other data about UAP sightings from the public for decades.
