Two top United States military officials are set to testify in the first public congressional hearing on \u201cunidentified flying objects\u201d (UFOs<\/a>) in more than 50 years.<\/p>\n

The hearing on Tuesday comes 11 months after a US government report<\/a> detailed 144 UFO \u2013 or as they are officially called \u201cunidentified aerial phenomena\u201d (UAP) \u2013 sightings by the military since 2004.<\/p>\n

Those testifying will be Ronald Moultrie, the US defence under-secretary for intelligence and security who oversees the department\u2019s Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group, and Scott Bray, the deputy director of naval intelligence.<\/p>\n

Sightings of aircraft that do not appear to match known technology or that appear to defy the laws of physics have long been cited by amateur observers and sleuths<\/a> as evidence of extraterrestrial life, with many speculating the US government has more evidence<\/a> of alien visitors than it has revealed.<\/p>\n
