Ask a Pol ~ interactive political journalism ~ what should we ask Congress next?

Who?

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) — Member, Intelligence and Armed Services Committees

Ask a Pol asks:

“UAP” isn’t mentioned once in this year’s NDAA and there are only seven mentions of “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena” — has the 119th Congress just moved past the term “UAP” and started calling it “drones” and “UAS” instead?

Key Gillibrand:

“We know they’re drones. They’re not unidentified. So they’re unmanned aerial systems,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand exclusively tells Ask a Pol UAP.

But in a classified briefing two years out from the Langley Air Force Base incursions —or “swarms“ that effectively shut the base down for 17 days — the Pentagon told Senate Intel Vice-chair Mark Warner and Sen. Tim Kaine they have no idea what they were.

“That’s fair,” Gillibrand says. “That’s fair. We could have called them UAP or we could have called them UAS.”
