Rep. Anna Paulina Luna

still at the time at the Guard.

And I remember kind of talking to some of the pilots about it, and I was like, what was that?

And they're like, eh, we can't really talk about it.

No one really wanted to address it.

And so from what I'd gathered, that had been likely a UAP.

And so that kind of was my perspective.

Granted, I also grew up in the generation of the X-Files and, you know, I don't know if you remember 94 Independence Day.

So like,

For me specifically, I didn't look at it with like a crazy lens and perspective.

I'm like, you know, you never know if we're the only ones out there essentially.

Because of the way that he was discussing it.

So he had been, he didn't want to, from what I gather, get taken off flight status.

And he's like, I really can't discuss it.

We couldn't really like identify it essentially.

And it had outperformed them.

And so that was my first from a military perspective kind of experience with someone who basically, you know, there's a stigma within the flight community.

Do you want to lose your security clearance?

What you know, is there this level of crazy that people kind of brand that will stick with you and kind of ruin your career?

Well, at the time, right, so it was an older platform, but he really didn't want to even talk about it.

And I bring that up because now with our investigation and the task force that I run, actually the reason why the task force was formed was because of an event that happened at Eglin Air Force Base where both myself, Representative Mack Gates, and Representative Tim Burchett actually had responded and gone to investigate multiple Air Force pilots that had come forward in regards to UAP incidents.
