How we treat the children, in particular, is a reflection of our laws and our values. We are talking about large numbers of children, without their parents, who have arrived at our border-hungry, thirsty, exhausted, scared and vulnerable. Those from Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras make up about three quarters of that migration.Īs Secretary Johnson said yesterday, this is a humanitarian issue as much as it is a matter of border security. By mid-June of this fiscal year, that number has doubled to more than 52,000. Last fiscal year, CBP apprehended more than 24,000 unaccompanied children at the border. We face an urgent situation in the Rio Grande Valley. Our testimony today echoes and reaffirms his comments. As you know, Secretary Johnson testified yesterday before the House Committee on Homeland Security about this situation. Thank you for the opportunity to testify today about our efforts to address the recent rise of unaccompanied children and others crossing our border in the Rio Grande Valley.

The US government's UFO report may remain largely inconclusive as far as the scientific consensus is concerned, but for alien chasers in India, who grew up on tales of X-Files and Kubrickian fantasies promised in pop sci-fi, the "truth" is still out there.Chairman Goodlatte, Ranking Member Conyers, and Members of the Committee: In the preceding seven months, more such unidentified flying objects had been seen over border areas in Arunachal Pradesh, the armed forces later said. These would usually consist of some "bullet-shaped object" in the night sky, which hovered for around 10 minutes before disappearing.Ī notable account from around this time, though, is from August 4, 2013, when Indian Army soldiers at an outpost in Ladakh reported to have spotted UFOs over the Ladan Kher area in Demchock. Predictably, however, the object was later identified to be Venus.įrom 2013 onwards, reports mentioning such UFO sightings - from Chennai to Lucknow - were fairly common. The object was reported to be emitting a bright light, resembling a halo, and triggered a tizzy wherein hundreds of people gathered along the EM Bypass to catch a glimpse of the "UFO". On October 29, 2017, a "fast-moving object" in the sky was spotted in eastern Kolkata and filmed on a handycam. Most of these reported sightings, however, came with the advent of the 21st-century, which saw the rise of the "alien chasers" with their camcorders.

One of the earliest of such instances dates as far back as 1951, when members at a flying club in New Delhi reportedly saw what they described as a "cigar-shaped object" appear in the sky near the Delhi Flying Club hangar. WATCH | Alien spacecrafts or earthlings? What Pentagon's UFO report says on sightings Despite such odds against popular imagination, talks of sighting unidentified flying objects here in India have been up for decades. Hollywood may have all but ensured that whenever extraterrestrial life does contact our species, they would choose the United States as their preferred destination. Much remains to be said, though, about "UFO sightings" and the related science-fantasy fanaticism in India. However, the Pentagon was careful enough not to rule out the possibility of such.Īlso Read | The truth is out there: Tales from India’s UFO investigatorsĪlien life enthusiasts, many of them right up the alley with QAnon acolytes and flat-earthers, observe World UFO Day on July 2 with a host of their favourite conspiracy theories on the web.

The report, reviewing as many as 120 incidents of unidentified aerial phenomena ("UAP" somewhat of a deviation from the more popular term - "UFO") in the past two decades, said that there was no 'conclusive evidence' linking these sightings to any actual extraterrestrial contact. A much-anticipated report by the United States government, published last month, may have left conspiracy theorists and self-proclaimed extraterrestrial investigators disappointed in their expectations, but it probably has not dimmed their enthusiasm one bit in spilling the beans.
