The subject is relative to a news article today that relates some detail regarding the thrust of this panel. It seems that a former U.S. Congressional Rep will preside over the panel.
Could this be a next step toward "full disclosure"?
Here is the article:
Washington — A group hoping to prove alien contact with Earth has tapped former U.S. Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick to help convince the federal government to acknowledge the existence of extraterrestrials.
The Detroit Democrat and mother to former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick will help preside over 30 hours of congressional-style hearings April 29 to May 3 at Washington's National Press Club. She did not respond to calls for comment.
Dubbed the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure, the public panel pledges to expose evidence of "extraterrestrial vehicles" and a government effort to deny sightings of such craft commonly called UFOs.
Stephen Bassett, executive director of the Bethesda, Md.-based Paradigm Research Group that is hosting the hearings, said he sought former members of Congress to interview dozens of witnesses in a style that harkens back to their work peppering witnesses in congressional hearings.
"I had invitations out to about 50 former members who I thought were likely candidates to participate, and Congresswoman Kilpatrick was the first one to respond," Bassett said.
Kilpatrick became a U.S. representative in 1997 but lost her seat to Hansen Clarke after a 2010 primary challenge.
Kilpatrick will be joined by five other former members of Congress for the hearings. Each will be paid about $20,000 and their expenses will be covered, Bassett said.
Joining Kilpatrick on the bipartisan panel are ex-Sen. Mike Gravel of Alaska (Democrat and more recently Libertarian), as well as former Reps. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., Darlene Hooley, D-Ore., Roscoe Bartlett, R-Md., and Merrill Cook, R-Utah.
The chosen panel members weren't required to believe in aliens or a government cover-up, but pledged to keep an open mind.
"I made it clear to them that I am unlikely to be persuaded," Utah's Cook told the Salt Lake Tribune. "Extraterrestrial life? I can buy into that as a possibility, but to this day I have not heard or read or seen anything that makes me believe that anyone has encountered one on Earth."
The Paradigm Research Group disagrees. "We've been tracking these (extraterrestrial) crafts for decades," Bassett said. The evidence is "overwhelming — beyond any reasonable doubt there's an extraterrestrial presence (and) almost certainly from another planet," he said.
The five days of testimony are to be filmed and included in a documentary.
Bassett started the Paradigm Research Group, a lobbying organization, in 1996 urging the government to reveal evidence of extraterrestrials engaging the human race.
The organization collected enough signatures from fellow alien believers on a White House citizen petition Web page in 2011 to generate an official response.
"The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race," Phil Larson, from the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, wrote in response to the petition. "In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public's eye."
The Wall Street Journal devoted part of a 2011 article on the White House's "We the People" petition project to Paradigm Research Group.
Bassett said he hopes the hearings will generate enough attention for the government to change its mind.
"There is a government policy of denial," Bassett said. "And once that policy ends, we are going to learn the truth about this phenomenon pretty quickly."

That is good news, another round at high levels and in the open.
( I wonder if any of these people have good photos that I can run and get back to them before they start )
If you find out who will be presenting please post it. I get zero news on this kind of stuff here. You are the eyes and ears.

They are doomed to fail... becuase if they find nothing and say so, no one will believe them
::)
QuoteStephen Bassett,
Oh him.... okay

See? there you have it "The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet..." case closed There will be no disclosure. In fact we can't even go to the Moon or Mars in most of our lifetimes
Case closed :P

We still don't know what happened at Roswell... it's past the 50 year declassifying time limit... they will NOT change their mind :D

Not gonna happen :D
You're 100% correct Z........ there will be NO disclosure...
It's NOT because they don't want to disclose the truth,
but rather they are unable to.
The "Human Species" is NOT in Control, regarding this !
I'm gonna disagree with you.
Disclosure is inevitable. There is absolutely no way it will be avoided. And while this new "buzzing" won't be the "disclosure" that people want or need, it will set the stage for the real deal.
I don't make predictions, they NEVER work out well. However: there will be disclosure likely by the end of this year, and by 1 JAN, 2015 at the latest.
I have what I think are good reasons for this, and am preparing some material, so be patient lease.
Hi Anthra! Of course, you could be very right on! There is some general opinion that disclosure is coming at some point, and even maybe is in the beginning processes.
As this seems to be an area of your keen interests, I will post a closely related link, also on this forum, for you. If you haven't had an opportunity to see it previously, it might add to your "material preparations". The title of this post is "Pandora's Box - The Disclosure Lite Program".

Yeah my point in less word's
They cannot say to the public that "hey we not knowing how to eradicate a bug and the bugs have control."
Never will happen and I can honestly see the reasoning behind that. SG1 explains that for the astute and we can be happy with that. Roll our life sushi roll style if we want a meditation and see a bit more and life aint so bad here!
Getting ya arse kicked is not something I would like to hear to find inspiration in. Long ancient war :D

Disclosure is what you make it ;D
Its all Around You, and if the Big O came out and said Bob Lazar was right all along No-one would believe it and we would set up global committees in search of this statement to find nothing.
Disclosure is a slow process as John Lear State's. Personally it happens everyday for many people :)
"Disclosure" can't happen on a Global scale.. History proves this... but instead it has been
taking place on an individual basis.
The reason being..... it has nothing at all to do with "human development" !
Most don't understand what their experience (primate & Universe) is really about. :)
It's NOT about Power, Human development or human achievement nor $$$$, or religion,
good & evil or anything like these, but involves something entirely different. :)

Results are the true teachers of all, and everything. "Results" on everything is certain. For many the "teaching" will be instant and forced. And thus, the "fool" shall be revealed unto himself.
