Arizona Rep. Representative Eli Crane took part in a UFO hearing hosted by the House taskforce on government transparency on Tuesday morning. The hearing included three military veterans and a journalist talking about their alleged encounters with UFOs.

"[Hearing] testimony from honorable service members, watching videos like my colleague Mr. Burlison just presented, you know, I got to admit I’ve become a believer," Crane said.

The hearing centered on government disclosure and protection for whistleblowers, as others have claimed they were punished for coming forward with their stories.
