NASA releases UFO report

NASA released its UFO report Thursday and many people hoped it might shed some light on the question: are we alone? FOX 5's Tom Fitzgerald is reports from NASA headquarters in Southwest D.C.

The joint hearing will be led by representatives Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) and Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.)

"Americans deserve to understand what the government has learned about UAP sightings, and the nature of any potential threats these phenomena pose. We can only ensure that understanding by providing consistent, systemic transparency. We look forward to hearing from expert witnesses on ways to shed more light and bring greater accountability to this issue," Mace and Grothman said in a statement.
