    A couple highlights from Sen. Gillibrand in the interview:

    Regarding AARO’s report: “Oh, it’s definitely not case closed. I think that their report was just that their analysis of everything they were shown and everyone they talked to, cause they had no basis to say there’s a secret program. But of note, the two whistleblowers that I’ve met with did not meet with AARO and refused to meet with AARO. And so maybe the next director they’ll meet with, but I can’t assess them unless AARO can talk to them, cause I don’t — I mean, AARO knows what they know and what they’ve seen and what they’ve been shown.”

    Regarding UAP: “It’s terrifying from a national security perspective and just for these pilots to have to fly and do their jobs to not be safe and to not know what they’re running up against. And I’m just very worried about technology that we’re not aware of, particularly if it’s from an adversary that’s doing it for malign interests, whether it’s Russia, China, Iran or others. Very important.”
