RADM Tim Gallaudet Testifies on UAP Encounters and Institutional Secrecy

Retired Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, former acting administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), testified before the House Oversight Subcommittee at the November 2024 UAP hearing. Gallaudet described how during his Navy career he became aware of UAP encounters involving naval assets and expressed concern about a culture of secrecy preventing proper investigation. He advocated for expanded ocean-based UAP research, noting that transmedium objects, those observed transitioning between air and water, represent a significant gap in current monitoring capabilities.
