A Florida congresswoman says she believes some of the UFO sightings that have made headlines in recent years are “of non-human origin” and possibly “interdimensional beings.”
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is a member of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, which has been investigating UFO allegations and conducting landmark hearings with military whistleblowers.
She revealed to The Grant Mitt Podcast this week that after a classified meeting with Air Force whistleblowers, she “absolutely believes” the planes they and others have described are “of non-human origin.”
Luna also claimed that at that same meeting he was ‘men in black’, first by Pentagon officials who tried to cancel the visit, and then by CIA agents who were inexplicably following his meeting with Air Force personnel.
Reps. Matt Gaetz (left), Tim Burchett (center) and Anna Paulina Luna (right) recently traveled to Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, Rep. Luna said. There they received classified information about UFOs from a whistleblower.
His phrase was referring to the pop culture conspiracy theory image of government agents in black suits, who are sent to keep people silent about UFO sightings.
“As a member of Oversight, we follow up on whistleblowers and can also carry out our own investigations,” he told Mitterlehner.
In the course of one of these investigations, he said, Luna and two other US representatives went to Eglin Air Force Base, on the Florida peninsula, where they met with one of those whistleblowers.
The other two representatives who attended the visit were Tim Burchett of Tennessee, who also serves on the Oversight and Accountability Committee, and Matt Gaetz of Florida, who serves on the House Armed Services Committee and the House Judiciary Committee.
He came away from that visit with strong conclusions:
“I can tell you, based on my research, not in a classified environment, that I absolutely believe that there are things that are advanced technologies and not of human origin,” he told Mitterlehner.
Luna claimed that the Pentagon attempted to cancel his visit to Eglin Air Force Base, which he made as part of a delegation to investigate whistleblower claims that the Air Force was covering up information about UFOs.
His view is increasingly shared among lawmakers and the American public, as a series of high-profile revelations and hearings in recent years have taken UFOs out of the realm of conspiracy theories and into the mainstream. scope of political debate.
Luna, Gaetz and others have pressured the Pentagon to declassify material related to UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena).
Eglin’s pilots had shown up at Rep. Gaetz’s office to say that the Air Force was covering up UAP activity and that Congress needed to investigate it.
“We coordinated the meeting,” Luna said. ‘The Pentagon initially tried to cancel the first one. We registered it again. We got there, walked in, and the base commander basically tried to tell us that we didn’t have clearance to investigate and talk to some of the witnesses.
U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna could not reveal classified details of her meeting with military officials at Eglin, but told Grant Mitterlehner that she “absolutely believes” the UAP images “are not of human origin.”
“You can’t tell Congress that we don’t have the authority authorized,” he said, “especially members of the Armed Services, Oversight and the House Judiciary.”

David Grusch, a former high-ranking intelligence official, is one of three military whistleblowers who testified under oath that they know firsthand of secret programs involving technology that far exceeds the capabilities of the United States.
So he argued with the base commander, Luna said. And in the middle of the meeting a leave was taken, “which never happens with a delegation that goes to a military base,” he added.
There were also attendees at the meeting who Luna was “pretty sure” were from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), an unusual occurrence.
‘Why would an intelligence agency be present at a whistleblower meeting?’ she asked.
Luna also spoke about the July 2023 congressional hearing, where whistleblower David Grusch described under oath how the US government has been aware of UFOs for nearly a century and has been misinforming the public about them.
That hearing, which followed Luna’s visit to Eglin, contained information she found “particularly alarming,” given allegations that people may have been murdered to keep the UFO story secret.
‘Have you received classified information?’ —Mitterlehner asked Luna.
“Yes, but I can’t talk about that,” she replied.
When asked if he had believed in aliens before becoming a member of Congress, Luna corrected the statement.
“I wouldn’t call them aliens,” he said. “I really like what Grusch calls them: he says they’re interdimensional beings and he’s very specific about it.”
This still image comes from a previously released unclassified US government video taken by an Air Force pilot. Representative Luna said pilots no longer hesitate to speak up when they see unexplained phenomena in the sky.
What this means, Luna clarified, is that “they are not necessarily a biological entity from another planet per se.”
The case he alluded to was likely that of last year, in which Gaetz had described seeing images of “an orb” suspended over the Gulf of Mexico, moving in a way that was “not of any human capacity.”
He saw the images during a visit to Eglin Air Force Base, where Air Force pilots described a diamond-shaped formation of planes they saw on radar.
“One of the pilots goes to check that diamond formation and sees a large floating object, what I can only describe as an orb,” he said at the time. “Again, like I said, not of any human capacity that I know of.”
He also spoke about the enormous change that the country has experienced in recent years, far from the stigma that talking about extraterrestrial beings or UFOs previously carried.
“When I was stationed at the Portland Air Guard unit several years ago, I remember an incident occurred and the pilots came back and I asked one of them what he thought it was, and he couldn’t really talk about it,” he recounted. ‘He didn’t want to because the stigma that the military has is that you are crazy.
“But we’re seeing that, especially with the technology we have, even your iPhone, for example, you can record things and they’re not going to be classified.”
“We hope more people come forward,” he added.
Luna also noted that she is encouraged by the bipartisan push for transparency on the issue, which makes it ironic that other government officials or offices appear to be blocking her and her colleagues’ efforts to find out what is happening with UAPs.
“If Congress is writing bills to fund these programs, but we don’t have authorized access or oversight, then that’s not necessarily something that happens in a free country, right?” she said. “So we kept pushing.”
