Rep. Ruben Gallego was interviewed about UAP and said there is a possibility they could be extraterrestrial in nature. The video of the interview in this link should be the most recent in the top left from January 11th.

>Q: What's the difference between UFOs and UAP?
>A: There is absolutely no difference (between "UFOs" & "UAP") but I think the logic behind it is to basically demystify it all, to destigmatize the conversation about these phenomena, whether they are UFOs. Then we can talk further about that. But one of the biggest problems we are recognizing, I recognize, is that we have a lot of π±π³π°π§π¦π΄π΄πͺπ°π―π’π pilots, people in the military, that are afraid of uttering the word, "UFO."

And if you have a problem like that, then you need to have a solution to do that. And in order to have a solution, you need to have a study and treat this like a real, potential threat that it is. When I say 'potential threat,' it could be some really advanced Russian weaponry, some really advanced private weaponry. It could be natural, things that are happening in nature that are affecting our radars. Or yes, it can be extraterrestrial, at the same time.
>Q: What is a UFO Rapid Response Team and how would they work?
>A: OK, well it's not as cool as it sounds (laughs). But look, it's essentially a team that is to investigate occurrences of UAPs, right? And the most important thing for their job to do is to gather information and gather information quickly. And what usually happens for a lot of
