Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was baffled when he was singled out to reply “the UFO question” at Wednesday night time’s GOP main debate.
“C’mon, man!” Christie stated, chuckling, after co-moderator Martha MacCallum started her question in regards to the “recent spike in UFO encounters.”
“I get the UFO question?” he added, to loud laughter from the viewers.
“If you were president,” MacCallum continued, “would you level with the American people about what the government knows about these encounters?”
Christie joked that it was “horrible” that the Fox Information host, a fellow New Jersey native, requested him “about unidentified flying objects and Martians” simply because he’s from the state.
“We’re different, but we’re not that different,” he quipped.
Jokes apart, Christie stated the president’s job is to be trustworthy with the general public, whether or not discussing UFOs or points with the training system.
“Look, the job of the president of the United States is to level with the American people about everything. The job of the president of the United States is to stand for truth,” he stated.
UFOs, additionally referred to as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), have more and more develop into a topic of debate in Congress lately.
In 2021, following stress from lawmakers, U.S. intelligence officers publicly acknowledged that UAP sightings by Navy pilots and others are deserving of authentic scrutiny.
Final month, a whistleblower and former Air Drive intelligence officer testified to Congress that the U.S. authorities had a multi-decade program that retrieves UFOs, and stated that “non-human” “biologics” had been discovered at crash websites the place the objects had been recovered.
Retired Maj. David Grusch accused the federal government of protecting up this system. The Pentagon denied his claims.
