Boebert jokes about flat Earth at UFO hearing while challenging Pentagon secrecy

During a House Oversight Committee hearing on UFOs, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) made headlines by jokingly claiming "the Earth is flat." She referenced warnings against discussing the Pentagon's Immaculate Constellation program, which tracks UAP encounters. Boebert continued her remarks by listing other conspiracy theories, including that birds are government drones and questioning the legitimacy of the 2020 election results. She expressed a willingness to provoke further scrutiny. She later asked author Michael Shellenberger if he believed that classifying UAPs was against the public's interest. Shellenberger supported the idea of increased transparency on UAPs and other government matters.
