James Comer Tells Ask a Pol He Wants a November UAP Hearing

The source is Matt Laslo’s original Ask a Pol interview with House Oversight Chair James Comer, dated September 16, 2026 and published October 7 with a transcript. Comer said the committee had tried to hold a UAP hearing in September, but canceled session days disrupted those plans. He wanted to resume the effort in November and anticipated an active post-election session. He said a topic had not been agreed and securing good witnesses remained difficult. This supports an intention to pursue a hearing, not a confirmed date, witness list or subject. Laslo raised missing scientists in his questions; Comer referred him to Tim Burchett, Anna Paulina Luna and especially Eric Burlison. The exchange does not establish a connection between missing scientists and UAP programs. Social posts about the interview are derivative coverage of the same reporting.
