KEY LARGO, Fla. — North Conway native John McSherry says he had a UFO encounter as a fighter pilot in the 1960s and is excited that Congress is now taking UFOs seriously.

House Intelligence Committee’s Counterterrorism, Counterintelligence and Counterproliferation subcommittee convened a hearing Tuesday about UFOs for the first time in five decades. According to The New York Times, some incidents mentioned involved craft with unusually fast movement. The Pentagon has created a new task force to handle such reports, the Times said.
