House Oversight Chairman James Comer wants to return to UAP hearings after the election, according to an interview published by Ask a Pol on October 7. His comments describe an intention to resume planning, with the hearing’s subject and participants still unsettled.
In the September 16 exchange with reporter Matt Laslo, Comer said an attempt to hold a hearing in September had been overtaken by changes to the House schedule. He said he would try again in November.
Asked what the hearing would cover, Comer said a topic had not been agreed. He also identified finding suitable witnesses as a challenge. The published interview supplies no confirmed hearing date or witness list.
An ongoing oversight subject
The committee has an established UAP record. Its April 1 statement described a request by task-force chair Anna Paulina Luna for specified UAP videos, following the task force’s September 9, 2025 hearing. The committee presented that request as part of its examination of government reporting and AARO’s work.
A further hearing could give members an opportunity to follow up on earlier requests and put additional testimony on the public record. What it actually examines will depend on the eventual notice, scope and witnesses.
What to watch next
The immediate milestone is a formal committee announcement. That should establish whether the planned session proceeds and provide the details needed to follow it. Until then, November is Comer’s stated target rather than a settled appointment on the public calendar.
The distinction matters for readers tracking disclosure claims: a lawmaker’s interest is evidence of political attention, while a completed hearing, released document or published finding supplies a different kind of record. The latest interview advances the scheduling picture without announcing new evidence about any particular UAP case.
