Ok, not making this up. This was a real petition made to the whitehouse in their "We the People" thing where if enough people sign on to a petition the white house must make an offical response (no matter how dumb the question maybe). A petition was made calling for the white house to release the classified documents on contact with extraterrestrial life.
the response:
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/response/searching-et-no-evidence-yet
basically says there is a high probablity of life out there, but none that has made it here.
Not being satisfied, the group responsible for the petition is convening a "citizens hearing on disclosure" to break the "truth embargo" on government covering up ET contact. It's a mock senate hearing over 5 days of testimony from dozens of witnesses and being presided over by 6 former members of congress held at the national press club that will be configured to resemble a senate hearing room. There is even a movie trailer type thing for the event.

The event is estimated to cost over $600,000 including $20,000 for each former congress member.
Soooo yeah.... this is apparently a thing...
