Michael Shellenberger is an American author, environmentalist, and political commentator who became involved in the UFO/UAP topic as part of his broader exploration of controversial issues. In 2021, Shellenberger made headlines when he publicly discussed his views on the U.S. government's handling of UFOs and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs). He also became more directly involved in the UAP conversation by engaging with figures like Lue Elizondo, former head of the Pentagon's Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), and supporting the idea that the U.S. government should take UAPs seriously as a national security concern. During the November 2024 U.S. House of Representatives Oversight Committee hearing titled "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth," Michael Shellenberger stated that sources had informed him that intelligence agencies are withholding a significant amount of visual and other data regarding UAPs.
