Original Title: On a recent SpyCast episode, U.S. House Intelligence Committee member Congressman Jim Himes touched on several topics, including Mike Turner, U.S. espionage capabilities, conspiracy theories, and “little green men.”
I’m a regular listener of SpyCast because of their fascinating interviews with high-level experts from across the globe, covering everything from intelligence practices and military capabilities to geopolitics and beyond. Recently, I tuned into an episode featuring Congressman Jim Himes, a member of the U.S. House Intelligence Committee. He offered some insights, mentioning topics like:
- UFO conspiracy theories
- Challenges the U.S. faces in keeping secrets
- The nation’s impressive intelligence capabilities
- Snowden’s disclosures
- Committee leader Mike Turner’s role
- Clarification that the U.S.’s “super secret stuff” doesn’t involve aliens in Roswell
- Confidence in America’s skilled intelligence workforce and advanced technology, which helps him “sleep well at night”
From this episode, it seemed clear that Congressman Jim Himes views the UFO topic with skepticism, treating it more as a conspiracy theory than a serious issue. He appears dismissive of the idea of disclosure, aligning with Committee leader Mike Turner on this stance.

For anyone following the disclosure debate, his comments offer a revealing perspective on where key Intelligence Committee members stand.
