As of November 1, 2026, no date for the next UAP hearing in 2026 was confirmed on the House Oversight Committee’s official hearing page. Chairman James Comer reportedly intended to revisit a hearing after the election, but that reported plan was not an official scheduling announcement.
Is a November 2026 UAP Hearing Confirmed?
| Status | What readers can say as of November 1 |
|---|---|
| Confirmed | James Comer chairs House Oversight. Its official hearing page did not list a November 2026 UAP hearing date. |
| Reported plan | In an interview account published October 7, Comer expressed an intention to try to resume hearing plans in November, following the election. |
| Not announced | A hearing date, time, venue and witness list. The interview account also said a topic had not been agreed. |
The absence of a posted date does not establish cancellation. See our House UAP hearing guide. For context, the 2025 UAP transparency hearing does not confirm a November 2026 date.
What Was Reported About a Post-Election Hearing?
The Ask a Pol UAP interview account attributes the remarks to a September 16 conversation between reporter Matt Laslo and Comer. Published October 7, it describes Comer as intending to try to resume UAP hearing plans during the post-election session. It also reports that a topic had not been agreed and that arranging witnesses remained a challenge.
That is a statement of intent, not a booking. A proposed hearing becomes a scheduled public event when the committee announces its date, place and subject through its formal process. The reported November timeframe does not supply any of those details.
Who Announces the Hearing, and Where Should Readers Look?
For the hearing Comer discussed, House Oversight is the committee to watch. Its committee rules assign announcement of a hearing’s date, place and subject to the chair or relevant subcommittee chair. An interview about a possible hearing is separate from that committee action.
Check the committee’s hearing page for a new notice and any linked witness information. The House Clerk’s committee listing is another official place to follow committee activity. If a November UAP hearing is announced, use the notice’s date and details rather than a date repeated in a news report or social post.
The Bottom Line on November Plans
The answer for anyone seeking the next congressional UAP hearing date is unchanged as of November 1: Comer’s post-election intention was reported, but no November hearing date was confirmed. Revisit the House Oversight hearing page for an official announcement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Could a subcommittee announce the hearing instead of the full House Oversight Committee?
Yes. House Oversight’s rules allow the relevant subcommittee chair, as well as the committee chair, to announce a hearing’s date, place and subject.
If a hearing notice appears without a witness list, is the hearing scheduled?
Under committee rules, the chair announces the hearing’s date, place and subject; witness information is separate. Check the notice and its linked materials separately for witness information.
