Understanding UAP: Science, National Security & Innovation (House Oversight and Accountability) – Slightly “Improved” Audio / Anomaly Archives Playlist

These versions of the May 1st, 2025 “Understanding UAP” event are attempts at enhancing the audio of these presentations using the Adobe AI Audio Enhancer audio tool. Unfortunately with audio as bad as the original source, the AI Enhancer introduces its own artifacts and problematic audio. The UAPDF / UAP Disclosure Fund source video description indicates that they are aware of the problem and states that, “We will be updating the audio from live feed shortly.”
