"Washington" - Former U.S. Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick said Monday she was ready to boldly go where others have not gone before and called for an international probe into space aliens.

After a day of hearing testimony from believers in alien life forms, Kilpatrick offered up herself to launch an effort with other countries to bring to light the existence of extraterrestrials.

"It's important that we work with foreign governments," an impassioned Kilpatrick said after she and five other former members of Congress heard nearly eight hours of testimony. "There's been 10 or 15 already identified who have acknowledged this existence. I want to be part of that."

Cheers for Kilpatrick rocketed across the room as the first day ended of a week of hearings aimed at exposing a government cover-up of proof of extraterrestrials.

Sponsored by Paradigm Research Group, a private extraterrestrial lobbying organization, Kilpatrick and the other ex-lawmakers are being paid 20,000 each to listen to about 30 hours of testimony that will be the basis for a documentary on UFOs.

A bevy of activists, journalists and researchers landed in the National Press Club ballroom to show their "evidence" of extraterrestrial life and a decades-long policy by the U.S. government to cover it up.

A retired Air Force member and astronaut talked of alien evidence, others talked of an alleged government cover-up of Roswell, N.M., the purported site of a UFO crash in 1947. A Canadian researcher called the government's silence on extraterrestrials "a cosmic-Watergate." A medical doctor turned ET center founder explained secret funding of U.S. projects to develop anti-gravity devices that run without oil, gas or coal.

Also in the audience were a man and woman from Chicago wearing metal headbands with quartz to better conduct communication with extraterrestrial life.

It sounds like the work of science fiction, but Kilpatrick and her co-panelists treated the testimony with the diligence of serious government policy.

"I think today's whole experience has been one of intelligence - higher than the norm in our society," Kilpatrick said to a panel of witnesses.

She talked of advancing from a horse and buggy society to one of electronic communications and to now talking of phasing out oil, gas and coal.

"But we can do this if we broaden our scope," Kilpatrick said of international relations. "It's not us and them or them and us. It's us."

Once a member of the powerful House Appropriations Committee, Kilpatrick spent years deciding government budgets. But since she lost re-election in the wake of the scandals of her son, former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, she's now turned to collecting evidence on alien contact with Earth.

Early on in the testimony, Kilpatrick was hesitant to draw any conclusions and struck a tone of business.

Harkening back to her congressional days, Kilpatrick proceeded with her questions with a sense of maintaining order. She urged witnesses to provide written testimony and exhibits. She cut off some who weren't getting to the point: "Stop talking."

She spoke of herself as a "neophyte" on the ET topic and asked one witness who spoke of her UFO documentaries to suggest one to watch.

Another panel member, former U.S. Sen. Mike Gravel of Alaska (a Democrat who turned Libertarian), suggested the panel recommend forming a UN-style body on the issue, a suggestion that drew claps from Kilpatrick and the audience.

The bipartisan panel includes former U.S. Reps. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., Darlene Hooley, D-Ore., Roscoe Bartlett, R-Md., and Merrill Cook, R-Utah.

In opening remarks, Bartlett said Congress has failed to do its job of holding investigative ET hearings. Woolsey mused she never made the lead front page story of her local newspaper until she retired and joined Monday's panel. It's the panel's commitment, she said, to "listen through objective ears."

The White House in 2011 said the government has "no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged... the human race."

Stephen Bassett, executive director of the Bethesda, Md.-based Paradigm Research Group, called the White House statement false and pledged the hearings will reveal evidence that shows an ET presence.

Kilpatrick used some of her time for questioning to introduce Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam leader, who was in the audience. She said he is "one of the leaders in our nation on this topic." Farrakhan has spoken of his own UFO encounter that he has reportedly called "the wheel."

Jane Stevens, another audience member wearing a metal headband, praised Kilpatrick's efforts and the exposure she's helping to give to ETs.

"It's about time," Stevens said, "that we have finally come to this point in the United States where everything is finally opening up."
