Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., introduced legislation that would create a commission to oversee the declassification of documents related to unidentified aerial phenomena and extraterrestrials. It is included in the National Defense Authorization Act and appears to have enough support to pass.
“For decades, many Americans have been fascinated by objects mysterious and unexplained and it’s long past time they get some answers. The American public has a right to learn about technologies of unknown origins, non-human intelligence, and unexplainable phenomena,” Schumer said in a statement. “We are not only working to declassify what the government has previously learned about these phenomena but to create a pipeline for future research to be made public.”
Schumer has the backing of other senators including Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y.
The board would be modeled on the JFK Assassination Records Collection Act. It could keep documents classified if they determine it’s necessary for national security.
Members of the board would be chosen by the president and confirmed by the senate.
The House approved a similar amendment in its version of the National Defense Authorization Act. The chambers will have to go to conference to iron out the differences on that and other measures.
America has an insatiable appetite for UFOs yet the government has only provided a small taste of what’s out there.
In a video released by the Navy in 2020, pilots can be heard reacting with excitement and awe as they watched unknown objects moving at extraordinary speeds against 120 knot winds. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a report in 2021 that essentially said there are things out there we can’t explain.
America has an insatiable appetite for UFO’s yet the government has only provided a small taste of what’s out there.
In 2020, the Navy publicly released videos of unidentified flying objects recorded in fighter jets and the office of the director of national intelligence released a report in 2021 that pretty much said there are things out there we can’t explain.
But America and even Congress want to know more. So Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is hoping to pass a bipartisan amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act to create a commission that would be in charge of declassifying government records related to unidentified aerial phenomena and extraterrestrials. Schumer said it would be modeled off the JFK Assassination Records Collection Act. The board could keep documents classified if they determine it’s necessary for national security.
Senator Schumer said in a statement: “For decades, many Americans have been fascinated by objects mysterious and unexplained and it’s long past time they get some answers. The American public has a right to learn about technologies of unknown origins, non-human intelligence, and unexplainable phenomena.”
Schumer has bipartisan support for the measure from other Senators including Marco Rubio and Kristen Gillbrand. A similar amendment passed the House, so it appears on track to become law.
