UAP Congressional Efforts

There’s been a lot of speculation lately about whether Congress has lost interest in the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) issue. Journalist Ross Coulthart says that couldn’t be further from the truth.In fact, according to Coulthart, Congress is actively working behind the scenes and preparing to make more moves publicly. One of those major developments includes a new interview coming later this week on NewsNation with Senator Mike Rounds.Senator Rounds to Go Public on UAPSenator Rounds, a key figure who sits on both the Armed Services and Senate Intelligence Committees, has agreed to an exclusive interview with Ross Coulthart. The focus of the interview will be the UAP Disclosure Act, an amendment that previously faced resistance in Congress.Rounds initially helped lead the effort alongside Senator Chuck Schumer. That push stalled when other senators opposed the legislation. Now, according to Coulthart, the amendment has been rewritten and will soon be reintroduced in Congress.A Congressional Hearing Is ComingCoulthart says a Congressional hearing on UAPs is also in the works. “I'm told there will be a Congressional hearing and that they are determined to try to have a hearing,” he said. “The UAP disclosure amendment that was dropped… has now been rewritten and will soon be reintroduced.” He emphasized that while progress may appear slow, it’s often because Congress is dealing with many urgent global issues (war in the Middle East).Response to the WSJ ArticleRecently, the Wall Street Journal published an article suggesting that UAP sightings are not extraterrestrial or non-human in origin, but rather part of elaborate military hazing rituals. One example cited was the famous Malmstrom Air Force Base incident in the late 1960s. Some believe non-human intelligence (NHI) shut down nuclear missiles there. The WSJ suggested it may have been a military operation using technology that wasn't publicly available at the time.Coulthart strongly disagrees with this interpretation. He accused the WSJ of deliberately misrepresenting sources and said the article misleads the public.“We've now crossed the line where it can't be perceived as a simple error. What this is, is deliberate misrepresentation.”Coulthart believes the article may have been an attempt to discourage Congressional interest in the UAP topic. “Whatever it was that the Wall Street Journal was trying to achieve in their article, it will be demonstrated by Congressional interest that their attempts have failed.”What Happens Next?With the rewritten UAP Disclosure Act set to return, and a new hearing on the horizon, more developments are likely in the coming weeks. The upcoming interview with Senator Rounds may help clarify how much support the disclosure effort still has.

Rep. Anna Luna has made it clear that the upcoming Congressional hearing on UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) will not be just another platform for whistleblowers to share their stories. Instead, she is demanding tangible evidence to support the claims that have long circulated in the realm of UAPs and USOs (Unidentified Submerged Objects). As for the timeline, Luna indicated that the next UAP hearing is likely to occur after the JFK document release, with another potentially following in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. "We’re definitely having two," she confirmed, emphasizing that the focus will be on obtaining concrete evidence rather than merely hosting another round of testimonies.

On February 11, 2025, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) announced the formation of the "Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets," under the House Oversight Committee. Appointed by Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), Rep. Luna will lead this initiative aimed at increasing government transparency on several critical issues, including Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs).The task force's mandate encompasses the declassification of materials related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., as well as documents concerning Jeffrey Epstein, the events of September 11, 2001, the origins of COVID-19, and UAPs.Rep. Luna emphasized the importance of acknowledging the existence of UAPs from a governmental perspective, stating, "We're hoping to present that information and at least acknowledge it, from a government perspective, that we are not alone." She also revealed plans to establish a congressional delegation to visit a friendly nation that has already implemented a UFO disclosure program, aiming to learn from their approach. Additionally, the task force is working to facilitate access for whistleblower David Grusch to a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) to discuss UAP-related information.The task force's first hearing is scheduled for March 2025
